Ambiguously Gendered Child of "What is the Hivemind?"

Curves are illegal at MIT. We also don't have a "with honors" thing. Makes us all comrades and a lot less competition between students than other similar schools (and we are the direct opposite of places like JHU where premeds who fall asleep in the library have had their notes and work stolent).

wow, I should have gone there.....

I hear the Freshman courses there don't have grades. It's basically auto-pass.

Not exactly. The first semester, you don't get graded. It doesn't matter which classes you're taking at the time.

It made me REALLY REALLY MAD!!!! (because I took classes that were supposedly "hard" to get them over with on pass/no-record, and got all As and my only A+ that semester...and nobody will EVER KNOW)

Ya, the friendly atmosphere here is what made the decision for me. The Harvard people were jackasses (got accepted there and Caltech and etc, etc)

Ah, amusing. My impression is that, after college, most people won't care regardless.

Yeah, I need more time for all of that. Then again, I haven't tried to remember any of that. Eventually it'll stick, I'm sure.

One of my only DM skills is my ability to stat up any NPC in my head, in the time it takes to get to her initiative in the first combat round. This allows me to play very freeform.

Interesting. That's what I use the 3.0 DMG for.

I need more As to get in the MEng program. I should be able to get out of here in a total of 4 years with a Bachelors and Masters if I do (must be the fact that I often take 6 big classes, what would be for you guys the equivalent of a 26 credits)

Those NPCs are boring, dumb, and not strong enough to challenge my PCs The ones I do in my head will have crazy PrCs and feat combos, and more importantly, they'll all be different

... Eesh. The max is supposed to be 18. I've taken 21 before. 26 is closer to impossible.

Well, I use them for skeletons. I rarely run them as-is. I also spend much more time on BBEGs.
