    My school Hunter College has one of the best anthropology departments in the country, It was compared to that of Harvard and Yale's and beat them both :eek:
    I'm a film major now but I'm also very interested in anthro, I'm not sure whether or not I should switch, i'm very indecisvie, I'll have to cover a lot of ground and all.

    1. Beginning Russian (Difficult but I'm really enjoying it, thinking about studying abroad)
    2. 17th Century English Literature (Hate it even though I'm an English major)
    3. Reading Marx, Rethinking Marxisms (Love it)
    4. Physics: Musical Acoustics (Hate it with a passion rarely seen :mad: )

    4 classes may seem light to some but at my school this is full load and really difficult to keep up with.

    Hey sounds like fun, although despite being at college I believe I would be considered too immature by the teacher a couple days in and be kicked out : ;) :
    btw I love the word arse and have incorporated it along with wanker into my vocabulary after reading a lot of British publications to the consternation of my friends and family

    Also:

    -Alcohol 455: Advanced Binge Drinking

    -Football 418: Dragging Your Ass Out Of Bed At 5:30 AM To Start Drinking When ESPN GameDay Makes Its First Ever Visit To Your Campus Even Though You Were Up Drinking Jim Beam Straight From The Bottle And Playing NCAA 2006 Until 2 AM The Night Before (I actually took my final in this one on Sept. 17 and got an A, it still counts for this semester though)

    -Females 501: Overcoming Beer Goggles

    -Alcohol 201 (cross-registered as Football 201): Sneaking Alcohol Into Sporting Events (I'm actually a TA in this one, and working on my thesis on this topic for which I've been using a Camelback to bring Jim Beam and Coke into hockey games)

    -Females 405: Taking An Extremely Hot Girl From Her Long-Term Boyfriend After She Came To A Party At Your Place And Pretty Much Molested You But Wouldn't Hook Up Because Although Her Relationship Is Unhappy She's Still In It, And Normally You Wouldn't Do This But You Actually Like This One (I'm currently working on my take-home final in this one)

    -Football 344: Pressuring Your Team's Coach To Fire His Laughably Incompetent Offensive Coordinator And Bench The Quarterback In Favor Of The Younger Guy Who's Clearly Better And Whose Teammates Actually Have Confidence In Him (I'm failing this class miserably)



    I also took a summer class at Ohio State but failed it miserably even though it was an entry-level class:
    -Soccer 105: Making It Back To And Sleeping In The Hotel Room You Paid For Months Ago Instead Of Passing Out In Your Car In Some Random Parking Lot In Columbus Because You Went Out Celebrating The US Victory Over Mexico And Subsequently Were Too Freaking Hammered To Remember Where You Parked Your Car Let Alone Drive It And Had To Ask A Cop Where The Parking Lot Was While Reassuring Him That You Weren't Going To Drive It Anywhere

    Yeah, that one didn't go so well.

    Would I be alone if I were to say this is the post of the (academic ;)) year on this forum?

    And on the seventh week of term, he said 'rep shall be spread!'

    I checked. They lead in faculty members with research support. (Second graph.)

    http://www.artsci.wustl.edu/~anthro/research/ratings.html

    For me, poisonally, speaking as an anthropologist and former academic advisor, I think anthro courses are generally really good for teaching students some of the fundamental skills of scholarship (critical analysis and writing). Hooray for anthro. Grad school is more along the lines of "you got to love it," of course.

    Sounds like my freshman, sophmore, and junior years. Though must admit the crest was sophmore year. I'm taking some good classes right now, but here's what i got for my final semester of undergrad.

    + Advanced Reporting (4 the writer in me)
    + Public Relations (4 the working writer in me)
    + Science requirement (4 the graduation)
    + Workings of the European Union (4 the statesman in me)
    + CPR class (4 the graduation)
    + History of Jazz (been meaning to take this one for a long time)

    yeah that's my life in 6 classes.

    Isn't that data over 10 years old. :confused: And doesn't it only talk about research support, not the quality of the department? :confused:

    Correct in both cases. I wasn't claiming to support or refute anything. I just posted all I found on the subject, although I should say I didn't look very hard.

    Wasn't accusing you; just making sure I was reading what I thought I was reading.
    This reminds me of the Cooley law school rankings, which are really amusing (and completely out of touch with reality).
