In 2003, I graduated from The George Washington University. I found something disturbing recently concerning this school that I hold near and dear...please, read on.

Should we be the least bit ashamed that our alma matter is now advertising for students on myspace? After I sent a message an add forThe George Washington University appeared on my computer screen. It was advertising a masters in information systems and touting the availability of 3 locations! "Find your ambition" it says, or some crap like that.

Really? It was impressive to tell people that I graduated from GW. Now, when I tell people this information, rather than saying "good school," they are going to say "Yeah, I know that school it was advertised on myspace!"

wtf?

What's the opposite of awesome?...because that is what this is. Students should get a discount on their tuition because of this online push. Honestly this bothers me...what happened to selling a school upon its reputation, or ranking, but myspace? Maybe I can auction off my degree on ebay! Please, I should have just gone to the university of Phoenix and saved myself time and money...because if I were to tell people that I went there they would say, "Yeah, I know that school it was advertised on myspace!"

take down the ads please.
