The practical side of an Ohio Wesleyan education:

Important things to note about OWU include that it is a liberal arts college, so it is one the smaller side and does not offer a degree like a BS, only a BA. this is good however, as BAs go on to make more money anyways.

Ivy Leaguers Dissed By One of Their Own

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

In what will I’m sure feed a lively discussion on the Washington Post website, Amelia Rawls, a 1L at Yale Law, gets up on a pretty high horse to denounce her classmates, as well as thousands of students she’s never met. Ivy Leaguers, she declares, aren’t very “nice.”

I’m saying that sometimes some of these students will denounce world hunger but be unfriendly to the homeless. They will debate environmental policy but never offer to take out the trash. They will believe vehemently in many causes but roll their eyes when reminded to be humble, to be generous and to “do what is right.”

Seems like she’ll make an excellent, super-pious judge someday. She skims over the fact that American teenagers are known the world over for their self-absorption, and not just the ones lucky enough to score expensive private educations. Besides, what teenager wouldn’t roll his or her eyes when told “to do what is right”? I’m rolling mine right now and I’m 25.
