<p>You decided to go for ED to Cornell and not even thing of HYP because you wanted REAL people!!!!!</p>

<p>What is HYP?</p>

<p>HYP = Harvard Yale Princeton</p>

<p>What IS a prelim? I surmise it is some type of test and I notice it is a word getting thrown around a lot as if it is something worse than George Bush's presidency.</p>

<p>prelims are any kind of tests that arent midterms or finals. it took me a while to understand the concept because we architects dont have prelims :) its basically similiar to a gigantic unit test in high school</p>

<p>-you consider your daily workout to include hiking up that giant hill from the footbridge to the ag quad
-watching people slip and fall on the icy sidewalks is so entertaining...until karma hits and it happens to you</p>

<p>hahah i like your post laurstar</p>

<p>Actually, prelims are any tests that aren't finals. (ie prelim is just another word for midterm).</p>

<p>lol laur I've definitely faked conversations with friends a few feet away from a slippery part of a hill just to bet on who will fall and then laugh when they do but then look shocked when they look at you all embrassed. hahaha</p>

<p>sounds fun...</p>

<p>we were all in rand one afternoon watching people fall for a good 30 minutes...great front row seats...got it all on camera ;)</p>

<p>-when its 8 or 9 in the morning, while you are walking to central campus for class, you see zombie architects walking in the opposite direction to go home after an all nighter
-its 50 degrees and people talk about wearing summer clothes</p>
