I met my best friends there;) In fact, just this past Saturday, I had a great IM session with three of them, one of whom I had on the phone at the same time. CA, NJ, and two different areas of SC come together at once. I miss the times we got together there. Oh, and society? It depends on your personality whether you'll enjoy it. I majored in Cinema & Video Production and minored in Interp. Speech, and most of the girls in the Cinema department thought "society" was a waste of time. Probably because we were all more "technically inclined" than the others and only really fit in with each other. Other girls in other majors seemed to like it a lot, though. Pick one with people who don't take you for granted and who talk to you, but hey, take advantage of Rush Week - get all the goodies you can (some people save their 1st buttons to pose as freshmen for several years;)
I just moved out to Los Angeles six months ago, and while I now have a job I can survive on, I still don't have a job in film. Other majors generally have an easier time getting jobs; they don't like for us to "Go Hollywood."
As far as updating via email, I'd recommend checking the LJ FAQ; I don't actually do it that way. Regarding the changes: mostly rules have been loosening, but since most of the rest of the world wouldn't understand why on earth we would choose to live that way, we don't generally publish those rules in public. Four years ago, while I was there, there was a huge to-do over the interracial dating issue, which resulted in scads of articles condemning the university written by journalists who obviously had never set foot on campus. It became amusing to check the campus post office bulletin board for new articles, complete with circles around the false statements.
All that to say, if you want a lot more detail, email me direct, hey? CDLauryl (at) aol.com
