Yes, that is the way it is in the U.S. as with elsewhere, but most people use the two interchangeably when referring to their level of education.exequor said:I know what people mean when they use university and college interchangeably but I am international also and the way that I know it is that a university is comprised of one or more colleges, and a college is comprised of schools or departments.
I think suites are a great thing. They were still fairly uncommon when I was in college (all the newer dorms being built at the time were suites, but there weren't many of them yet). They strike a nice balance between every person having their own defined space for their bed, a common space including bathroom to learn to share and be forced to interact with suitemates (learning to deal with your fellow students is a life skill that will help you later in life when you have to deal with office mates), and then some common lounges to get to meet more students aside from those sharing your suite. It also provides more of a sound barrier to have bedrooms off a central sitting room off a hallway so those who like/need quiet can get it.I was supposed to be living in a shared room but I didn't want to deal with those roomate issues so as soon as my housing coordinator told me that a single room was available in a four bedroom suite i took it. Luckily all the other suitemates were academically inclined.
Whoa, you sound like your angry at this guy just because he doesn't want to drink or smoke. You don't have to go to the gym to be healthy. You can just play sports or walk a lot. He didn't even say that he doesn't go to the gym. Even if he hypothetically doesn't get enough exercise, that doesn't make drinking, smoking, and going around with all kinds of girls healthy. There are real health risks to all of those activities. You say you would never let anyone smoke in your room. What would you have done if you were outnumbered like that and the RA's didn't care? He didn't say that not smoking or drinking made him responsible, but it is a start.JasonRox said:I never said go around and screw women. I treat women with better respect than that, which is sad because most of them don't really demand respect.
Bad for my health? You don't sound like a healthy person to me because you didn't even mention going to the gym as one your activites. Seems to me that you sit around all day reading books. That must be GGGREEEAAATTT!
I go to the gym 2 times a week right now, but it will be 3-4 times soon because I don't work 60 hours a week anymore. I explained this in another thread. I eat relatively healthy too, but I just came out of a slump because it wasn't easy eating after breaking up with my gf. My main concern was just eating at the time.
Who said drinking and smoking is irresponsible? Did I not mention I would just drink to a certain extent because I would like to read a book the next day?
If you're trying to come out as a responsible mature freshmen, well you're doing a bad job.
Just because you don't smoke or drink, it does not make you responsible or mature. I personally wouldn't let anyone smoke in my room, apparently you would, and that my friend is irresponsible.
You should have looked into it first, which would have been the RESPONSIBLE THING TO DO! Now, you just screwed yourself.
