I don't think that Hosei ranks as high as Meiji in the private uni list, but, I don't think uni ranking matters much in saying who's clever and who's not. I mean, certainly, entrance exams are tougher for "higher-ranked" uni's, but, that does not necessarily mean that it is the best in providing education, resource, research and support. And there are different rankings for different fields too, so, that kinda complicates matters a bit. And going to uni does not necessarily mean you're smart either ^^;;.
i know it doesn't. But it doesn't really go like that in real-life. i mean, they do a screening first, look at what university you're from and your GPA. then comes the interview. doesn't it go like that elsewhere? it surely is like that here, especially with the number of population and jobless people. With that many people looking for a job in one day, they have to have something to pick out.
i always think that how smart you are and how good you'll do a job is proven
after you get the job. but they have to pick who gets the job.
if you had a company and looking for a person to do a certain job you'll probably pick the person that graduated from Malaya university instead of some guy that didn't go to college eventhough he's a genius, coz how would you know that he was one?
Sure it doesn't mean that a person who graduated from Tokyo University will do a job better than a person from a third-rate uni. It's not all about the brains, but when they succeeded in entering Todai, it is
one factor of proving that they are smart, and definitely shows that they have a
will to be smart.
So of course it doesn't mean that you're not smart if you don't go to some high-ranked uni or don't go to uni at all. but what uni you go to definitely is
a way to find out whether you're smart or not. it is proven that top-ranked uni graduates are good outcomes (unless they have a really lame personality and 0 work ethics) right? that's life... and people do judge you that way. i know it sucks.
anywaaay... Kusa doesn't seem to be someone good at acting. I sneak-peaked the countdown btw. News looks great, lol, (not Tegoshi though, he never does. what's up with the hideous fur coat, yeah, the mono-colored boring grey coat) and of course love their song Weeeek.
But seriously, who is the really freaky blonde dude from k8 that kept waving and doing a ':victory:' all the time? *shudders* :bleh:
i only saw the intro anyway
