You're wrong and probably a liar.

"The November 6th 2012 election results passing the legal sale of beer and wine for off premise consumption. The first time any retail alcohol has been legally sold in Tyler since before prohibition. Beer and Wine first hit shelves December 28, 2012 just in time for the New Year, 52 days after the measure passed."

It's a great place to party. Swamped with tall, blonde, and dumb UT chicks looking to get drunk and have a fun time.

actually this conversation has reminded me. the comedian rich hall did a great documentary on texas only like 2 weeks ago. about the texan spirit. made the place seem perfectly charming. but not the sort of place any 21st century person would really want to live.



enjoy. 1:30hr of greatness. rich hall is a pretty astute film critic, too.

UT is a huge university. Do you think all 50,000 students are brilliant?

american large state colleges are really misleading. they're really well ranked, but that's mostly because of size+research output. they necessarily HAVE to be high-ranked, they've just got so much research and money to throw around. i can vaguely remember what the 'r1' colleges are in the states, just from my own research... what i don't remember is how bunk the american system is on admissions. UT at austin: 40% acceptance rate. ok you're probably right. highly ranked school, but not exactly selective.

see in the UK all 'highly ranked' research universities are like 5-15% admission. i get thrown off. i'll take your word for it.

85% of the rankings metric is based on the postgrad/staff research, anyway. just in the uk they're kind of synonymous, because of how a much smaller number (say the equiv of the ivy league and little ivies) dominate everything. but over there you do have huge schools with massive intakes. hence higher admission rates and hence blonde sorority girls that would make ted bundy blush.

go watch 15 mins of that rich hall link. it's good.

take it to the college thread

U of L seems to be a pretty good system. Highly specific research focus' and what not. It's funny of LSE is a top econ uni but doesn't even make it that great in university "rankings." I guess being specialized gets you shot in the foot in rankings.

With state school systems they make it easier for in state students to get in as well. I had friends get into UC irvine with only 1600s SATs because they're california residents but out of state/intl students get around 1800.

The acceptence rate isnt really accurate. You can be a shitty school with a great marketing team and reject 99% of applicants and be omg top 1% of students accepted. Harvard has a high rejection rate because tons of people apply, even though they have 0 chance of making it. People applying to gerat state schools generally know they can get in.

Colleges should get rid of communications degree. wtf is that shit.

They passed it through the senate.  It's official and my thread title is no longer incorrect!

GO TEXAS!

Old men telling women in their prime what to do with their bodies.

I'm not surprised Texas is still waiting to evolve into the 21st century.

So called 'freedom', lol.

in what academic world is 'international business' more reputed or rigorous than communications? you derpsicle

at least it gets me a jerb in the "field." at least I'm not putting all my eggs in one basket.

all your eggs in one basket? communications is known to be one of the most flexible degrees. also the stereotype about 'media studies' being unemployable is about 10 years out of date, in the UK now, anyway. didn't someone on this forum before state that communications majors all want to become tv news anchors? rofl.

and yeah of course international business will get you a job. but often times it's the business-students and 'management' types on campus that are looked down upon the most, as doing the least academically 'demanding' subject. at least definitely the case in uk universities, anyway. and, no surprises, 80% of them are normally international/asian students.

i'm sure your life is fine, but i just don't get why you look down on communications studies as a junk degree. business studies is hardly the beating heart of the university, either.
