Why did you pick MU in the final analysis?

The downer is good too, especially because of the types of movies both theaters have. but i kinda really hate the seats at the downer, they are so uncomfortable. I have also taken my fair share of ladies to both of them.

Thattaboy!

The plus about the Oriental is that there are much more eating venues around it, especially now.

I was amazed by the surroundings!

Coming from an All-Catholic school background, it was easy to see. Midnight Run, AMU Chapel nights, social awareness, etc.

In the classroom - here, I agree with you - it was very subtle, if that.

But .. I came from 8 years of Catholic grade school, followed by 4 years of Catholic (Christian Brother) high school.  So it's not like I couldn't spot it.

Didn't know that.

I don't know if the CB taught you about being a "man for others" or doing things for the "greater glory of god".

The Jesuit style of teaching, especially at my high school, was evident and made so by some stellar teachers (some Jesuits).

I know nothing about the CBs.

I had applied to a number of schools with Computer Engineering programs in the midwest and I got accepted to all of them (except MSOE, because they wanted me to come in and interview me to make sure I could handle not seeing a woman for 4 years of my life).

It came down to the fact that my Grandpa got his undergrad from Vanderbilt and his graduate degree from MU.  He said that if I went to MU he'd pay for my school.  My parents didn't have much money (and neither did I as an 18/19 year old kid) so it was an offer I couldn't pass up

Ah, that website brings me back.  Picking the brandy berries as they ripened, working in the mashery, toiling in the distillery, spinning caps on each bottle as it came down the line.   Ah, cheap child labor.
