With 200 pages on annoying threads, a new member might take one look at this thread and wonder why people keep coming back.
Posts where students describe their latest cheating efforts in detail and ask for help in denying that they cheated. And then a commenter comes in to brag that unlike the other commenters they will not be claiming the moral high ground. I wonder if there is a phrase sort of like “humble brag” to describe boasting about not taking the moral high ground. LOL. I also like the view looking down at the serial cheaters.
The umpteenth “I got a 35 on my ACT (or a 1570 on my SAT) but my writing score isn’t as good as it could be. Should I retake?” Geez people do a little research on the forum and read the million other threads where this was asked and the answer was a loud NO!
How about…I don’t like ANY of my NY state public universities.
Really? None of them?
@thumper1 Except Geneseo and Stony Brook, but I don’t wanna go there.
Oh please, they are still so much better than 99% of Nevada state college systems last tie i checked.
And the endless…ANY OOS college is better than the instate ones in NJ.
Or…
I don’t want to go to college in my home state NJ.
Or…the best.
Rutgers is a stupid name for a college.
When it starts about the awful, I just know it’ll end up about NJ.
Um, are you denying that it is?
Edit: (not actually serious, but I would expect this response on those threads)
“In 1825, Queen’s College was reopened, and its name was changed to “Rutgers College” in honor of American Revolutionary War hero Colonel Henry Rutgers (1745–1830).”
Blame his Dutch ancestry, I suppose. No stupider tban some other college names. At least it can be pronounced.
Leland Stanford Junior University sounds stupid too. So they shortened it.
The ones that insist on holding a point of view I find offensive and wrong. The ones where it’s clear I have such a higher moral code that I can’t wait for them to be closed. The ones where it’s clear the OP is uneducated ‘ist’ and should be ashamed of making their thoughts public.
The ones where posters insist that every NJ kid should have staying in-state as their very top option.
The ones where posters can’t seem to differentiate between when someone says that SOME NJ publics are decent and when someone says no NJ publics are decent. Especially when no reasonable person would actually say the latter.
Rutgers is a dumb name for a flagship. It would be fine if it were used for a directional. And just rename the flagship “NJ State” or something
@STEM2017 So you like taking the moral low ground, lol?
For the recird, official name: Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey.
@mjrube94 Actually, I prefer the Velvet Underground.
Actually, I used to think that Rutgers and Ryder derived HIGHER status from not having “State U” names.
Should still be called NJ State, just sounds a lot better.
Rider is a private U. A rather mediocre one, at that.
Nope, the history isn’t its formation a state u. It was private, wiki the history, I can’t link it.
You want to complain about “William and Mary,” another now public?
@lookingforward not the flagship of its state, so no need to care, really.
