In all fairness, the Ukraine wasn't a communist country after 1991.

sorry Kad, i made the mistake of oversharing early on and have had to hear insults against my heritage, my gender, my parents etc. to be fair i do not recall you doing so, but im not making that mistake again. Lets just say its in NY

Wybish, thats why i said an OLD communist country.

But again, does it have a football program that takes a lot of money? It's passable enough that football stars get scholarships and benefits out the wazoo, but to have every other program not receive better resources because maybe they'll win the title this year and maybe two will make it big in the NFL... Yes, the esteem of going to school with a great football team brings some students in, but that's not enough if the school does not, to the best of its ability, teach them well.

We could talk about the hierachy within a university forever,

but let's look at how a football coach gets paid more than any other public official in the state.

I wonder what the witless narcissist majors in? Hedge Fund Theft?

What did you major in dean condescenion? tree hugging with a minor of kumbayaa ? or how to live of others hard work?

Asked the narcissist whose daddy has to pay a lot of money to help her avoid life as a mail order bride.

Sue, it's conflicting for you to accuse others of living off someone else's hard work in the same thread where you admitted your father pays for your expensive tuition.

It's funny too because contradictions make her head explode. She thinks she "wins" when she points them out. Yet there she is.

I didn't think University of Phoenix Online was that expensive.

I'm going to side with Sue here- it is capitalism at work and there is nothing wrong with a college expending $5 Million dollars to engage a good coach.

Except...is putting up a great sports team the ultimate goal of a University? For these schools it is, apparently. This graphic shows you the priorities- and the priority is football and basketball. If that's what mattered to my college, I'd transfer.

The legacy of Penn State should have encouraged the university system to get its priorities straight. But alas, no.

Really W? You expect a freshman just out of HS to pay her own tuition? That's what being a family is. Cuz it doesn't take a village to raise a child just a family with values.

Shockingly, Sue, there are thousands of teenagers who do just that.

I see she's posted a picture of herself in her stripper outfit.

Sue, Is that how you were going to pay for your college education until your father found out?

And I paid for my college education myself, right out of high school. People who don't depend on daddy for everything tend to do that.

And by that Gif our assumption of how you get your pocket money is confirmed!

Sue, I went to a leading art colege in the US with NO help from my parents what so-ever, I got scholarships, worked full time during the entire year and took out student loans. Many of us did, it is called not being entitled.

Put me down as someone else who went to university without taking a dime from my parents.

[Wynbish]

Posted: 5/13/13 at 12:54pm

When I got my undergrad, I got the Hope scholarship (students in a public school get tuition paid practically in full if a B average or higher is achieved in high school and kept in college). It's paid for by the lottery, mostly.

Other than that, I would have had to pay myself and do a work-study or just not go full-time and hopefully find a "real world" job to help.

Ditto. I paid for college and grad school without a dime from the folks.

"if you knew what my dad was paying for my tuition, it would make your head spin."

Your dad might as well just flush his money down the toilet because from your posts you aren't learning a damn thing. You can't even write a cohesive sentence let alone use proper punctuation.

thats ok, i hope to hire someone like you to proofread for me.

For you others, i think that is great that you paid your way thru college. i really do, i admire that and respect that.

[Wynbish]

Posted: 5/13/13 at 1:02pm

IMO, it's fine to be in a situation where a parent can pay. It's not, however, superior to people who had to work for it themselves. It's not even more impressive. It's just different.

B!tch you can't afford me.
