I'm thankful for the simple things - clean water, a decent chance at a healthy life, and the opportunities I have. Especially to study and improve myself.

I'm thankful for being in America, where I can commit all of the seven sins every single day without getting shot.

I've heard good things about Canadian schools though and best of all they are more affordable then most schools in the US.

That is what I got for going to a high school with 40 different nationalities. I knew different people... in fact many more different people... more than I would ever know if I went to a public school in the US.

Agathon: That would be hilarious.. you going to my school... Hehehhe.. we could be friends.. lol..

No; that would make the college have about 200% of its students.

Especially if you're a Canadian citizen

My undergrad education cost ~1500 $US a year (not a semester) and was the equivalent of most US private school undergrads...

IIRC it was something like 5000$US a year for a noncanadian...

No, several people seem to be under that impression, despite my denying it on several occasions and referring to my thesis on several others. But students here seem to call everyone who teaches them "professor" (which I don't like - I have them use my first name) so I'm not sure what they think (not all lecturers are professors in NZ - it is a particularly exalted rank).

I'm in my last year here in a combined Classics/Philosophy PhD programme. I've been teaching for seven years now (groan...), four here.

I'll be finished next year - if I can pull finger and spend less time on the net. If I do I'll change my name to Dr Agathon.

In physics depts. all teachers are PhDs. Almost all are profs, though on occasion you'll get the odd postdoc teaching.

10 grand for a foreign PhD student. But hell, ask the University of Toronto Fellowship fund about that.

Where'd you do your stuff KH? Western? McGill?

UCSB was something like 72% female and 28% male. A fair number of both were gay but as long as you didn't have a peg leg a guy stood and excellent chance of getting laid on any given weekend and that is something I was very thankful for when I was in college.

I wish I was back in school.

Too bad you didn't learn the difference between "edit" and "quote" at school, Oerdin...

That must have been along time ago, because in '93 it would of cost me 35,000 to go to USC! Maybe 15,000?

There's too much work in philosophy depts for the tenured staff to do by themselves. Especially here at U of T where they get a lot of research time. Many courses are taught by fourth or fifth year PhD students. I'm teaching one next semester.

I mentioned that TAs don't count. But they don't teach a course themselves. That's why they're "assistants", not "teachers"

It's a good thing we don't have private schools in Canada then...

EDIT: and even better that grad students are given their dues...
