I talked to the sound tech guy from One Accord (a band) and he turned down a 100% scholarship to MIT to go to NCU.

And this is why religious people FUCKING SUCK AT LIFE.

[d&q]

That's so rediculous I hesitate to believe you.

[Newby]

It is ridiculous and I honestly think it's either an exagguration (on behalf of Joe, to make people he knows seem cool) or a lie on that guy's behalf. Who the fuck would turn down a 100% scholarship to MIT? Either that person has ZERO common sense, or that person is lying. Someone that smart should realize what a 100% scholarship to a school as amazing as MIT is and how great that truly would be.

Someone who got a full scholarship to Cambridge? :P

I agree though, it seems pretty unlikely that "NCU" could ever be a preference to MIT.

NorthCentral University is a bible college. If I got a full scholarship to MIT, I'm not so sure if I'd accept.

He wouldn't get one anyway.

You're a god damn moron. You'd rather go to a shitty bible humping college and walk out making an average paycheck, versus going to a top of the line school, and walk out with a degree making easily $70-80K a year.

I hope Jesus bitch slaps you.

I should re-phrase myself.  It seems unlikely that someone actually accepted to MIT with a full scholarship would choose NCU instead.  We could turn this thread into a "don't do drugsreligion" infomercial. :(

Hahaha.  Yeah, that's a good point.  It seems that MIT would only accept someone who's exceling in science, which I don't think Joe's religious ties will allow him to do.

You've been with your dad too long.  Here's the thing: money isn't the most important thing in the world.

No, but I think knowledge is (or should be) high on everyone's list.  I'd go to MIT for the awesome education more than anything.

Yes, definitely.  But it depends on the type of knowledge you want.  Isn't MIT a technical school?  What if somebody doesn't want a technical education?

MIT is a university; it isn't a tech school.  A "technical school" is something like ITT Tech.

MIT is renowned for its excellence in all/most fields of engineering, but it has exceptional programs in other areas.  Most of the professors are Nobel Prize laureates.

It may not be, but an education is, and with a good education at a good university comes a much easier way to make money once college is over. Everyone has to work at some point in their lives. Unless you're rich or something...

rofl @ Rule. "Don't do religion" <-- It's so true! :)
