    in short: there's no reason why wal-mart would have consistently lower quality meat than anywhere else

    Man, can you even get a 1 inch thin sirloin steak at Wal-Mart? Hell, can you even get the whole sirloin section aged for 15 days? Exactly.

    Obviously the quality of meat that Wal-Mart doesn't actually have is always going to be questionable.

    compulsory living on campus? That is the stupidest shit ever, fuck that.

    There's major upsides to still living at home (about a billion times cheaper), but it really does hurt your social life quite a bit.
    It's not that tough to overcome if you are in the habit of joining clubs, and in my experience I actually did better socially that way.

    for me it's more that most of my friends are flatting near campus, and I'm away on the other side and don't have a car and public transporation here sucks

    also most of the clubs here are like

    anime club
    ultimate frisbee
    larp club
    D&D club

    surprisingly

    a 1 inch thin sirloin steak is not the only meat in existence

    Man, I don't think we have a D&D club. Then again I go to a Catholic university.

    Then again it's a pretty cool Catholic university.

    yeah, public transportation in central florida is awful, especially compared to the transport system in toronto which is what i'm used to. at least i finally have a car this year.

    being like the only guy without a car during my senior year of high school fucking sucked.

    Join the campus liberal club. Not only do you meet new people, but you also get to meet a lot of people while you force some petition on them (speaking from experience).

    oh man we're kind of more centrist in general than the US, so I guess the international socialists here are pretty much equivalent to the liberal club

    but the other day they were trying to get people to sign a petition to raise the minimum wage to like $14.50 per hour (it's currently 12ish), and even as a borderline socialist myself I realise that's fucking stupid, especially in a recession, it would just mean way less jobs.

    and why would you age raw meat

    To lower the water content of the beef and concentrate the goodness.

    But Wal-Mart is some is some horrible meat. They don't have a butcher, they just buy stuff that's next to expiration and bleach the meat to give its red hue back.

    having to pay more for lower quality lamb and mutton than I'm used to would suck, although I suppose they export all the really good stuff anyway

    Cheap meat is nowhere near inedible, but you can definitely tell the difference if you take a step up from Wal-Mart. Seasoning the hell out of it usually fixes any issues, though.

    But you shouldnt have to do up a good piece of beef. A good tasting piece of beef speaks for itself.

    See Wal-Mart meat is that ugly chick that you're forced to take out to home coming because your cousin keep bugging you to. So you try to fix her up to make her look half decent, even forced to put a paper bag over her head. But the bitch is still ugly, you cant fix it no matter how much you do it up.

    Our dorms are separated by floor.

    When I was a freshman, I lived on the first floor with a bunch of dudes. The five floors above us were all female.

    EDIT: Just remember that in the apartment-style dorms they trust you to live on the same floor as the opposite gender without multiplying.

    It more or less is. I think one university even started doing a thing where they have co-ed rooms.

    Most of the dorms at my university are separated by floor, where you can't get onto the other floors unless someone lets you in.
