What ur gonna be when u get all growded up

[Bram Gotink]

1) top american schools have hundreds of years of history.

yeah, but that's as far as it goes.

2) eeeh? what has americas political system got to do with unis?

Nothing. I didn't say anything about American politics. I mentioned the word "democracy" as in : "We have a saying in what we have to study"

3) so?

què?

4) well considering top American unis have endowments in the region of many many billions, if you were a good enough student, they probably would give you enough money to cover your costs (although international financial aid is extremely rare).

w/e man

5) the fact that you're not good enough to play sports is your problem. not the universities for providing people with the opportunity to play them.

I never said I am not good enough for sports. You're right, but that doesn't matter. I hate sports. It's fatiguing, dangerous and unhealthy...

6) there are stupid people everywhere. but very few of them are in the top american schools ...

true, if you exclude the teachers. But the same goes here

your post is just plain stupid tbh.

and yes, no way in hell can i see a Belgium Uni being better for me than had i applied & somehow got into the American Unis that i really liked - Brown, Columbia, Georgetown (and maybe USC).

Amusez-vous!

im sorry, are you saying that American universities are ranked top in the world for no good reason? if money wasn't an issue youd still rather go to Belgium uni rather than say: MIT (sounds like your kinda place), Stanford, HYP? w/e man. ive never been huge fan of america but ill be first to admit that im jealous of the wide range of Unis they get to chose from.

we are not discussing that are we? and UK only realistically has like..4 amazing universities tbh - Oxbridge, LSE and Imperial college. America? many many many more. ivy leagues alone is like 8 Unis, then you get MIT, stanford, ucla, berkley, chicago (well for economics atleast)...so many many amazing unis. but thats not even the point. we were talking about American ones vs Belgium ones.

This site places the K.U.Leuven at 197 (Catholic University of Leuven)
Which I consider good. Even tho Anton is right, a lot of American universities do better...
Perhaps b/c they ask a lot of money, IDK...

Let's just say that I'm happy in my uni, paying enough as it is; rather than in a uni that asks way too much, and spends way too much on sports instead of school (uni = still a school, for crying out loud) whilest being slightly better.
Besides, my country is the only country in the entire world able to make me a civil engineer, so I have no choice
