Bahahahahhaha - if you weren’t in California [which could.. be… a lie… lol.] I’d swear that you are this guy who I’m like best friends with at my school… lol. I think almost everything you post sounds just like him. Baha. Anyway. I thought I taught you about ERNEST HEMINGWAY [cough, farewell to arms, etc etc etc, cough] in that other thread… :] So you have no excuse on that one! Haha.</p>
<p>Although I like your answers, at least you show that you got them wrong without TRYING to get them right - and that’s better than trying hard to get the right answer and still epic failing. One time my friend put my name down as the answer for “Who was the 2nd President of the United States?” :] No credit though, for that one, for some reason… aahahah. Which is funny, because I’m actually related to John Adams. lol.</p>
<p>Oh YEAH and in response to the actual question… since I’m procrastinating on more pressing matters…</p>
<p>Idc about the high school one, since I’m practically done.
For college, I like what faransaa wrote, except for a few things.</p>
<p>I’ll repost what I like, and change what I didn’t:</p>
<p>“1. Would maintain a certain level of intellectuality among students; no direct form of competitiveness pervading the campus; learning for its own sake is the main focus and want of (almost) every student”</p>
<p>“2. Fun times. By this I do not mean the obvious “frat fun” of binge drinking and purging thereafter. I am not a fan of the bulimic drinker. I do mean, however, a fun aside of Scrabble after a not-TOO-intense study session while discussing Nietsche and Dante over a cup of coffee, maybe listening to a poetry reading at a slam of sorts.” -------- without the scrabble and the studying and the listening… lol. I do love a good discussion though :]</p>
<p>skip No. 3</p>
<p>“4. The arts are a main focus on campus. (They draw larger crowds than the sports games). School spirit shared through a unifying love for all things cultural. Dance, theater, art, music, literature, all these things foster increased creativity in the already-creative student body. Everyone is passionate about something: languages, or philosophy, or juggling, or an exciting combination of the three. I don’t care what it is: the weirder, the better. Just have passion, uncontrollable, undying passion, for something(s).” ----- Yay :] This is me exactly.</p>
<p>Kind of skipping No.5 - I do not want a school that’s under like 3000 students [my HS has more than that…], but I would like a bit of a sense of community, at least. Small classes are nice, with accessible professors and such. [3000-5000] < that’s more of my ideal numbers.</p>
<ol>
<li>Professors are intelligent, engaging, thought-provoking and -encouraging, brilliant in their respective fields, and exceedingly receptive to outside needs. Willing to grab a cup of coffee/tea to talk about academics or life in general. Very open to anything.</li>
</ol>
<p>Skip No. 7 - I do want an “aware” student body that actually cares about what’s going on in the country/world, but I’d rather it be more balanced between moderate liberal and moderate conservative :] = MODERATE, lolololl. But I want enough difference in opinion between students that nice discussions/debates flow freely, make people think about their own beliefs, etc. I just wouldn’t want it SO divided that everyone’s arguing all the time and stuff.</p>
<p>I guess I agree with No. 8, but I don’t think that it’s a requirement of my IDEAL COLLEGE.</p>
