    You also have the right to listen to other people, and decide if your opinions are right, need modifying, or ditching completely.

    What's the point of uni Fez if you already know it? Expect to find a wider vareity of people - that's what real life is all about.

    I'm thankful for the simple things - clean water, a decent chance at a healthy life, and the opportunities I have. Especially to study and improve myself.

        I'm thankful for being in America, where I can commit all of the seven sins every single day without getting shot.

          I've heard good things about Canadian schools though and best of all they are more affordable then most schools in the US.

            That is what I got for going to a high school with 40 different nationalities. I knew different people... in fact many more different people... more than I would ever know if I went to a public school in the US.

            For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)

                You know, they say that at most colleges girls outnumber men by quite a bit.

                    No; that would make the college have about 200% of its students.

                      My undergrad education cost ~1500 $US a year (not a semester) and was the equivalent of most US private school undergrads...

                      IIRC it was something like 5000$US a year for a noncanadian...

                          No, several people seem to be under that impression, despite my denying it on several occasions and referring to my thesis on several others. But students here seem to call everyone who teaches them "professor" (which I don't like - I have them use my first name) so I'm not sure what they think (not all lecturers are professors in NZ - it is a particularly exalted rank).

                          I'm in my last year here in a combined Classics/Philosophy PhD programme. I've been teaching for seven years now (groan...), four here.

                          When did you get your PhD?
                          I'll be finished next year - if I can pull finger and spend less time on the net. If I do I'll change my name to Dr Agathon.

                              In physics depts. all teachers are PhDs. Almost all are profs, though on occasion you'll get the odd postdoc teaching.

                                10 grand for a foreign PhD student. But hell, ask the University of Toronto Fellowship fund about that.

                                Where'd you do your stuff KH? Western? McGill?
