Who gives a shit about UT?
They have a whole university dedicated to sodomy.

I thought you were a big fan of UT, no? Isn't Austin the wannabe Berkeley of the South?

"Cornell, which costs $60,000 a year, is good value for students’ money, even with the changes to financial-aid," said Barbara Knuth, vice provost and dean of the graduate school.
“I don’t see that as problematic in the context of providing access to an Ivy League education,” Knuth said.

Hey! It's a killer deal if you want your bright-seeming kids to show up back home with the blank stares of Obamaphilia.

Ithaca is not bad, though it tends to be rather cold up there, even in May. Haven't been there since the mid-90s. Have you?

Ithaca is not bad at all. It's that Ivy Idiocracy that is monstrously overvalued.

Been there, you-know-when. Ithaca sucks like hell. Nothing to do there except get drunk as hell and all the bars suck too. We ate and drank in.

Also, the university was boring to me. Boring non-pde, non-geom.
Bethe has been gone for a long time, and all that's left there is a shitload of condensed matter physics retards.

Must be ok for CDers, if you don't feel like you're in Zimbabwe there.

The gorge is nice, but so what? I am not a rock-climber. Also, I failed to find a decent steakhouse while there, and Cornell is the Ivies' Texas A & M, i.e. the agriculture university.

I liked Princeton a lot better. There, I could pretend to be Newton in his exile. In Ithaca, all I had was Gulag for Mama Kerry, updated.

Her Rott, Herr Rott, you're hard to please, that's your problem. The lake there and the gorges do look beautiful. And who cares about how the bars look -- they're all the same, aren't they?

One of my most Progressive Obama Lovin' students is earning a degree in Industrial Labor Relations there, and he just loves the shit out of it. Says every current penny will be worth it when the Future gets Radiant enough..
...so, how do you like Dem apples, Newton boy?

The Ithaca Gorges are very convenient as a quick solution to Despair. A quick flight to your own private Palau.

Mr roT said...

AA, your most Progressive Obama Lovin' student is headed to cornhole or prickton?

The Ithaca Gorges are very convenient as a quick solution to Ithaca bars. A quick flight to your own private North End.

Arelcao Akleos said...

The Progressive is into the Cornhole.
Have not yet had a student go to Prickton, although Hatetard, Bruno, You Painville, Yield, and that place Tecumseh once knew, Garfunkelia was it?, all now have the chance to enstupidify former students of mine.
I still hold hope for the one who is at Feynman's Cambridge.

UK?

MIT

It would be a shame if that hallowed ground were desecrated any more.
