But when I see Villa girls in Philly, they often exclaim in gushing tones, "Wasn't it the BEST time of your LIFE! Don't you MISS it?!" Abso-fucking-lutely NOT. I always said the best thing about Villa was Malvern Prep down the road. Between the pressure to excel in academics, play sports, and cram 51,000 activities into your schedule, I hated my life from ages 14-18. I'm not some Columbine outcast either. I made good grades, had a group of friends, did charity work and was in the school play, choir, and volunteered. Villa Maria's school policies were to repress creativity, demand conformity, and always look picture-perfect in your pervert's dream Catholic school uniform. Villa takes the credit for the natural tendencies of excessively parented, upperclass white girls; which is to achieve. It has nothing to do with the school or their ridiculously quaint ideas about education. Don't send your girls to Villa. If they are smart, they will do well in any school. If they need help or are not inclined to Lockean "tabula rasa" classroom environments, they will wither and die under Villa's oppressive regime. Up with education, down with Villa.

Everyone hates on going to community college coming out of high school, but honestly going to Bucks…read morewas one of the smartest choices I've ever made. Here's why: AFFORDABLE - I paid off each semester easily. If you live in the county, a year of college at Bucks is only going to cost you more or less 4,000 dollars. SAME PREREQS- As long as you do the research to make sure every class you take is transferable, taking your prerequisites here is the same as taking your prerequisites elsewhere. The only difference is about 10-12,000 dollars. Saving that much moolah sounds pretty damn good to me. STUDENT TO TEACHER RATIO - The student to teacher ratio is pretty small. It usually looks something like 19:1, though I'm not exactly sure what the ratio truly is. Individualized attention is not hard to come across. The classes are not insanely large, especially at the Perkasie campus. GREAT PROFESSORS - I've had some of the most awesome and involved professors at Bucks. Randolph Quinby was my favorite...he teaches Humanities courses. Take one of his classes; you won't be disappointed. CLASSES FOR FULL TIME WORKERS - There are tons of options for night classes, online classes, and hybrid classes (half online, half in school) that are designed specifically for hard working people with a busy schedule. Of these three options, I prefer night classes. They are from 6 to 9:30 at night with a break at around 7:30/8. The professors understand a busy schedule and, as long as you put genuine effort into the class, they will understand if something comes up (late night shift at work; kids sick; etc). CUTE CAMPUS - Yes, the Perkasie campus is wimpy wimpy wimpy. But it's just so...CUTE!!! The two buildings are located in a Giant shopping plaza. And I don't mean giant as in the size; I mean it's literally located right next to the supermarket Giant. I like it though; big campuses always intimidated me. There's a cafe called Down to Earth Cafe in the plaza where a lot of students will go before or after class. TRANSFER AGREEMENT PROGRAMS - Many of Pennsylvania's state schools have a transfer agreement program with Bucks. I know from personal experience that Penn State Abington will grant you a 1000 dollar scholarship if you graduate with your associates from Bucks and transfer to their campus. There are a ton more options too. ADVISORS - Let's be honest: advisors want you in and out of the program just as much as you want to be in and out of the program. The advisors will do their job to get you into the classes you need and help you graduate as soon as possible, and advising slots are always open. So I obviously have a slight obsession with this school, but it's only because I'm sick of hearing everyone bash it! Bucks County is an amazing area in the state to live in, and the community school is a good one! (And much better than Montco, I've heard ;]). Definitely don't rule out a community college for the sole reason that it is a community college. It's a great choice in the long run and I promise you won't regret going here!! :) Cheers to Bucks Perkasie. WARNING: The fact that Bucks is a community college does not take away from the difficulty of its astronomy class. IT'S A TRAP! It's not all about pretty stars...it's actually really difficult, and the professor was hardcore!!! There were 11 people in my astronomy class initially, and we ended up with 4 left. I was one of the last ones standing, but I barely passed with a "C." There was another girl who was a straight-A senior at Kutztown University who had been putting off her science credit. She took the same class I did and she barely made it out alive as well. Don't underestimate a community college's courses.

While Princeton University is busy painting their Ivied laurels orange and black, there's another…read morecitadel of academic and intellectual excellence in the area that has at times made the Tigers on Nassau Street look like a community college. I am of course speaking in hushed, reverential tones about the Institute for Advanced Study quietly doing their think tank thing at One Einstein Way. Founded in 1930 by renown educator Abe Flexner with an endowment from the retail scions of the Bamberger family, their initial goal was to spirit away Germany's best scientists from the Third Reich and more currently, to collect and place the finest minds in science, mathematics, humanities et al, in an isolated and immersive intellectual environment - giving these true masters of the universe a place to come ponder and ruminate about research they might like to pursue without the distraction of teaching class or the publish or perish burdens of mainstream academia. Albert Einstein was their first fellow and the list of "faculty" is no less luminous to the present day. The resulting list of groundbreaking insights and awards for scholarship is beyond impressive. As far as I can tell there are no tours but the building itself is as impressively foreboding as you would expect. For whatever reason I like knowing that it's here and with all due respect, helps to keep the community college rabble at Princeton University on their toes.

The pork chop I was given looked like it was made in a real restaurant. The variety was quite fantastic (sandwiches, soups, desserts, etc). I'm not sure about the price though, my boss paid. I would say it wasn't that much. At least I hope so. Hey, why don't you go, pay, and tell me how much it was. Gracias!

Perelman School of Medicine is part of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, and the…read moreoldest medical school in the country. Located at the edge of the campus close by the Schuylkill River, it has greatly expanded in the past two decades to dominate Civic Center Boulevard, even replacing the historic Civic Center for which the street is named. With over 750 students and 2,600 faculty, it is ranked as the best medical center in Pennsylvania, #6 for research (tied with Duke University), and tied for 20th in patient care with University of Wisconsin. What this all means in short is that there are few places where medicine is taken more seriously to the benefit of its patients and the entire community. Graduation from Perelman is an honor that sets you up for a lifetime of excellence in care and a great career. While the school is in the same building as the main entrance to the medical center, they are not the same thing. Both are owned by the University of Pennsylvania, but have separate administrative offices befitting the enormous size of the overall institution. More eyes and expertise overseeing all aspects of the health system established in 1765. All in all, not a bad place to be cared for if fortunate enough to have its services within reach.

The principal has a chip on her shoulder, and she and her administrative staff are rude to the students and parents. They constantly hide their mistakes, instead of learning from the mistakes and improving. This is scary when you think about the issues the catholic church/schools have been accused of hiding. Many of the teachers are actually good and serve the students well. However, the dictatorial and arrogant management style has a trickle down effect that makes the teachers and students timid/fearful and less confident. Compared to other catholic schools in the area, this is a striking difference and many parents noticed some red flags even on the first day of the tour/open house. The principal boasts that the academic scores are better than other local catholic schools, but the actual numbers do not support this claim. If you are looking for classroom size, this is not your school. If you are considering this school because of religious reasons, then you need to consider their values that go against christian values.
