Oh my God, die, die and burn in hell "dr,t". Better yet, send me $1000 and I promise you'll start receiving money in the mail.

Blue Pepsi sucks ass. this will be my first weekend with no test prep since the first weekend in September.

This weekend already sucks ass.

man, Fresno State got the shit beat out of them.

it's amazing how many different ways people can say, "whatever i like/wherever i go/whatever i do is bad ass, and whatever you like/wherever you go/whatever you do sucks balls." i can't say it's not entertaining, though.

Why? Are you that much older, or have you started needing to bend over to see your own wang?? The latter just means you need to get your fat ass to the gym.

Does your penis really get smaller as you get older, or is this just a bad rumor?

Everyone is going to be slightly biased about which school has the best program because, after all, it is the one that person chose.
That being said, while A&M and UT have larger engineering progams, they aren't superior in every field of study. I chose the school with the best DSP program in Texas, where I got the opportunity to work on a project that was patented by NASA. When I was making my decision about college, potential future employers told me that the A&M program was too much theory with not enough application, but then again I was making my inquiries in Austin. I honestly never considered Tech for EE because I personally could never live in Lubbock.
Sorry...my two cents.

Chivas:

Complex? I don't think so. I'm just stating facts.
And for the record, I have worked outside of Texas. I co-oped at Kimberly-Clark in Wisconsin, and if that's not out of state, I don't know what is. And the career fairs at Tech have many companies from out of state. Please don't try to flame about something you know NOTHING about.

I can flame the programs at UT and A&M because I am familiar with them. I evaluated programs at Tech, A&M, UT, and Rice when I was choosing a school. Tech EE has the superior program by far, except for maybe Rice. Honestly, my first choice was Rice, but I wasn't accepted. I'm not trying to impress by saying I could've gone to UT or A&M, just stating that I could have. I am sure there are many people at Tech who couldn't have gotten in there, though.

Yeah, but where does you being a moron fit into the equation, Guy?

:).

Being an Architecture major, I understand the literally living in Studio. I think they should have a dorm attached to all Architecture schools so we would only have to see daylight to see football and visit job sites.

RANT ABOUT TECH ARCH SCHOOL
The Arch. Program at LCC sucks donkey balls.
3 Year Bachelor's Degree with +1 Year for the Masters degree. NO freaking way is that enough time to learn all that you need to know.

We have one guy in our firm that came out of the master's program at Tech. Typical time of internship before the licensing process is 3 years. This Tech guy will be interning for at least 5 years before he will even know the difference between his head and his ass. The "accelerated" program and "upper level thinking" is a bunch of bullshit. You want a real education, you earn the 5 year bachelors from OU, OSU, UTA, or UT then you earn the additional 2 year Master's. Hell even A&M has gone to the "4 Year Bachelor's of Science in Environmental Design" you can't even get licensed that way. State of Texas & Oklahoma requires either 5 year professional B.S. in Arch. from an Accredited school or a 4 Year non-professional degree WITH a 1 or 2 year Master's degree + IDP (Intern Development Program) credit hours just to start the Licensing process. Yeah the LCC program is a cheap rip off to get around the rules. Damn sneaky bastards. Anyways, enough ranting for one night.

Gotta finish a paper in Organizational Behavior.

(just for Wheatables so he doesn't get his panties in a twist about 'fact stealing')

Hmmm, funny...but the LCC student is the only one blabbering on about how superior his program is compared to A&M/UT. Sorry, but if you ever plan on venturing outside of Texas, an EE degree from UT or A&M will be much more recognizable than an EE degree from Texas Tech.

JD, good luck with that glaring inferiority complex you have. Of course you could have gone to A&M or UT. Of course, of course.

Philosophy is the perfect major for people with finely crafted bullshitting techniques, such as myself. I took an ethics class last year, went to MAYBE 4 lectures and still got an A because our entire grade was based on 3 papers. However, those logic philosophy classes are a pain in the ass, from what I hear.

Anthropology and sociology classes are good to take if you need a class that you don't actually have to attend.

You want a good major? Pick English. You don't have to know anything. Every class hinges on your ability to bullshit. The only downside? Parlin Hall has a funky odor and there are quite a few fellow English majors that don't fully believe in personal hygiene.

Once you make it past 318J, advertising is the shit. However, making it past 318J is hell on earth. That, and I often feel like I'm the lone non-Greek in the College of Communication... I know that's a massive generalization, but seriously--how many different shirts could these people own? And I thought I had a lot of t-shirts...

It's good to be a business major. Other than that shitty LDCI sequence (BA 101 and 102), it rocks.

Yeah JD put them in their place!!!

Josh:

Until you see the program that the EE's have at Tech, I don't want to hear a thing. I could have gone to A&M or UT if I wanted, but I chose Tech because of the way their EE program works, and how superior it is.

Aside from all other classes, labs, and work you have going on, every EE at Tech goes through 5 project labs. These start the second semester of your sophomore year, and then each sem. till you graduate. In this program, you work on a project in a group and that group presents a 30 minute presentation every week explaining their progress, problems, etc... Aside from giving this presentation and listening to the others in your class, you're expected to spend 20 hrs/week outside of class working on the project. Like I said, you have to go through five of these... it's like a "senior design" every semester starting your sophomore year.
But you know what? Companies realize that and consider our hands on experience to be the best in the state. Yes, BEST, better than both UT and A&M.

I'm in my final lab now, and we're working on some projects that UT "couldn't handle", according to the department of defense.

Oh, and back to the hiring thing... a funny thing about ag's. I spoke with 5 recruiters from different companies who said they refuse to return to recruit at A&M because the candidates didn't have the communication skills to make it through an interview!

So, don't brag about tier1. USNews doesn't know jack. or Tech Project Lab.

hmmm...being in the music building most of my day, i see a few girls. most of which would require many, many cervezas to look semi-attractive.

Never argue with an Aggie...you just get dumber and the Aggie calls it a tradition.

No, Fasion Retail classes are the shit. My friend and I took that last semester; 36 girls, and us 2. And the class was only half a semester long but counted for 3 hours. It was the shit.

I was a psychology major at A&M. 85% of psych majors are females. Psychology classes are the shit.

Oh Ashley, it just get's better. For our senior design lab, we would routinely show up and hour or two early, go through our scheduled "class time", and stay an hour or two later. 6 straight hours of hexadecimal programming and C++ will drive you insane, especially when the next day and week you just repeat the procedure.

Damn, I could not sit through 4 hours of anything. I have enough trouble with TTh classes, and those are only an hour and fifteen minutes.
