[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I looked at it, because my kid wants to study glassblowing and engineering and there aren't many schools that offer both.  [/quote]

My brother went there for a bit- drawn to the art/glassblowing program. He enjoyed it, but transferred back to his original LAC for a smaller campus. The campus is pretty and lots of hiking and outdoorsy stuff to do nearby[/quote]

The insistence that that this post isn't a joke is hilarious. First, Southern Illinois University Carbondale? Second, 90% acceptance? Third, someone posting about interest in glassblowing? This is all a joke meant to have DMV parents take the edge off. I do appreciate the commitment to the gag.[/quote]

Sorry not sorry for respecting the arts and odd combinations of majors.  I know lots of people like this in real life:

1) Not a snob
2) Good at more than one thing
3) Unusual hobby 
4) Went to a school that wasn't on my radar

Here on DCUM, I had a great running thread with a mom who sincerely wondered if her daughter could blend a college education with pottery.  The answer is it's possible.

That's why I might take trolls at face value.  Because it's possible and not as hilarious as they think it is.

I guarantee you, somewhere in the world, there is an underwater basket weaver.[/quote]

OK, fine, you're right. There truly are glassblowing engineers and underwater basket weavers. Which, I suppose, is a good thing.[/quote]
