Any TLers on the college Model UN circuit?

So about 2 weeks ago, I came back from CMUNNY (Columbia university's model UN conference) and wondered who else from TL did Model UN on the college level, since TL is full of diverse and skilled people. =D

Aside from that, another conference is coming up at Georgetown (NCSC) and I was wondering if anyone here is going, and if you guys would be interested at meeting up at some point after committee sessions or during/after the parties or whatnot. We'll figure out or a time and place eventually. =P

If anyone was in the Russian Security Council (or knows of the people there), I was the minister of energy. To be more specific, I'm the freshman that's part of Rutgers's team. ^^;

I used to be, but I quit because I am a science major and it was too much of a time commitment for something that wasn't directly helpful to my career goals. I mostly just hosted conferences anyways because I didn't like travelling. I did a lot more in high school though.

I've heard east coast MUN is a lot different from west coast MUN, though I didn't really hear what that difference was. I had a lot of fun, but conferences were always stressful for me because I didn't really care to research all that much and just relied on my improv skill.

Our school is I believe: Concordia University. At least they have a club for U.N things.

Used to be also, for about a year.

In my experience, it leads to overly idealistic representations of the 'world', where the UN just 'fixes things'. After doing it for a while it felt like I'd gotten all I could out of it (in terms of arguing in public) and moved on. In terms of appreciation for the difficulties posed by reality/history on a countries options, I've always felt it lacked depth and became uninteresting to me as a result.

I wanted to go to CMUNNY, but I haven't been able to be very involved in college MUN as of yet. I was hoping to go to MCMUN in a few months

edit: I'm at William & Mary

I do MUN partially because i find IR topics and whatnot fascinating and because the Rutgers MUN team is full of awesome people. I do realize that there's this assumption of an "ideal" world that factors into this, but it kind of has a D&D feel to it. =P

I want to go to McMUN, but Canada is pretty far from Rutgers, and I don't want to endure a drive that long, personally. =_=

Personally, I feel like MUN gave me an appreciation for why the UN and politics in general are really slow and seemingly ineffective. All those different people with different goals that they aren't willing to back off on, made progress seemingly impossible. There's the solution that you think is perfect and the obvious answer, but other people just disagree and things just don't get done.


Of course, it could be all the people I competed with were completely focused on the delegate awards so they were all hostile to other people's ideas which skewed my perspective.

In American politics, at least from what I've noticed, is that democrats and republicans have their eyes on some sort of "prize" (basically, things that advance the reputation of their party), and they act with so much disaccordance to aim for that "prize," so delegates such as myself doing what we do doesn't seem too far off. ^^;

I'm at Georgetown, not doing a lot of MUN stuff right now due to other commitments. Hoping to find time for some of our 'training' MUNs since I've not been doing it for awhile.
