https://padlet.com/sbluth2/7syuur5a91vs8w0f In your group, discuss similarities and differences between Midwestern U. and NCSU. Consider some of the following topics: easy/hard majors, Greek life, "on ramps" for professional programs and opportunities, social life, hooking up/dating, gender, parental roles and resources, scholarships and other support, etc. Place a note under the appropriate column for each new similarity or difference. Each group should have at least a couple notes under each column. Finally, when you receive the cue from me, discuss whether you think that students at NCSU will fare better or worse than students at Midwestern U. in terms of upward social class mobility. Provide a summary of your discussion in the last column. en-us 2020-09-28 14:49:02 UTC 2020-10-05 16:15:51 UTC hello@padlet.com ajkarns1 https://padlet.com/sbluth2/7syuur5a91vs8w0f/wish/803609156  large public university, greek life present, tailgates, social scene, easy majors allow party lifestyle ]]> 2020-10-05 15:52:33 UTC https://padlet.com/sbluth2/7syuur5a91vs8w0f/wish/803609156 plknight https://padlet.com/sbluth2/7syuur5a91vs8w0f/wish/803609538 NCSU is Public and MU is Private]]> 2020-10-05 15:52:37 UTC https://padlet.com/sbluth2/7syuur5a91vs8w0f/wish/803609538 cbcrumpl https://padlet.com/sbluth2/7syuur5a91vs8w0f/wish/803612672 both research universities
