Рекламный ролик в Hunter звучал так:
- American dream!
- Creativity!
- Diversity!

Мне превиделось, что переводится это так:

- Diversity! - We make ends meet!
- Creativity! - We help you to make ends meet!
- American dream! - We teach you to make ends meet!

As I said, Hunter reminded me of Soviet era social institution (interior shabby, clerks laconic border rude, copy machine not working, visitor being sent to other building to make a copy, other building being closed for window repair). Well, I suppose it's a good place to get education with enough opportunities being offered - in case you are very poor, very self-motivated and very aggressive in getting what you need.

That reminded me, that we are the 5th largest university in Canada, in the oil-rich, richest in Canada province, and my wife's department eliminated phones in professor offices to save money. Now there will be one phone in the general office, and emergency phones - one per floor.
