as a school, but the Corps and all the "traditions" reminds me of Republicans oddly enough. Granted, Tech is conservative as hell too, but I chose it over UT because I hated the fact that UT felt so crowded whereas Tech is a lot more spread out. Plus, I got into the Honors College, which provided me with much better on-campus housing. My older sister was at Tech so that was also an incentive. And although I began undecided, I ended up in a major that neither UT nor A&M offer: Petroleum Land Management. I graduated recently (May 10th) but wow was I ever burned out on school. I think I probably would have been more dedicated in college if I hadn't done so well in high school. I still did pretty good though considering most of the kids in my major struggled even more than I did. Our major only had two teachers, both lawyers. My GPA tanked from a 3.85 starting my junior year to a 3.56 by graduation. But I know a lot of kids in my major that were at around a 3.2 starting our junior year and tanked just as bad. I got 3 C's in college, all from the same teacher.
