I move back into my room tomorrow thank god.  I feel like I haven't had my own space in months.  Mostly because I haven't.  And after all that, starting next week the madness begins.

dont you think 72 units might...be a little much?

going to graduate with us?

When they said July 31, did they happen to mention which year?
It appears that FinAid would have never been the type to take 72 units at a time.
Best of luck starring as the lead role in "The MIT Madness of Miss Bakse". :)

Damn bureaucrats and their loopholes....

I think it will be good. I've already starred in said production, so this might actually be the one semester that is sane for me.

Crazy MIT units... I'm looking at 20 credits over here, in the land where we measure things in hrs/week. Do you know if units are hours per month, or something entirely different?

I have heard people bitch about 6.170 being evil as it is way more than 15 hours a week and it's a 15 credit class - so I dunno. MIT is hardcore - not our fault everyone else is lazy.

One thing I do love about your system is how you've Deweyed up the curriculum. I think at this point I could tell you more about an MIT class by the number than I could about a BU one, sadly enough.

Speaking of which, I heard BU is hiring some of the consultants from Harrah's who are suggesting doubling all the course numbers, since nobody likes all the giant lecture-hall freshman courses. Cynics are saying that even if the suspect course numbers are changed to 202, the faculty/student ratio is going to remain the same.

Personally, I'm holding out for a placebo effect. When I have my own college, I'm ending every course number in "quadrillionplusone."

According to our online course listing, each unit represents 14 hours.
