They are having me stay in a quad apartment in the South Quadrangle. I have been praying that I will get some good roommates that won't have a problem with my political or religious beliefs.

One hard question you will have to answer for yourself is how to write the essays.

Some where along the line you will be shunted into a class with a liberal professor whose opinions you find offensive.

Okay, you keep your mouth shut in class, but then comes the test.

You have to provide an essay on something the prof has lectured on.

What do you do?

Option A: Declare your own opinion knowing it will almost certainly get a grade well south of an A; or

Option B: You are a smart kid, just put the spin the teach wants and get a grade that will help you graduate and maybe go on to post-graduate studies.

It is a conundrum.

But I will tell you, your brilliantly constructed tome will not change the prof's beliefs and will just drag down the old GPA. And the only people who will probably ever read it are him and you.

My advice, if you need it, is to know what you belive but do what is best for you.

Sorry, sometimes the world stinks but those who manage to navigate the rapids usually wind up with fewer bruises.
