Obviously one is private, the other public. But for someone who wants to get, say, a business degree, how do these types of school differ? Thanks!

I'm applying to Rice University and on the application, they ask me to list other colleges I'm applying to, but it's not a required field. Is it better to list them or to not list them?

Describe the courses of study and the unique characteristics of the University of Pennsylvania that most interest you. Why do these interests make you a good match for Penn?


When I began my college search, I wanted to make sure that I remained detached from the schools I was researching. This would allow me to make objective decisions about where to apply; and, I hoped, ensure the best possible college experience. Now, as I near the end of the application process, I find myself attached to one school: the University of Pennsylvania, at a much deeper level then I would have originally hoped. The reasons for this attachment are many, and are a testament to Penn’s (and in particular Wharton’s) innovative and unique methods.
The first aspect of Wharton that caught my eye was its phenomenal faculty. I have read several books by professors at Wharton and was struck by not only their business acumen, but also the great depth of their thinking and elegant style. By being around this incredible staff, I hope to absorb some of their finesse and manner as well as their knowledge.
While I believe the professors at Wharton, and Penn in general, are the best in the country, it is not impossible to find other universities with comparable staffs. This is why the curriculum at Wharton is perhaps what most defines the program. As a Wharton undergraduate, I will be able to begin taking business classes freshman year. This intertwining of business and liberal arts classes, combined with the great range and flexibility of offered courses, set Wharton apart.
Another feature of Penn that greatly appeals to me is the Jerome Fisher program in management and technology. In addition to business, I have always been interested in computer engineering. The Jerome Fisher program will allow me to not only earn degrees in both areas, but will help me to connect the two fields in an intimate way.
Besides the more tangible reasons for my interest in Penn, there is something about the University that is hard to describe. While I was not able to visit the campus, I picked up a sense of community and purpose from comments made by students and the pictures shown on the website. I believe that I can add to this community in many ways, and ask that the reader(s) consider my application carefully.

"Of the Good in you I can speak, but not of the Evil. For what is Evil but Good-tortured by its own hunger and thirst? When Good is hungry, it seeks food, even in dark caves, and when it thirsts, it drinks even of dead waters."

I love this quote, I just wish I knew what it meant and who quoted it.

btw, if you know a website with other awesome quotes like this, I'd like to know it! [:

My husband and I disagree on teaching our kids to read music. He wants to make a treble staff and teach them that the lines and spaces are a, b, c, etc... I told him I thought that was wrong that he should teach them that a note on the line or space was a, b, c, etc.. Are we both right? I just don't want to teach a kid something wrong that will confuse them in their music lessons in the future. He is all mad at me for saying he was wrong in teaching them this so I want to know if I am wrong so I can go apologize. Yes that's right I'll say I'm sorry for being wrong! lol

I did look it up, rĭth'əm, 2 syllables
Is the other vowel the "t", the "h", or the "m"?
How is this possible?
Are there any similar words with no vowel (a,e,i,o,u,y,w) in a syllable?
