Hahah. Be careful; the 'art mafia' ppl will want to crowd my school upon seeing Or maybe they'll do what they always do and try to fix the problem with money; call up my prof and try to get him to teach at their school. Actually, they do have such a class (they hired two space people to teach it, too (LOL; money can do anything LOL) but it's soooo freaking easy; poor teachers :( I'm sure they'd prefer a class that understands Bern0ulli's Principle or Zen0's Paradox (ha; we learned Bern0ulli's and had to conduct actual experiments using the Principle in high school (seriously, I was only eleven to thirteen! Then again we had to do seven years of math and science!) rather than some artsy kids just trying to fulfill an H and S requirement to graduate :( Anyways, I looked up their syllabus and it's so freaking EASY in comparison; their last assignment is not even as difficult as our FIRST, and this is our INTRO class! I think that that is what people miss out on by not being TRULY interdisciplinary. There is no real cr0ss-p0llination. These people are going to go into the "real world" and not be prepared with the concerns of the engineers, venture capitalists, investors, etc For example, we even had an actual stock screening room in our school! Business majors could actually see in real time, ticker symbols! And you also miss out on the points of view that comes with that interdisciplinary thought!
I guess that school is artsy fartsy, so people can usually barely do math, much less use math and science to build real things. Oops..
Right now, for this school, it's such a chill group. I don't think I've seen such an equally balanced group (in terms of diversity) since probably USC or the East Coast. That's one thing about PCC; it was a bit homogeneous because of people trying to get into a "certain art" school. They even would push and come to the fairs. One time I was not paying attention and said out loud "X school SUCKS. You'll be paying loans forever!" and the crowd around the table kind of looked up at me. (Oops) And then you get the snobbiness, etc when you have homogeneous, which I don't like. They'd be in groups and they wouldn't talk to you. Gross. Drive around in fancy cars and thought they were better because they're going to pay 300K for their education in "Art" LOL. Meanwhile, their parents came to this country as immigrants just like me and busted their @$$ to succeed, and they're only enjoying these things because of THOSE people's efforts, NOT theirs. I'd prefer to be around some poor person who barely made it into school with me (I had a friend whose mom used to clean hotels for a living and couldn't even afford the dress she wore for graduation; her daughter used money she got working part time to buy one for her) but was beating my butt at calculus. It goes to show the school made an effort and it's quite wonderful to see those people struggle and come out of school making six figures plus, living the life. Our school had that community. Here (thus far) has humility and is just driven to learn. Love it.
GAH! THATS SO FREAKIN COOL!!! GO GCC!!
