Apparently we are a modern comprehensive university. I'm not sure what that is supposted to mean. If that means we are a university of middle class white kids who wear Hollister and like to drink, than yes, that is us.
I go to the University of Victoria, famous for its infestation of pudgy inbred bunny rabbits.
There are also lots of African drumming circles, LuLuLemon pants, 4:20 gatherings, frisbee-golfers and, as Erin so eloquently put it already, middle-class white kids wearing Hollister and drinking terrible beer.
At a college where over 80% of the students commute, you can see how exciting campus life is by reading the "Campus and Community" section. Highlights include a bike path and....ah, that's it.
We have a golf course, but if it didn't cost a body part to golf there, I might have actually gone.
And now, here it is...your moment of Carlin (12/3/2008)
Violent American movies like Die Hard, Terminator, and Lethal Weapon do very well in places like Canada, Japan, and Europe. Very well. Yet these countries do not have nearly the violence of the United States. In 1989, in all of Japan, with a population of 150 million, there were 754 murders. In New York City that year, with a population of only 7.5 million, there were 2,300. It's bred in the bone. Movies and television don't make you violent; all they do is channel the violence more creatively.
I'm just about to start my final (third) year at Lancaster University. It's a small place but I love it. Plus, it's split up into 9 bits called colleges (that aren't colleges really...just where you live and stuff) and every college has it's own bar.
This is an aerial shot of my school. Most facilities are contained within that circular road ("Ring Road," that is) but you can see things like the football field and a few others (including my main spot, the Fine Arts building) on the outside.
