Discovering the University

What is a university? We all think we know because here we are at Boise State University--taking classes, meeting new people, dealing with professors, and hopefully finding answers to our questions about life and what we might want to study as part of life's path. Our initial goal in creating the blog, is to bring some discussion to the term "university" offering both concrete explanations of how we see the university as well as more philsophical discussion of what the university is to the thousands of students who attend this university.

The term "antipodology" may, at first, seem like an unusual title for this blog; however, the term means "parts of the earth diametrically opposite; the exact opposite or contrary. Our postings, if we are considering the term "university" from various viewpoints, should prove we truly are looking at an antipodology.
