BSc. is a bachelor of Science, and a BA is a Bachelor of Arts.

So yeah, BSc. is more widely respected.. Because it's science, not literature or philosophy or other BS you don't use in real life. Gun to your head, what's harder and more useful, English Lit. or Physics?

You now get my point.

I've just transferred to Stony Brook University. So far I'm feeling really great about this place. I actually just met with my advisor today and I've gotten everything sorted, so I'll be graduating on time, thank god. I really like the campus. The price is great for instate (5K a year). The only bad thing is that the commute is 45 minutes, and it's an absolute gas guzzler.
What the hell? Seriously? That's so much money.

Another reason I'm glad I live in the Netherlands where you automatically get a full scholarship.
