Education & Reference - 2 December 2007

I know that I should be involved in extra curricular activities, and my test scores should be really good, but is there anything else I am really missing. (or even the little things) i really want to get into NYU, but I am just a little concerned about what they expect from me as a student. (besides being motivated, and hard working)

In high school, you can take the same test at a later date. In college, do you have that opportunity? Or is it just that if you're absent on that day, you missed the test and flunked the class?

For example:
Sly as a fox
Smart as a whip
Dead as a doornail

"Now, I know that we can all run to the internet and look these up, but I'm just looking for the ones that you can think of right off the top of your head."
I think this might be interesting because the other English speaking countries might have some sayings that we are not familiar with and being from the Southern part of the USA, I am quite sure that we have some strange ones that folks in other parts the USA never even imagined existed.

My basic thought today, "Dead as a doornail" brought this question to life. I never saw a "live" doornail much less a "dead one."
And let's face it folks, the English language has to be a "real horror", for those having to learn it as a second language.

Because on University Challenge, they were saying something that was not how it is phonetically spelt. Like maudlin or something?

Why is that?

(& on a side note, is it a boys-only college?)

I'm applying to colleges, and I'm torn between Harvard and UChicago. I love both (I went to Harvard Summer School), but they're very different from each other - Harvard has the name and prestige, and UChicago has a very close and welcoming community; both have the academic rigor I'm looking for.

I'm wondering what other people's thoughts are - is it more important to have the name for when you graduate, or the experience while you're there with a lesser known college?
