About Me

My photo
I am a sophomore at the wonderful Catholic University in Washington, D.C. I am majoring in Media Studies and minoring in Art History, although they don't seem to conincide...The reason I started this blog is that I am currently taking a media class, called Special Topics in New Media, and it is a project for the semester. This is my first blog so we'll see where it takes me...

Stumble Upon College In America

As I was using the amazing website that is StumbleUpon, I stumbled upon something that reminded me of a discussion we had in class about the Youtube video we viewed in class. Entitled College In America, it is a page dedicated to scary, and even funny college statistics. For example, the website states stupid classes that are offered in some universities such as one entitled, "The Art of Walking"

The student made video which we viewed in class, that showed scary statistics regarding American colleges and universities quite frankly freaked me out and inspired me to spend less time on useless websites like Facebook. I personally believe that every college student should view that video because they can all relate to it and maybe be inspired to change there habits along with me.

    I agree with you, that video we watched in class freaked me out as well. Many of my friends that go to large schools always say that about their classrooms and teachers. Going to a school like CUA I think it would be a lot harder for people to get away with never doing homework or reading the books. Most bigger schools only have midterms and finals for their classes, I like going to a smaller school better because it helps ensure that you will do your work because there is a chance you could get called on the next day in class.
