Smaltz:



Here’s what I was talking about: University of York libraries - Library, The University of York

Really makes you want to wander into a pub and have a couple pints while arguing about Heraclitus, doesn’t it?? It doesn’t?



It’s not so bad…it’s utilitarian, but that’s the trend, certainly in the States.

Sistokid:

I don’t know if that’s right 50/50 dorm-residents/commuters. There are definitely a decent amount of commuters because they’re poor and need to commute, but most of the frosh are housed in dorms. They can also move out to apts which surround the campus, mainly on the west side because the east is mainly upscale houses. In other words it’s not one or the other dorms/commuters. Yeah, I agree, a car is highly useful in LA. Most dormers don’t have them frosh year. Many seek independence and move into apts and bring cars after frosh year.

ViterbiStudent:

Where are the Asian students? This is relevant to the OP. It looks like a bunch of white kids got together to do public relations for the University.

Are you going to tell me this is the racial mix of the engineering school? USC has > 10,000 foreign students and the vast majority of them come from Asian countries.
