Q: University>???????????
i am going off to a prestige university on the east coast this fall (brown) and i am a virgin waiting for marriage. My best friend ever is also coming with me (known him since 7th, kinda have a sorta kinda crush on him) but anyways, i was wondering, is there a lot of guys pressuring girls to have sex etc? i mean i want to find a relationship that can last! in college is that possible? thanks to the first answerer i know schooling will be my biggest concern thanks :) i dont drink either i think that my friend will hopefully stop me from doing something i may regret, but i should be able to control myself also

A: Guys are guys, and unless they are also waiting until marriage, they are going to try certain things. You don't have to say yes. And if you're open and honest in the relationship, telling him *why* you're saying no, then he can choose to stay with you if he has hopes for more than just sex with you, or he can leave, if he doesn't want the same things that you want. And there will be guys waiting, or who are willing to wait on sex with you in particular. If you're doing this for religious reasons, you can meet people with similar values via religious-based clubs at Brown. It's certainly possible to make relationships that last in college. In fact, I met my husband there, 1000 years ago, and we're still together. A *lot* of people get into long-term relationships in college.

Q: What is the difference between a univeristy system and a state university system?
Many states have a university system and a state university system. For example, University of California and California State University. University of North Carolina and NC State. OU and OSU. I understand that they are two different systems. But what distinguishes the two? Is there a distinguishing factor other than that they are simply administered under separate jurisdictions? Even though the University of [State] system is usually larger, that is not always the case. Do all of the University of [State] systems have something in common, and do all the State University systems have something in common?

A: i belive state schools r funded by tha state through taxes... tha rest r private and r usually higher in rates

Q: What university is good to attend if you are seeking to obtain a psychiatry degree?
Okay, my first choices for undergraduate are: Princeton UCLA Duke NYU Boston University And my choices for Graduate are: Johns Hopkins UCLA Are these good universities or do I need to change them? Any advice? Thank you! Yeah, yea dawg, I'm a freshman in high school, and Princeton has been my dream since I was 5. So, yeah, I think I have a shot. PS: I'm #8 in my class with a GPA of 4.1 and an IQ of 128. What now, bitches???

A: These are good choices. Just score high on SAT and have a GPA higher than 4.3 if you want to compete well. They don't care about your IQ unless you're in MENSA (like me). And as for Princeton, you'll either need to be filthy rich or distinguish yourself like submitting an academic paper in a journal, winning lots of awards, etc.

Q: What do prospective university students look in a university?
We all have alot of colleges to choose from, when we are trying to go back to school and I just want to see what exactly it is that people look for in universities and what do they expect to get from the university they finally choose to attend.

A: Since people are different, this is quite individual. Some people want a large party school and some want a small school with an intellectual atmosphere. Some even think that a winning sports program is the key to choosing a college. For many it is 'fit'. Does this campus feel right to me. Come up with your own criteria. Does it have good academics in a range of areas (this will make for intellectual diversity on campus)? Is it liberal arts or career/pre-professional? Does it have diversity? Do I like the students (conservative, liberal, religious, rich, . . . ) Then start looking at colleges.

Q: What university in Korea has a good Korean Language Program for foreigners?
I need to improve my speaking skills in Korean. I'd like to go to Korea for 1-3 months and enroll in a Korean language program at a university there. I'd like to know of some universities with good Korean language programs for foreigners and which would be the best for improving speaking skills. Thanks!

A: Yonsei university is the WORST program if you want to speak well and possibly the best for writing. They have a whole different approach than the other universities. Sogang has a good reputation for emphasizing speaking and Seoul National University is the most prestigious university overall in all of Korea. Here are some threads where other foreigners have expressed their opinion: http://forums.eslcafe.com/korea/viewtopic.php?t=5009 http://forums.eslcafe.com/korea/viewtopic.php?p=1765308 As you can see most people had negative things to say about Yonsei. Here is SNU's site: http://lei.snu.ac.kr/english/pages/SD00009_00.jsp Here is Sogang's site: http://klec.sogang.ac.kr/ Say no to Yonsei unless you just want a fun campus environment outside of class or strictly want to write well.

Q: How does US State university different from others?
What is the differences between state uni and others? public vs private? for eg. California State University Vs University of California Can anyone clarify me how does these two uni are different from each other; which one is better? I see CSU is not in the world ranking. Anyone suggests me any renowned, relatively high ranked and cheaper (10,000$ to 20,000$) US universities for computer science, please someone advice me coz i'm planning for my further study in US. i wonder why CSUs are not in the world ranking list?

A: In the US there are state an private universities. State schools are funded mostly by the government. Most money comes from the actual state the school is in and these schools take a majority of kids from their own state. State schools are cheaper than private universities and colleges. Most can not afford the resources that top private schools offer. You are more likely to find very large classes at state schools. Most states have many schools in the state system of varying quality. In California, a huge state, the system is enormous. It has Ucs, it's top schools, CSUs, it's middle tier schools and community colleges. Over the years the lines have blurred, so there are some CSUs (CA state schools) which are now better/harder to get into, than some UCs. The top UC's, Berkeley, UCLA and UCSD are a large cut above the other UCs. CSUs like Cal Poly are harder to get into than the bottom UCs such as Merced and Riverside. All of the CA schools are currently facing enormous budget cuts making them hard to graduate from in 4 years unless you come in with lots of credits. As the UCs cost $25K/yr, they are currently looking like less of a bargain over good private schools, especially those with good aid. Remember though, the prices are much higher if you are not a resident of California. Ther are no good schools for under $20K for a foreign student unless you can get aid from a school. For that focus on the private colleges, some of which do offer such aid to a few international students. It's confusing, hope that helped!

Q: What does a University look at if you already have your associates degree from a community college?
I am currently in a community college with a 3.9 GPA and working for my associate’s degree to save some money, and I am planning on attending a University after to get my bachelors degree. What does a University look at when you are applying and all ready have your associate’s degree? Is it the GPA, were you got the degree from, or something else? I appreciate any information that you could give me.

A: Hi, I attended community college before transferring to a university ( Go Rowan!) and I can tell you that they look at your GPA, and what classes you have taken, and your major. You must be careful, as I unknowingly took Junior level classes at the CC that did not transfer....I had to redo them. ( It's a business...right?) Check out how popular your major is at the university you want to transfer to. Some people try to transfer directly into a highly competitive major, and are told flat out no because they only have so many spots available, and take currently enrolled students only. (Luckily I found that out before I tried to transfer....that would have happened to me I am sure.) Transfer over to a major that is less competitive, then try to attempt to get in once you are there if you hear it is highly competitive or has limited spots. Most people have a least a semesters worth a credits to play around with in the gen ed or elective dept, so you wont be wasting time. Also....My university was TERRIBLE with paperwork (10 yrs ago) and told me after I had been accepted "Sorry....we have no records....." Of course I was a basket case and called everyone in the world, and told them I had the letter of acceptance,yadda yadda....I got the basic bureaucratic response of "If it aint in the computer..." ANYWAY.....after hours of calls, I found out there is a secret backdoor (at least 10 yrs ago) into universities.....called "non-matriculated"....The lady who finally felt sorry for me told me that you can enroll as a non matriculated student, (not an official student) and take classes...then apply while you are taking the classes....once you kick butt and get a 4.0...how can they deny you? You have already proven you can do the work...AND the nonmatriculated classes convert to accredited classes after you are officially enrolled...cool...I dont know if this is still the case, but check it out in case you need the back door.(Hey...it worked for me)...Hope this helps. OH...almost forgot....many states have an agreement with the state universities(within state) for guaranteed acceptance if your GPA is over 2.5...check this out in your state.(NJ has this if you are transferring form a CC to a state U within the state you live) But not necessarily into your desired major.Good luck! One more thing....If you apply directly into a highly competitive major....you may need letters of recommendation,volunteer hours,and a really kick butt letter where you praise the heck out of their "highly esteemed" program (This kiss butt letter worked for me like a charm)...if your major is art, a portfolio review may be required. Good luck!

Q: What is the difference between College and University?
I live in Canada and attend a University (MUN) and I am almost finished my Bachlor of Science.. Biology Major. I know in Canada there is a big difference in College and University. Here.. University takes 4 years plus additional x amount if you're doing graduate but College you go in for 2-3 years and get a trade and a lower paying job! What is the difference in the States? I hear people saying they are going to College even though it's a university!

A: The difference between the words college and university depend very much upon where you live. In many cases, in the US, a college refers to a four year advanced education only, and an institution which does not have the accreditation to offer more than a bachelor’s degree. College may also be restricted by its modifiers. For example, a technical college may offer Associate of Arts degrees or certification in certain fields only. A junior college or community college also offers a variety of A.A. degrees and certification programs. Traditionally the term college applied to a part of a university. Large universities may be split into colleges or departments that offer different degrees. The University of California, Berkeley, for instance, has colleges of music, science, law and liberal arts, to name a few. Deans or heads of the college oversees each college, but the ability to grant degrees is through the overhead university. Most large universities also offer advanced degrees like PhDs and Master’s degrees. A four-year college, not attached to a university may only offer bachelor’s degrees.

Q: What's the difference between University of California and California State University?
What's the difference between University of California and California State University? For instance there is UCLA and CSULA. What different?

A: U of Ca is at the University level, and CA State is at the state level. The next one down would be a community college.

Q: How do you get accepted to an university in Canada?
To the largest university of Canada? That would be University of Toronto BUT after that, I am going to dental school in University of Toronto. So how do you get accepted into the university from high school? Actually, I am in Grade 9 but I am working to plan for universities early. So it can be easy for me.

A: im assuming you're in Canada and you're in grade 12 [or 13] you should start downloading applications, and getting your special PIN Number you'll need to put on your application you do your application, i think for UofT you need references, so get a teacer who knows you really well or a guidance councellor depending on what program yo want to do, marks and averages fluxuate so steps talk to a guidance councelor - optional download an application get PIN number and other documents fill out application wait wait wait wait open letter, that either says your accepted or that you're denied good luck1 ella

Q: Where can I find a University Professor to teach at my university?
Hello, I am working at a Korean University and we are currently trying to hire English speaking professors to come and teach business courses at our university. Is there a good database, or website I can go to find professors? Thank you for your time.

A: There is no direct website to find all english applicants. Those people looking for jobs go to an affiliated site such as monster.com or careerbuilder.com and submit their applications. So I suggest joining one those sites and posting your specifications.

Q: What University should I go to for a career as an opthalmologist?
Would it be a primary care or research university? And what major woul be best for that career?

A: If you want to be an ophthalmologist, you have to go through 4 years of medical school. There are quite a few medical schools around the country and most states have at least one. If you are set on becoming an ophthalmologist, you will first need to get into a good medical school. Rankings for medical schools can be found through US News. After that, you will have to apply for a residency program in ophthalmology, which is an additional 4 years. I don't believe there is such a thing as a primary care university, however, many medical schools are part of a larger research university. This doesn't make them better, but it does mean more funding for if you would like to complement your studies with research. Nowadays, many opthalmologists also conduct research, so it wouldn't hurt. As for an undergrad major, you can go with anything as long as you cover the basic science requirements necessary for medical school. Therefore, it would be easiest to go with a science major. However, I know people in med school who have degrees in English, psychology, economics, engineering, law, etc. It all depends on what you like. In general, you need to take physics, biology, chemistry, organic chemistry, english, math (up to calculus), and a few other random requirements. It's best to check with any university counseling center. They should know.
