Yeah, I noticed. Which does not mean that I have to accept that.

yes, but apparently you first have to move to such a place before you

Somewhat related: One of my colleagues is very much involved in an 
on-line biomedical engineering curriculum (http://www.evicab.eu/). They

on-line exams without being a student on a university.
