Sweet Briar College

Like all women's colleges, Sweet Briar celebrates a woman's brain before the body. The beautiful campus (#3 by Princeton Review) rests in the hills of Virginia and consists of a wonderfully diverse group that enjoys educated discussions and crazy, time-honored traditions. SBC students can enjoy politics, science, the arts, and culture, wearing anything from filthy chaps to pink pearls. The school is proud of Princeton Review’s academic rating (94 out of 99) that rivals Ivy League institutions, it’s “rivals,” and the five remaining women’s colleges from the original Seven Sisters. The educators are dedicated, the equestrian program is strong, the education is exceptional, the atmosphere is friendly, and the colors and mascot are unique (pink and green, vixen). Every lady from a women’s college will understand the feeling of pride and loyalty, and boast an appreciation for wacky traditions and acts of lunacy. The lady vixens enjoy a healthy rivalry, but the majority of students do not live for bad mouthing the nearby women’s colleges. (See the SBC definition versus Randolph-Macon Woman’s and Hollins.) Snappy comments on t-shirts are the norm and “THINK PINK” is the motto.

Looking for a place to truly enjoy the four years of college?

How about Sweet Briar College?

Get Sweet.

electoral college

Also known as the Electorate. A very complex way of electing the President of the United States that is mandated in the Constitution. Each state is given a number of electors or electoral votes by population—California 54 and Wyoming 3—equal to the number of electors it has in the Congress. On election day Americans actually vote for an elector to cast their vote rather than voting for the President himself, despite what the ballot says. Most states have a “winner take all” system that gives all of its electoral votes to the candidate with the most votes. However, some states have no law, and the electors may vote for the candidate they wish or their electoral votes will be awarded based on the popular vote. Six weeks after the general election and the popular vote, the chosen electors travel to their state capital to cast their vote for President; these are the actual votes cast for the President. The candidate with at least 270 electoral votes (one more vote than 50% of the total electoral votes) is the winner. The electoral college and not the popular vote, is what actually elects the President. This system was put in place by our Founding Fathers in the Constitution but resulted in two candidates—one being George W. Bush in 2000—being elected after losing the popular vote. The electoral college has come under fire a few times (usually by liberals who don’t like the Constitution), but works in general. The last time was in 2000 after George W. Bush defeated Vice President Al Gore. The system isn’t perfect but ideal in a Representative Republic like the United States. Changing it would require a Constitutional Amendment by the Congress and a majority of the fifty states.

The electoral college is the process by which we elect the President of the United States.

Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts 

MCLA. Small (slightly shitty, but still enjoyable) liberal arts college in North Adams, MA. Good place to start out... that's it.

Enjoy: Townhouses, Blackinton St, The Mound, Fish Pond, 24/7 Dunkin Donuts, Fort Zen, Fire Pit, 3 AM pizza deliveries and townies.

Beware: RA's, the never-ending winter, herpes, and townies.

"I go to Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts because I'm smart enough for Williams and Smith, but not poor enough for more financial aid."
