What college to go to???

“Kean University (www.kean.edu) or William Paterson (www.WPUNJ.edu)


I just read that kean as a 65-35 female to male ratio”

“Slippery Rock U”

“Spellcheck Tech.”

“My ex is getting her Masters at William Patterson. She likes it there.”

“I hear Orel Roberts University has a great communications program...Many tounges are spoken.”

“Seriously, icetea, if the high F/M ratio is what you seek check out UNC Chapel Hill. Thr chsool also has an excellent reputation for several diciplines (besides basketball). And, if you get tired of slumming it, you can always drive up the street to Duke University and check out smart AND rich chicks.”

“wow, such high criteria....If it's this tough a decision, try the little things. For example, which school offers the better program for your chosen field of study? Which school are you more comfortable with after meeting some faculty and seeing the campus? Which school is regarded as more prestigous? You know, the minor details....”

“Tea do yourself and whoever is footing the bill a favor and spend the first two years at a community colledge, the credits will transfer over to the pricey schools (usually) and you save a bundle of money in the process.

Picking a school based on male/female ratios is an interesting way to show your priorities....”

“Hey DOM, that's one of the reasons I chose my Alma Matter! It was 3 guys to every girl!”

“Smiley, were you trying to get your MRS degree?”

“No, I wasn't, nor did I end up with one anyway!

My school is one of the best engineering schools in the country. Not to mention that it just all-around rocks!”

“LOL, I just noticed that ratio last night. After many coin toses I may find my self at Willy P”

“Tea, I think a good part of college is having fun, meeting people, and doing some crazy things. But make sure you chose a place that can provide a good education, and don't forget the real reason you are there in the first place. It sucked to see a couple really smart friends get kicked out of college because they forgot why they were there.

Good luck! :)”

“Ice, you mentioned coin tosses. Here's what you do. Heads is Kean, tails is WP. Throw the coin up into the air. What did you invision or hope for, heads or tails? You have your answer.”

“no comment, Artex.”

“Female/Male ration? coin tosses?

Tea, I thought you were a serious young man!

You need to ask yourself... "where can I get the best backpacking?"


I took a year off after high school and, after hitch hiking around the country, chose to go to school in the nicest town I saw, with the best live music (I also wanted a college that was as different as possible from the Ivy league I grew up next to, but which still had courses that could make me think).”

“Educate yourself and save $20,000.”

“Any place but Ohio State.

"Fat drunk and stupid is no way to go through life son."”

“I guess I should have mentioned that there's no need to look at what side of the coin came up for my last suggestion.

Where ever you end up, good luck Tea. Just continue to give it your all.”

“go to the best university that can show you how to become a crook, then you can get into politics since that is something you have mentioned you wanted to do...j/k

Also to help save money for college apply for every scholarship you can find. There is a CD (forgot who it is by) out there that has 1000's of scholarships listed on it and it even has the papers to fill out so you can email them in. You need to do this the last yr of high school. You may get turned down by 98% of them but that 2% may be enough money to get you through a semester.”

“why, Artex? because he probably hopes for both "head(s)" and "tail(s)" equally in college? LMAO!! i kill me. i know, i know...too early in the morning.”

“lol lykra, ya goobah!

GO TO ARKANSAS! GO HOGS!”

“LOL @ lyra! Well, that's part of the fun of college! ;-)”

“I think Oral Roberts Univ. would do Tea some good!”

“hee hee!!”

“Yeah lyra, Tea's going to be the BMOC! look out ladies (or whatever!)”

“"or whatever"?? what else should be watching out? animals? plants? blow-up dolls?”

“If he joins a frat, I think aero meant sheep.”

“Lyra its not nice to be judgemental about tea's preferances.....”

“..the College president's wife?”

“LOL! you're so right, DOM.”

“Come out to Montana Tea! We'll fix you up with a running scholarship and you can get some backing in.”

“Dunadan's advice is best for Ice Tea and retugo!”

“...that's backpacking in..”

“"..the College president's wife?"

Dean Wermer's old lady was HOT! A real wildcat MILF!”

“I loved John Belushi's line, "Seven years of college, down the drain!"”

“If it's politics you're after go to Yale!”

“I don't think it matters where you go Tea. I believe you will excel no matter where you go. I've seen a lot of good changes in you sense you came on here. Your spelling and grammer is much better, you have matured, and do well in getting your point across (all be it a super-ultra-rightwing point LOL!). Good luck no matter where ya go and be sure you have a connection there so you can keep hanging out with us losers.”

“Yeah, Tea, come out to MT. We'll show your sorry NJ arse what real life looks like. Ever watched a branding? Do you know what "nut cheerios" are? We've got alot to offer.”

“So you're in college now. Got it all figured out, huh? Think again, Socrates!

The way I do the math, you're a loser!

You see, after golden time, I'm pulling in 29k at the Simpkins Fiberglass Molding plant. You, however, are paying 20 thousand to sit in your dorm room and get high. You know how much it costs me to high? Nothing. My roommate's a dealer. And he's Jamaican, so you know it's frickin' sweet. Begin to see the difference, Descartes?

And what about beer?

I'm 19 years old. It would be practically impossible for me to score a six pack in a college town without getting carded. But when I go to the Rebel Room with my middle-aged co-workers, nobody blinks an eyelash. So here's a toast - Here's to you and your grape soda, Sophocles. Cheers.

To be fair, life isn't all one big party. What about the pure acquisition of knowledge? That's what your Liberal Arts are supposed to get you, right Plutarch? Well, did you know that fiber composite parts offer the following advantages: high corrosion resistance, tight tolerances, high dielectric strength, high degree of design flexibility, high strength-to-weight ratio, and a better stiffness-to-weight ratio then steel??? No, I bet you didn't, Confucius. Chew on that the next time you swing a golf club with a graphite shaft, or take aim at a table-rolled fiberglass flagstick. In fact, take a look around, Rockefeller. I think you just might be surprised to discover how much fiberglass you'll find at your fancy-boy country club.

Oh sure, I know you think you're going to clear way more than 29k once you get out of college. For the sake of argument, let's say that you will. But who's really coming out ahead? Maybe a simple comparison will make some things clear to you Kierkegaard:

Me:Enjoys the King of Beers - $2.00 a can.

College-Boy:Sips "Chateau Scrueme" at $200 a bottle


Me:Will marry a Hottie from the trailer park whose idea of a lavish vacation is a houseboat in Havasu, and who doesn't mind going "downtown," if you know what I'm saying

College-Boy:Will marry and divorce several whiny, high-maintenance trophy wives who will cuckold you repeatedly with a blue-collar "real" man such as myself.


Me:Can get my engine repaired by my friend Carl the mechanic for the price of parts and a few rounds.

College-Boy:Carl will rape you for $500, then laugh about how he put sugar in your gas tank to make sure you'll be back for more "service."


Me:Will die peacefully in my sleep at 82. I will be survived by my loving wife, 3 children, and some waitresses who know how to keep a secret. At the viewing, many will comment on my magnificent head of hair.

College-Boy:Will die of an aneurysm at 58 - bald, fat and unloved. Whatever money that hasn't been devoured by your ex'es will go to children who barely knew you thanks to your long hours spent manipulating flow charts. RIP, Schopenhauer.

There are a crapload of other factors, too, and I've actually worked out the numbers, and when all is said and done, between my friendship discounts and your lifestyle expenses, I'm making $468,000 more than you over the course of a lifetime, Spinoza!”

“Okay then.”

“don't leave us hangin', newgirl! "nut cheerios"??”

“Honey nut cheerios maybe? Those are pretty good.”

“Honey Nut Cheerios ya mean? They're great but not as good as Fruity Pebbles.

"Be a healthy bee and eat your honey!"”

“It's a very small rubber band put around the nuts of baby bulls that the rancher doesn't want going around doing the females. It cuts off the circulation and they drop off. They are generally put on at branding time.

I think that would be a very educational experience for Tea. Don't you? I even know a couple guys that could hook him up w/ a chance to actually put some nut cheerios on a few calves.”

“Actually, I bet Ice Tea would really enjoy Montana. Ice has grown up in Jersey, I think he'd enjoy living someplace rural for a while and he really enjoys the outdoors. Food for thought?”

“Oh OK newgirl! Now I know what yer talking about. Yeah, I've had to do that before. I lost all feeling and they turned blue in no time flat. Never again!”

“Newgirl, you're going to scare guys away with that kind of talk!”

“Yeah, I seriously agree too Artex. I was just trying to scare the poor lad, w/ some MT talk. LOL!

If it's bping he wants . . . we got it. If it's running he wants . . . Aero can hook the kid up. Not sure what kind of program he wants . . . but we got good schools. Plus, old ranchers are pretty conservative types. He'd love that. Oh . . . and we can breath the air here.”

“I've only backpacked with the kid once, but everything you just outlined newgirl, I think he'd go for. Despite his conservative nature, he's pretty open-minded. I'm curious to hear what he thinks once he reads all of this.”
