Yes, but the dress code requires you wear Nike shoes and sweats.

And I'd be amazed if Cairo could spell calculus let along actually do any. I did several levels of engineering calculus in high school and college and it's not easy.

damn, no nikes. i dont suppose it would be acceptable to scribble a 'swoosh' onto my grubby hiking boots, would it?

Fuck that...I only rock Adidas. And the Kool-Aid would have to be Berry Blue.

I took Calculus my senior year of high school and got a C. Took it again during freshman year of college and got an A. When I found out I would have to take Calc 2 and 3 for my major du jour (Chemistry), I quickly switched to Biology, and have only taken one pseudo-math class since (Psychological Statistics).

Whaddaya talkin about? Math kicks ass! After you get past calculus, nothing's left but the good stuff.

I agree! Math *does* kick ass. Kicks my ass every time I try to do anything beyond simple multiplication...

Being a graduate of Pennsylvania State University, I must beg to differ with you on this one. Yes, PSU has a large athletic program, however, there are a number of non-athletic programs that are academically minded.

Granted, not everyone who goes to Penn State is MENSA material, and I'd agree that there are a handful of students that sat in my classes making me wonder how they got there. (I wondered that about myself when I was struggling with a few of my projects..)

However, Penn State is not a 'jock' school. Athletics are important, yes, but they are not the end all be all of the programs that are on numerous local campuses and at the State College campus as well.

I think it would be easier to stomach the comment that PSU is merely an athletic institution if Hershey Med wasn't around, if some fairly involved research were moved to ohhh let's say Pitt, or if there wasn't a move towards innovation and improvement on each campus.
