    I wonder why there isn't "Chicagonium". Too hard to pronounce? I mean, the first sustained atomic reaction did take place under our football field...

      Not in this state. It has to do with the focus of the university as explained by myself and others.

            I remember one of my professors going over this in college and it was some interesting stuff.

                    This from a guy who can't even spell it correctly. Just saying.

                    BTW all the groups which publish rankings say you are wrong. Or at least all of them which matter do.

                      Pay for books? Here you are expected to use your lectures and library books to study. There are also "method books" that provide the overall structure of the course, but they aren't expensive.

                          Yeah, you guys haven't been capitalist long enough for the book industry to work its way into your universities. Here you're required often to buy ~$100 worth of books per class... and it's because the professors are the authors (not necessarily of your books, though often) that they help keep this system alive. They also 'revise' them (mostly by changing the examples around, or putting the after-chapter questions in a different order) every couple of years so used books are as limited in value as possible.

                            I applied to CMU, RIT, GaTech and RPI. Got into all but Georgia Tech ().

                              Consider applying to something away from the east coast?? There are good schools that aren't in the east, you know...
