School

I read about DeVry, and it looks like the things I am interested in learning. I wasn’t sure if anyone would know of any schools that would be good for this, or learning how to create an MMORPG and things of this sort. Any help or information on schools who fall under this will be appreciated.

DeVry is okay prestige-wise…you might want to also look in to Champlain, Tulane (you would major in Computer Science)…
You should really think about majoring in Computer Science, because more universities offer that major–and many of them are much more prestigious than DeVry or other schools with a game programming major. Here’s a list of those schools: http://www.usnews.com/usnews/edu/college/majors/brief/major_11-07_brief.php

"Over the last however many years, the charter school movement in New Orleans has transitioned many schools into charters." I need to fill in that "however many years".

Since the public school system began reopening in 2006 after Katrina. Before that (for 30 years) the public school system was run like Marion Barry’s Washington DC.

I am interested in PhD in Physics but since my undergraduate degree was in something else, I am planning to earn a Master’s degree before applying to PhD schools. Does anyone know any university in California with a good placement rate into a PhD program? Should I consider out of state schools?

Here’s a link to all of the graduate level physics programs in California: http://programs.gradschools.com/california/physics.html

It seems to me that you should be able to find something without going out of state.

The California State Universities’ highest degree is the master’s (the only Ph.D.’s offered are in conjunction with a Ph.D. granting school — and none of those are in Physics.)

Good luck

My former high school is a big joke. Bus drivers often substitute in classes. A lot of the teachers aren’t qualified to teach. The test scores are going downhill rapidly and the overall way the school handles EVERYTHING from bad teachers to death threats is just ridiculous and apathetic. The people running this school obviously think that because it’s such a small school the rules and regulations of public schools don’t apply to them. Who can be contacted to get this situation resolved, to get this school into shape?

well it varies from state to state, but ultimately they ans2er first to the school board and then to the state. If there is a real problem document proof and submit it to the next school board meeting and gain public awareness about the problem. If the public pressures the school, its more likely they will work to fix it.

Hope that helps!

as per ^, the school actually will lose money if you change, because schools are given $x amount per day for enrolled students, and if there is massive dropout rates in the school then the school ’should’ reflect.

I’m interested in majoring in engineering (either electrical/mechanical/materials) – and I’m planning on appling to the following schools:

1) MiT
2) UPENN
3) Carnegie-Mellon
4) CalTech
5) Stanford
6) UC Berkeley
7) UT Austin

My question is: What other good engineering schools should I apply for? And since most of the universities on my list are top-tier, what "back-up" schools should I apply for?

Princeton has a fantastic engineering program is number 18 in the country.
Purdue University is number 6 in Engineering. We have a VERY strong engineering background. It’s actually one of the more affordable universities of engineering.

I want to major in Journalism or communications but don’t know which shcools to apply for or which schools are good for those majors. What are some good schools for my major?

Ithaca College
Syracuse University
St. John Fisher College
UNC-Chapel Hill

At private schools that require uniforms (ive attended 3) there seems to be more conformity. Eveeryone seems to listen to the same music, has the same hairstyle, if you stand out its bad. But as public school, you don’t stand out?

Do uniforms increase conformity?

Yes and no.

School uniforms are intended to increase solidarity. If someone does not possess a strong sense of self, they can rely on the symbol of the school to make them a better person.

However, this is only a theory. Studies in public and private schools with and without uniforms show the same amounts of prejudice and bullying. Also, there are many studies that suggest that schools with uniforms do, in fact, have higher levels of conformity.

So the answer to your final question is yes, but as to the music they listen to and the hair they wear, I’m afraid that’s just the spirit of the times.

My brother wants to go to school for audio engineering, but we’re having a hard time finding schools with good programs that accept federal aid. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Or any school with electrical engineering

I want to be a chef and want to know what some of the best culinary schools are. I’ve looked at the French Culinary Institute and I like it alot. Is this a good choice? I also wanted to know what the average tuition cost for culinary schools are.

The Culinary Institute of America (Poughkeepsie, NY)
California Culinary Academy (San Francisco, CA)
Johnson & Wales (Providence, RI)

I am looking into becoming an anesthesiologist but i do not know of any specialized schools of anesthesia after medical school. Could you please tell me of some in the US?

There aren’t any "schools". What you are looking for are RESIDENCY positions. Most major hospitals have at least a few spots for anesthesia, but I am afraid that I do not know of a complete list. This will be supplied to you via residency application services, as well as your medical school.
