Linguistics, Finnish, Public Transit

It seems I know a few of you all already, but I'm curious what anyone knows about the Linguistics program there, in terms of grad school. Is there anything that the departmental website doesn't say that any of you think is worth explaining, or have you experienced multiple other linguistics programs at other universities? How do they compare?

As for me, I've got one more year of my linguistics undergrad at the University of Minnesota. My secondary focus is Finnish, and somewhat Finno-Ugrian studies, and though the university here doesn't particularly offer Finno-Ugrian stuff, I'm managing quite well on my own to freak and geek out and have supplemented it a bit with courses at the University of Helsinki.

Anyway, reason I ask here is well, it's one of the prospects in the grad school search. People claim I may enjoy Seattle, and well, I guess I wouldn't be surprised.

Two final things: anything that anyone has to say about public transit in Seattle, too? Lastly, elikkä viimeksi: onko yhteisöllä tai yliopistolla suomea osaavia ihmisiä? ;)

uw basketball dawgpack tickets

hi guys, i was wondering if anyone has bought football student season tickets for this year and won't be getting basketball dawpack tickets. The reason I ask is because one of my friends (who goes to Udub) would like dawgpack but didn't get football tickets. also, when you get football tickets, you are priority for getting the basketball ones earlier. So i was wondering if anyone would be willing to buy the basketball tickets (cause I can't order 2) who have priority to get them. She'll pay the person back fully and maybe a bit more. Thanks for reading, hope you're enjoying your summers!

I havent really done anything w/ the hard sciences at college. Dont really plan to. I am just curious. Organic chemistry is notorious (it seems more so than the other required chem classes) for being very hard. why so? (feel free to bitch or vent and stuff)
