It's wonderful for folks on a tight budget to have a place to go. |
U. Va - famous buildings on National Register of Historic Places:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rotunda_(University_of_Virginia) U. Md - slobs rioting in the midst of ugly strip malls: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1o9krzgiV5A You can have Larry David and bar codes. |

Virginia is for murdering students. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSrAgr66FLc&feature=related |
Umd....beautiful, superior morally (first to integrate the ACC)....Superior in graduates results (more pulitzers, nobels, contributions to society)...superior athletically (37 national championships),,,AND as a bonus you have a better chance of surviving college alive! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iy2a91IiXa4&feature=related |
You forgot google,seinfeld,curb your enthusiam. the wire, watergate. the muppets, the octane system, pulse doppler radar, boondocks, linear programming, under armour, frequent flyer programs,sirius satellite, insulin pumps, implanted defibulators, artificial pancreas, nautica, jumbotrons, more nobels, more pulitzers, more academy awards, more national championships, higher acedemic rankings in any subject that requires math, science or analytical skills, superior morality in integrating far earlier , located in a town with fewer incidents of violent crime. AND...our students are less likely to murder fellow students.....congratulations you lose...just like the Uva mens soccer, womens soccer, field hockey and football teams who allgot their ass kicked by their future employers Umd students!!!! |
I don't have a dog in this fight. I went to USNA and my daughter goes to Johns Hopkins. But I must admit the Umd booster is cleaning your clocks. The Va people should really stop calling Uva "an academic village". It is laughable, only Harvard, MIT, or Princeton should say that and they have the character and mental self assurance not to. Something is wrong in Virginia. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/11/12/AR2010111202853.html |
I for one would like my child to go where they will be happy and surrounded by optimistic, fun, smart people who have big dreams.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWlC9ICFWK8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VAQ6mgvU4E&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3bsjef3E2k&feature=related |
Couldn't possibly be more generic "state U" crap - like 50 commercials during ACC games strung together. Yawn. Yeah, we'll let the Marylanders "clean our clocks." And, most likely, our yards, too. |
We would be happy to start a contracting company to clean grounds and landscape the prisons, cemeteries, and mental institutions that house so many of the unfortunate Virginia students. It would probably be a very lucrative contract. |
It's striking how much the UMDers think that money and pop culture are the most important indicators of a good college education. |
