Why not take GE classes in summer school? A missionary in either situation is going to be gone just as long and the same missed opportunity to save money for the following semester. -

There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese. --Coach FinstockComment

No because you get home in the middle of the semester... Obviously you can't go. Then its summer. who wants to spend their summers in school? So you work, go on road trips whatever...Originally posted by Donuthole View Post"Be a philosopher. A man can compromise to gain a point.

Another part is that people are retaking a couple classes because they werent serious before their mission (I am one of those even though I graduated 3 years after I got home from my mission). Maybe there is more of tendency to work and go to school part time at the U than at the Y."Be a philosopher. A man can compromise to gain a point.

I was merely reemphasizing my point that there is often a conscious decision of those who return mid-year to take a semester off before hitting the books again.Originally posted by Mormon Red Death View Post

As for dinking around, I know all too well how that happens. I screwed up royally in my college academics before my mission, and paid a heavy price upon returning. Even though I retook courses and got my GPA nice and high, and did very well on the LSAT, my poor pre-mission grades ended up costing me a shot at some top-ranked law schools.Prepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss

BYU grad puffing out chest to U of U grad is like two flies arguing over who got the better piece of the turd.Originally posted by Coach McGuirk View Post
They're both good enough for what they are. Neither is "great." Smartest kids at either are about as smart as anyone anywhere, but most of us here don't fit into that category. Plenty of slow kids at both, but Utah surely takes more lower-tier applicants than the BY. In related news, those lower-tier applicants don't always make it to graduation. Big deal. Besides, since when does "time to graduate" necessarily translate into quality of education? If you want to truck out "quality of education" smack, the BYU is going to struggle to overcome its censure by the AAUP.
And as for you guys piling on MRD for not going to school in the summer, back the hell off. He worked his ass off every summer - and throughout all the school year - to pay for school, and still graduated on time.Last edited by Solon; 06-04-2009, 07:02 AM."More crazy people to Provo go than to any other town in the state."
