[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like the name UMD.. like a med school. Sounds good.[/quote]

Ha! Refreshing thought.

I went to grad school there and didn't particularly like the atmosphere and campus. My undergrad students were nice kids, but they complained about their dorms all the time - I hope the dorms have been overhauled! However UMD offered me the best stipend and I was grateful for that.[/quote]

When I went to UMD we lived off campus in a party friendly house. A total blast!  But now the kids all have granite and stainless apartments … is that really progress? To live in a better dorm than the first house you buy? We need to get back to the hardscrabble character building ..internal toughness hardscape needed for the genius alumni UMD churns out. The inventors and creators of Google, Underarmour, the Universal Price Code, Pulse Doppler Radar, Sirius Satellite Radio, Fortnite, the Hybrid Engine, Creator of Seinfeld, The Wire, The Muppets, FlavorX, the Octane System, Birth control pills, soft contacts, artificial pancreas, broke watergate, linear programming …

I think the coddling sucks.[/quote]

Holy crap. In the 80s we all lived in southern md pg county mold basements in CP. Everybody was happy to be in party central. Nobody had allergies or got sick.[b] What’s happened to the population? Why is everybody allergic, sick and weak immune systems? Something is wrong.[/b]

PP you replied to. Oh no. They were talking about mold. Serious things. [/quote][/quote]
Over sterilization of everything, even the soaps are now anti-bacterial. Lysol wipes.  Over use of antibiotics, both medically and in our food supply.  Our bodies aren't getting a chance to develop stronger immune systems.[/quote]
