Looking for the Best American University Experiences?

listen kids, i’m currently applying to uni in the states and i want the real deal. i’m a 20 yr old, Malaysian girl, completed 2 yrs of an american degree programme and looking to transfer to the US. the university criteria? read on:

1)urban but with a nice sprawling campus (preferably with ivy-covered buildings but, hey i’m not fussy)

2) party college (somewhere that has great parties!! or at least a town within 10 miles with a nightlife)

3) a decent journalism/mass comm school (with a separate college dedicated to journalism not just as one major)

so far i’m considering Boston U(even with it’s astronomical fees), U of Indiana-Bloomington(good J-school), U of Miami-Ohio, IU-PUI, Penn State, U of Missouri-Columbia. Any dirt on those unis? Do tell. Also, since my knowledge of US uni’s is garnered from watching MTV and movies, please do enlighten me on anything i should look for in my quest to find the all-american uni (gawd tht makes me sound like some MTV-brainwashed fool!). help!

need help w/ an unexplained illness my mom has been sick&i want your suggestions please read[long]?

my mom has been sick for almost
2 years with these symptoms that
no doctor or specialist can figure out.
im hoping to get peoples OPINIONS,
SUGGESTIONS, or possibility of having
SIMILAR symptoms. yes i know if doctors
cant figure out whats wrong why would you
guys…well sometimes doctors are just in it
for the money or are looking in all the wrong
places….others opinions and stuff help.

38 years old-good health, one
day felt sick.
she has smokes cig. for 24 years
[doctors always tell her to quite
shes tried, and she used to smoke 3-4
packs a day now she only smokes 1/2
or less a day]

DO NOT HAVE:
shingles
fiber miligia[spelt that wrong sorry]
nerve injury
[doctors already cleared those out.]

On major medications
but none completely
stop the pain

whats been done:
MRI
CT
Ultra sound
x-rays
[ALL NEGATIVE]

lab tests show inflammation
but not sure if that’s the issue

Symptoms:

severe burning-upper right quadrant
hot flashes
sensitivity to heat
[recent] small heart attack
stroke[i believe]
always tired
numbness[on and off]-face/arms/left leg
insomnia
salty taste in her mouth[especially when coughing, has been happening for a couple months now]

Also, during the summer when i was watching her, she
would have these weird little attacks, i think seizures,
but im not quite sure, they scared me though and
everything ended up leading to her heart attack but
that was a 1-2 months later if i remember right.

had to quite job because of pain.
if she moves too much [walking,doing laundry,
going to the store, getting up, almost anything]
she gets dizzy and pain increases.
blood pressure drops
severe swelling increases [during activity]
in her stomach and sometimes feet
gained 20-30 lbs since shes been sick
[weight changes up-down-up down]

hardly drinks soda
mainly drinks tea[lipton/japanese tea]
also drinks plenty of water

has had 3 periods a month
for about 4-5 months now.

she was never overly stressed
or depressed, has always been a
very happy-active fun woman
no reasons for her being this way.

seen over a dozen doctors/specialists
stanford university dismissed her
because they couldnt figure out
what was wrong.
pain management was their only source
she tried it. it made her worse.

p.s. shes not a drug addict or drinker.
the pills she takes are prescribed
and takes only the amount given.
she doesnt want to be on dozens of meds.
so she doesnt abuse the use of having them.

the doctors are going to be checking her for
lupus and MS i believe it was soon. and i
was researching a bit and ive also posted
this info. earlier but doing it again and i
found that her symptoms are much like
lyme and hypothyroidism and she hasnt had
a trigger point test done. but she plans on
telling her doctor these things when she
sees her.

my e-mail is:[if needing more info or whatever]
emotionalnites@aol.com

Do black universities & clubs & organizations need racial diversity? Does China or Japan need racial diversity

Is it only White people that are supposed to benifit from racial diversity or are we targeted for destruction? Every other nation has policies to ensure their culture and racial makeup does not change exept ALL White founded JOG nations. The mongoloids have massive areas just for them and the same for the negroids. The caucazoids do not have one land or nation for themselves. EVERY White founded nation is being flooded with non-Whites. In the U.S. we will be at about 20% of the population by 2050 and a minority in EVERY other nation by that date. WAKE UP!!!

Racial diversist as used really means there are to many White people around. It really means death to the White race.
What about historically White businesses, schools, clubs and living areas? Oh I forgot that is only OK for EVERY other race.
For the dim co co - White people conquered this land from the savages. No living creature has a right to anything he or it can not take and keep. So no the wrongly labled “Indians” could not say the same thing since they are mongoloids and they have massive areas of land in Asia. I am not an idiot that is infected with christ insanity so I care about my point of veiw - the White perspective and thus I do not care about the “Indians”.

How do I get my Myspace home page back to English?

I went to Myspace Latino just to see what it was, and the whole thing got switched to Spanish!!! How do I change it back to English? It’s funny, but also annoying!
I tried the link in the first answer, but there were no English options, and there was no button at the bottom which switched it back!
