university

If you can't get into a top university, try _any_ university and move to a different one for your PhD.

I work now in higher Ed and the culture is much different: surprise, surprise, an Ivy League university likes its employees learning.

If you're frequently passing by a university library, see if they have a shelf where they sell old books.

In practice, you don't actually have to give half the money you raise to a university.

Scientific startups often need credibility, and working with a university all but completely resolves that issue.

If you live close to a college or university, check to see if they have it.

There are resources in the university but they come with overhead and not as much freedom as a VM on which you can do anything.

I don't completely understand this quote -- is money to the university grant money?

Attending and running public/private/university hackathon events is a major activity.

Columbia - University in NYC Colombia - Country in South America I make so many spelling mistakes I hate to correct, but when I ready your first sentence I thought you might have meant the university.

"Long March Through Galois Theory" can either be obtained from Jean Malgoire directly, or from a university library, or from the university of Université de Montpellier (there are reportedly some 20,000 pages of material from Grothendieck stored somewhere in a box).

But a purely engineering job), right out of University, with a math degree and I wouldn't consider myself especially capable.

It appears Columbia is a reflex spelling of the sound of the word - I'm from the UK so haven't had that much exposure to the use of the word for the NY University, so I don't think that's the explanation in my case.
