Let me know what Boston is like!

Good advice! I think I'm going to do religion and the academy as my focus. What were their results, generally speaking, it I may ask? Thanks!!

But if one wants to do a PhD in theology or a ThD, these languages are probably required, right? If I do a PhD, though, I'm interested in the in the field that inspired the first part or my username. Still, whenever I talk to older people (like my father, a few professors, etc) that have master's in theology, they all studied Greek and hebrew. Why the change??

WC is great :-) Question: I was looking at my course requirements at BU STH for the MDiv (yes, I'm excited), and I realized that neither Greek nor Hebrew is a requirement for the degree. At least, I found no mention of a language requirement. All 96 credit hours are accounted for. Am I wrong? And if I'm not, is this normal?

I lived right next to WC for most of my life (before attending college 1300 miles away), and my father received a grad degree in theology there before attending med school. It's a great school, beautiful campus, awesome cafeteria and gymnasium, fairly rigorous, safe area, and tons to do. Don't give up :-). Im biased, though... I love that school. Anyway, the people at Candler are super nice! If your choice is between Duke and Candler, then I think the future looks bright for you :-).

don't give up!

Congrats!!!

So, another question: in grad school, is the reading primarily from books (paper or e-) or PDFs?

I want to be in an underground theological association!

I will, too, when I'm not on the mobile version of TGC :-D

No! Keep posting!

Can you put the new apple os on any netbook? will the netbook still run quickly? If so, that's tempting...

I bought a toshiba netbook over 4 years ago (wow...maybe 5 almost...), and it's still going (though dying now--but will take me through the rest of the semester). I wouldn't spend more than $350. I spent $300 ( brand new ) on mine on Amazon when I got it. Actually, I'm in a physiology class at the moment, and this girl has a HUGE laptop with her... looks cumbersome!! Go netbook if you don't want to spend more for a MacBook air. I really wish iPads were more functional!

I wish the iPad was suitable for grad school; it looks so cute and portable

I want to start grad school now... Anyone doing anything fun this summer? I'll be taking yet another "admissions" test to prep for when I finish my MDiv ha...
