<p>LMAO at Oxbridge having “maids” and students leading a “pampered” life. Students pay $200 per term ($600 per year) for cleaning services which basically means; once a week, someone will come and collect your trash (after you leave it outside your door for them) and once a month, someone will hoover your carpet in your room. That’s pathetic, as usually its students who need the money who ask for these jobs from the colleges and as students, they don’t care and just do terrible jobs on the whole (but there is no other alternative).</p>
<p>In addition, the schools have been so financially constrained, even bathroom cleaning (the bathrooms are communal and are used by all to bathe obviously), are only cleaned once a week whereas they were cleaned every 3 days prior. </p>
<p>You have to remember, Oxford and Cambridge COMBINED have an endowment level which is dwarfed by just one single Ivy - Oxbridge combined has an endowment of $3 billion, the US wipes the floor with Oxbridge frankly.</p>
<p>Given the extra cut in funding they’ve received from the government, their struggling to even keep teachers on board, so I have no idea how you think they have enough money to “pamper” students of any kind :rolleyes:</p>
<p>creacher, you intially seemed to be a Harvard student that has gone bonkers over his acceptance letter and is still a bit overboard. You don’t go to Harvard?</p>
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA I JUST CAN’T STOP LAUGHING.
Great writing.
LOL so much hate…</p>
<p>What happen to Columbia?? I don’t see that being mentioned any where here.</p>
<p>Anyway. I think this “hate” only happens when you are talking about strangers that you absolutely don’t know. If you have a friend that goes to Harvard, and you are a Yale student, do you say that you “hate” him? If you do, then why the hell are you answering my question anyway? The subject is “friend”, not “your hater”. ROFL</p>
<p>Man. I envy being an IVY student. I never got this wonderful discussion for CUNY and SUNY system.</p>
<p>I am not exactly too fond of the Yale inferiority mentality. Recently, during the course of an optional lecture that I attended, the professor spoke of infectious disease researchers at Yale who died due to an inadvertent contraction of the acute viral disease that they had been studying. Of course, as a result of Yale’s commonly perceived subordinate stature, it was great entertainment to the audience (mostly college freshmen) although I personally did not submit to such morbid humor.</p>
<p>I personally find crimson to be a very aesthetically pleasing color, so I prefer Harvard’s designation. I have actually met students who used this criteria to determine where to attend when deciding among equally attractive options.</p>
<p>I don’t know. Tigers are an endangered species and bull dogs go in and out fashion like any other breed of mutt. But, since crimson is a specific frequency of light it will be around as long as physics exists.</p>
<p>Yeah but a bulldog can pee on a crimson-colored carpet and a tiger can shred it up. Perhaps crimson will forever be around as a frequency of light but that’s just weeny.</p>
<p>Its the Harvard Crimson, not the Harvard Crimson Carpets so monstor’s examples don’t apply. And no mere animal is as fast as light, so that doesn’t seem weeny to me. :)</p>
