<p>When I mention bare requirement, I mean course requirements and a diploma...</p>
<p>I agree with you there, it's a huge band aid, and nothing more, but what are we going to do if our money's not going in the right direction?<br>
I don't have any confidence that Schwarzenegger's going to lift California's public schools out of the hole, and I don't see Massachusetts going anywhere but 47th in higher education the way things are going, UMass Boston is in such debt that they currently have no campus housing and no money to build any. But that's okay cause we're #1 in baseball and#1 in football :rolls eyes: I'd rather have a bandaid there than an open wound.</p>
<p>Both my parents ended up working at Stanford after graduating, my dad was a director of finances in the quad, Dr. Condaleezza Rice was provost at the time, and my mom worked at Stanford hospital. I was born at Stanford hospital, got lost all over campus, opened random doors of lecture halls while classes were in session, but they got used to me, I was 7 :) Jamba Juice knew me on a first name basis since that's where all my money went. I love Stanford...then the had to move me out here to ashville outside of Boston in the winter. 7 inches of snow hit us before we could even unpack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So yeah Stanford is the end all be all to me, and I'd do anything to go back, this time, I'd need to be accepted. No free kids pass into the quad :(</p>
