4/25    ucla ee guy, did you get anything housing info with your acceptance
        letter? The only thing I got was a paper called "UCLA Graduate
        Student Housing Options" and my URSA code.
        \_ That's the only thing I got. I'm mailing mine in soon to see if
           I can get into one of those grad student dorms. Otherwise I'm
           going to go down there in july and find a place.
           BTW, money isn't a big issue for me since my company will
           most likely pick up the tab regardless of where I go. The
           problem is the number of hours I'd have to work. I don't
           want to spend to many hours working since I won't be able
           to study and learn properly.
           At stanford, I'd have to work 25 hrs/wk to get full tuition
           reimbursement. If I go to UCLA, its less than 10 hrs/wk,
           which is much easier (no critical customer bugs or action
           items get assigned to an engineer who is 10 hrs/wk or less,
           but 25 hrs/wk is practically full time at more companies).
           - ucla ee guy
                \_ go to ucla. You're not going to be able to work 25 hrs/wk
                   at Stanford. Despite what people say classes there are
                   not THAT easy (I've taken a few). Sure the grades are
                   inflated, but you still have to work pretty hard.
                   \_ What makes you say UCLA classes are any easier than
                      Stanford classes?
                        \_ the author did not make such statement, nor did
                           he imply it. Perhaps he assumed that 25hrs/wk
                           would have a negative effect on his school work
                           hence it would be better to go to ucla.
        \_ what's the cost of UCLA Master's?
                \_ the same as any other public school.
                \_ much cheaper than Stanfurd.

8/3     Berkeley now ranks 70, while UCLA ranks 50. Williams College
        is #1.

        UCLA is ranked above Berkeley. UCSD is ranked above
        Berkeley. Irvine is ranked one below Berkeley.
        Berkeley has seriously gone done in the past
        two decades. I'm not surprised.
        \_ These aren't "best schools" these are "best value" rankings.

9/26    Cal vs. Oregon:  Were you surprised? </sarcasm>
        \_ I was not surprised the Oregon scored 42 points. I was surprised
        \_ I was not surprised that Oregon scored 42 points. I was surprised
           that Cal only scored 3.
        \_ Not surprised they lost. Surprised at what a thorough ass-kicking it
           was on both sides of the ball. Cal couldn't even put up a TD.

9/23    I'm in grad school part time, and the professor I was trying to get
        to advise me just sent me "What you suggest (remote, part-time, topic
        formulation) doesn't fit my advising style..."  Does anyone know
        what "topic formulation" might mean in this context?  I come with
        funding from work, but the topics I can choose are somewhat limited.
        Could be a reference to that...

2/8     Why does UC suck so hard? I did undergrad at UCB and I hated it.
        Professors couldn't teach, class workload was high, and the system
        was designed to "weed out" students and demoralize them rather
        than teach and encourage them. I always got lower grades than I
        deserved for the amount of work I put in. I don't know if this was
        because of the curve which insists that 50% of students should get
