I'm thinking of going to U Penn, I've looked at their website but I'd like to hear from people who go/went there. (especially about Wharton business school). Are there sororities? What are the U Penn people's reputations? Is Philadelphia nice? Is there good nightlife there?

Currently doing postgrad at Melbourne Uni and am looking for Berkeley (Cal) students/alumni to share in the venerable tradition of watching college football. Problem is, I have no clue where to watch a game (usually Sunday morning in Australia). Any suggestions?

I want two minors, because I think they will compliment my degree nicely with the field I plan to go into. I understand I would need to take additional credit hours, thats no problem.

i'm a freshman at an international school in shanghai. but everything taught is american. i made varsity rugby and my parents think that after school sports are a complete waste of time because it doesn't count as credits. i'm trying to tell them that being on a sports team will help me get into a good college, especially if i do the same sport for four years because that shows dedication. i have excellent grades and always get a+'s sometimes b+'s. there's a huge tournament happening in hong kong and our team was selected to attend it. but my parents think that i'm justing going for the fun of it. i don't think they understand how important being on varsity is seeing as neither one of them ever did sports in high school. so can someone help me think of something to say to them that will persuade them that being on the rugby team will help me get into a good college or help me think of something to say so that i can go to hong kong for the tournament?

I went to jr college and graduated with a nursing degree. I paid my books and tuition every semester and drove to the local jr college. I never had any loans. Welfare paid for my books and a babysitter because I was a single mother.
A girl I work with says she has $40 thousand dollars in student loans to pay off and expects to have 90K in loans when she graduates. She had a scholarship that paid for her tuition and she still lives at home. What did she spend 40K on? Am I old fashioned or is that excessive?

He is a good kid. He was 19 when he graduated high school. He was a B student and wasnt really into sports or academics, so we just rolled with the flow.
He finally decided to go to college in building and construction. He did really well in building and trades and actually took 4 yrs of it in high school. He got awards and did work on the side for his teacher at his house.
Now he works full time at a department store and lives on his own with a girl. I think if I did not pay his tuition, he just would not go to college because he could not afford it, so I write the checks and off he goes to school 3 nites a week.
I never see a report card or any grade reports, but I assume he is doing good.
Should I pay his tuition or make him do it on his own?

"Discuss the characterisation of the two couples in Ken Duncum's 'Cherish' and how each character contributes to your interpretation of the meaning of the play. Relate your discussion to the course theme of cultural encounters.

*Cherish is the name of the play we have been reading.
I basically want to understand the characterisation part a little clearer and any ideas on how to approach this one are welcome. Its an essay for a second year Bachelor of Arts Theatre paper. Thanks!

Students use the net to organise a little surpise.

On one day as a whole in assembly...

ALL the students in all learns get up and demand dutch style teach EVERYTHING sex ed.

Outnumbering what would the odds be say 1000 to 20? the teachers and in all schools on the same day so the riot police are somewhat outnumbered.

Oh and orgnanised so they are taught about the terroist hostage tactic of picking on one or two to scare the rest.

So expelling a ring leader would not help as the other 1000 wouls support them and as one goes down all else replace them
