Because you calling my post “trollish” and “unthinking” and telling me to “take a class on logic” isn’t patronizing? You are a gold mine of contradictions. None of us post on here to attack any institution… in fact, we’re writing because we DO like the school. Your “advice” (join a monastery) is far from helpful and, like Tyler said, your holy-than-thou attitude is only further confirming fears about the pretentious vibe some (key word: some… no one ever said it is a campus-wide attitude) give off. It’s people like you that put bad tastes in the mouths of prospective students… I think everyone would appreciate it if you laid off on the admissions advice for awhile. And by awhile, I mean as long as your abrasive attitude remains.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, thank you senator noodles!!
