<p>I have not - though I am looking into taking her “Mind” course next year. (There are so many excellent professors at the U. of C. that I would be happy to live and study here the rest of my life.)</p>

<p>Thank you for the suggestion. I will look into it.</p>

<p>Katharos - maybe you /could/. Have you ever heard of the professional student that takes out loan after loan (apparently, you do not pay them until you graduate) and enrolls in classes for years? </p>

<p>Or is that just a urban legend?</p>

<p>Google has failed me… Wikipedia has not. =P Hmm.</p>

<p>“Professional student” is a slang term commonly used in colleges to describe a student who stays in school for many years rather than embarking on a career. To avoid these types, some four-year colleges have imposed limits on the length of time students can be enrolled in order to open up their limited slots to new students. </p>

<p>i love your post pip-pip</p>

<p>Bring up my post so I can read how others agree with how wonderful pip^2’s post is</p>

<p>My son is an academic groupie – he stood in line to get UC Philosophy prof Jonathan Lear to sign his copy of Love and Its Place In Nature. Freud has a possee, people, and my son’s the gangleader. <em>laugh</em></p>

<p>Oh, everyone here is so passionate about what they do/learn about. I love it. I would say you guys are “smart” and “nerdy” but unfortunately my public high school experiences have warped that image to quite an ugly figure, so I’ll just stick with “passionate” for now.</p>

<p>Do the “musical nerds” find a good niche for themselves at U of C?</p>

30

<p>i’ve heard there’s an obscenely small amount of music majors at the u of c. still, there are plenty of musicians - most of them minor in it and join an ensemble group of some kind.</p>

<br>

<p>Do you have any idea why is that so?</p>

32

<p>they’re not really famous for their music department…</p>

<p>UofC=intense people. Intense does not mean successful.</p>

34

<p>Nor does it mean unsuccessful. Success is of course a subjective thing. Finding a new insight into the Iliad after years of intensive study could bring a wonderful feeling of success for that $70,000 per year professor.</p>

<p>come on slipper! We KNOW you love Dartmouth, but I’ll bet there aren’t very many U of C students on the Dartmouth forums making snide remarks.</p>
