One of my best friends here at college needs help. He owes his next payment of $5,000 to the college by the end of this month (March), or he can't complete the semester and will have to drop out. We're praying that we can get enough money to keep him here in college. He's a biochemistry major, and I don't want to see him lose his dreams.
Any ideas on how to get this money?

Does anyone have any experience with leaving a PhD program with a masters? I would be leaving of my own volition because I feel like maybe I would be happier in a different setting- not asked to leave. Assuming I want some sort of career in academia, and to further pursue a PhD, how damaging is it to leave with a masters? In reapplying for a PhD program would I be limited in the caliber of programs that would accept me?

Which should I do to get the most college credit/hours and what is a semester hour because dual credit courses offered at my school cost $50 per semester hour and I do not know what that is. Also, will prestigious colleges in state accept dual credit courses taken during high school for example UT, Texas A&M, Baylor,etc.? Thanks I am very confused about all of this and I have to register for classes for next year pretty soon. I will be a junior next year.

Today in science class we learned that if you put a wet cloth soked in viniger on your arm or sliced a potatoe and put it on your arm then it would weaken the bone? Is that true? That was the fun fact for the day and a little gross. If this is true then WHY? and would your bone stay weak forever? If any one knows the scientific reason why then please tell why.

I have a list of names that I need to alphabetize (by last name). Here's a partial sample:

Joe Smith
Rad Šlégl
Lloyd Källberg
Larry Kalibur

The problem is that the letters used in these names come from different alphabets, so it's not clear which letter comes before which.

Does anybody know if there's a precedence list of all characters in all alphabets?

do you think it's better to go to a prestigious school, even if it means filling up your high school schedule with hard classes, and trying to excel in extra-curricular activities...


.......or do you think it's better to go to an pretty good school (aka 60%+ acceptance rate), do well, and have a more relaxed high school life?

right now i'm on the prestige track..but i'm experiencing burnout or something and I really don't feel up for doing homework all my life for the next two years. I mean, are prestigious schools REALLY that important?

I know people who are on both ends of the spectrum- some who are on that track and are definitely not veering off, and some who just live each day as it is (but they still are successful, if that makes any sense).

any thoughts?
