Do all the alerts you want. They are and that is a fact.

Re: PC hockey offseason and TOURNAMENT MODE!
LOL.
Please show me ONE publication that shows Providence to be on the same level or above Boston College in academics. Congrats, CandyVan, you have eclipsed your previous "dumbest statement ever" plateau with this one...
PC is a good school and is probably third in academics in HE after BC and BU, but you are making yourself sound foolish as usual.
LOL.

Re: PC hockey offseason and TOURNAMENT MODE!
You think BU also?
Ok. Dont let acceptance rates blind your view. Every kid applying to enjoy the experience does not equate to a better education.
Dont tell me, tell it to the firms doing on campus recruiting and hiring.

Re: PC hockey offseason and TOURNAMENT MODE!
Umm, you do realize you are reading this wrong, right? BC is ranked # 31 nationally according to USNWR. PC is ranked # 2 in the "Regional" category.
Here's the actual list:

(Unless you think that PC is #2 nationally and BC is # 31 nationally). If so....wait for it....LOLOLOLOL

Re: PC hockey offseason and TOURNAMENT MODE!
I dont think an argument about academics is really relevant to this board so someone should just squash it here...
It's an old cliche that an education at a school is what you make of it but I believe it has a lot of truth behind it. I'm a Merrimack grad no where near the level of PC, BC, or BU on paper. However, my average class size throughout my 4 years was somewhere around 12. I'm a 1L in law school now and it amazes me how some of the people from the premier schools of the country including harvard just don't get it. It is difficult to teach analytical skills in large class sizes some 100 kids or more.
So yes, the rankings may hold BC and BU far above PC, and kids from those schools can certainly boast about the name of the college on their degree, but when it comes down to the caliber of students they produce it's all in what that student put in.

Re: PC hockey offseason and TOURNAMENT MODE!
You're 100% right about students and what they make of their degrees.
The argument here, though, was Hokydad's "fact" that Providence had better academics than Boston College as an institution, not which school's students work harder to succeed, etc after graduation. As usual, he's wrong.

BC and PC can go back and forth.
Zero chance BU undergrad degree is better than PC

"They are and that is a fact"
Opinions or facts, Hoky? This is your quote above regarding PC vs. BC's academics. It's ok to admit you were wrong and ask for our forgiveness and move on.

"stop being such a negative piece of s***"
This is the feedback you leave? How is it negative to call you out on an absolutely idiotic point that it is a "fact" that PC has a better academic reputation than BC when your "proof" is you misreading a website ranking? Too funny.

Re: PC hockey offseason and TOURNAMENT MODE!

Rankings factor inadmission rates(which mean zero), value, fun, clubs offered on and on
Was talking strictly academics.
No go have some more peanut butter
