It’s so pointless for anyone to trash UMD. I’m proud to live in a metro area with so many great universities, big and small, private and public.

Plus, many universities—of all sizes, public and private—have programs or researchers or student opportunities that make them special. What is the point of putting down any university? It doesn’t make your degree any more valuable, or your life any more fulfilling. Obviously…

Oh where did you go to school


Oxford university, in England for my BA and Cambridge for my MA.



Always a troll.


Definitely a troll. My sister went to Cambridge and always calls it an MPhil, per their terminology. No one who actually went to those schools would use the wrong terminology for the degree.


I adapted my terminology specifically for dumb Americans.

It is pretty basic OP, but more of us went to state schools than private. And who really cares? It didn't hold back Connie C. to go to a basic place.

Why do I get the feeling you haven't bothered to investigate the alumni accomplishments of every other school in the mid-Atlantic region in an objective manner?

A lot of those people were at UMD 20 years after Chung, and after the Letterman interview, and/or didn't go to UMD for undergrad. You'll need to dig further into history

lol

The guy who created UA is most certainly not a genius. Far from it. He hustled his way to success (after being tossed out of Prep).


lol

What about the other world dominating creations that UVA falls short of ?
