mkong asked:


Many states have a university system and a state university system. For example, University of California and California State University. University of North Carolina and NC State. OU and OSU.

I understand that they are two different systems. But what distinguishes the two? Is there a distinguishing factor other than that they are simply administered under separate jurisdictions? Even though the University of [State] system is usually larger, that is not always the case. Do all of the University of [State] systems have something in common, and do all the State University systems have something in common?

There are millions of students applying to a university each year, that makes it millions of personal essay. If someone were to copy the exact personal statement what are the chances of them being caught. Let’s say I’ve a friend who applied to UC Berkeley but he didn’t apply to UW, technically UW won’t be able to see what UC received, if I were to send this essay to UW. Would UW know?.

Assuming both the university asks the same topic essay.
Thanks for the answer, I was using an example, I didn’t do it, just asking “what would happen” , thank you.

I’m playing the Sims 2 with the University expansion pack. I already have a sim in a university and saved the game before exiting, but I can’t figure out how to get back to the university and continue playing with that sim, without making a whole new sim to send there. I can find how to get to the main neighborhood from the main menu, but dont see any option to going to the university neighborhood.

Harold asked:


I heard if u take 2years at a community college u can transfer to a university. How exactly does this work? Does taking the 2years automatically gets u into a university?

?Q&A? asked:


I am at a university now but i am not doing well and I am usually a very good student. I think I picked the wrong school and I want to transfer to another better university. With my grades now I don’t think I am going to get into the school that I want to go to so I was thinking I could go to a community college for a semester or a year to get my grades up. If I did really well, would I have a good chance of getting back into the university of my choice. Please help!

If so, could you pass along any details? What is hostel life like at this university? How are the rooms and the food? Any other information would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Michael S asked:


I’ve been reading stories the past couple days about Steven Kazmierczak, the former student who purchased guns before killing five people and himself at Northern Illinois University on Thursday. How was this guy able to buy guns legally since he had been on psychiatric medications? Can someone with a psychiatric history purchase weapons as long as they don’t have any criminal convictions? Or did this guy lie on his application? The stories I’ve seen seemed to indicate that he bought the guns legally.
