From what little I am aware of you, you do not personally have military experience. If I was to guess, one of your parents was killed while actively serving in the military. Is this true or is there another reason they are paying for your college?

Congratulations BTW. May you study well and make your parents proud.

UW Madison is superior in most ways anyways(IE sports, duh 😛)

I just checked and their overall rankings on USN(even though they are BS rankings) is almost the same (WA 41 WI45)

I have no idea how they come to those stupid ranking decisions.

College rankings vary widely...and most of the time are pointless to look at. At any university, what matters is not how well-ranked a school is, but what you make of your education.

The ugly's go to Wazzu. UW is an incredible school, lots of Microsoft money ends up there.

Congrats! Go Dawgs!

It's still a good school though. It's definitely one of the best public institutions. If I was going for med or dental school then it would be much more impressive. 😛

Yeah, but Wisconsin is not known as "U Dub" is it?

Mu Understanding is that the one in Seattle is so referred to in order to distinguish it from University of Washington in St. Louis, and from UW in Madison.

:hmm:

as far as U of Wisoncin goes--yes, it's a great party school and has some excellent, excellent departments depending on your field...but you still have to live in Wisconsin.
 
I've been wanting to ask this question for awhile, this thread seems as good as any to do so.

Why do a lot of ATOT'ers like to give TridenT so much shit?

That is all, someone please satisfy my curiosity, thank you.

While we're at it, why does TT continue to post given the ammount of crap he gets.

the only way to explain it is to start researching some of his threads, and maybe someone will post the TridenT scroll here (mark my words--in 2 months we will get a TridenT thread where he complains about how shitty school is, how nothing is ever up to his standards, and everything at the University is failing him.)

It's not so much that he complains about everything, it's that he continues to do so and wantonly criticize everyone who offers very legitimate council in his countless emo threads. He does nothing but complain and refuse to do anything about making his life less shitty, as he so sees it.

most of us assume he is pure troll.
