So then your post is plagiarism since you don't site your English teachers? Your post is fundamentally different because they taught you English. Of course it isn't, "close imitation" is the key. Then where does close become too close? She probably did copy the examples, I doubt two independent people would come up with the exact same list of examples unless both plagiarized from a third source.

In my analysis, I did a google search for "colleges by student population" and got this as the top link: http://www.happyschoolsblog.com/largest-us-universities-by-student-population/ http://www.happyschoolsblog.com/largest-us-universities-by-s.... The list was created from 2006 data. One thing to notice, I skipped over Texas A&M and University of South Florida and picked up Penn State (because I'm from Jersey, and half of my high school went there). The TC article article also omits these two schools, and adds in UCLA and USC. (The author is a USC grad herself.) Even if she did find the same list, why also skip over A&M and USF? a more accurate list would have come from more recent data: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_colleges_by_enrollment http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_colleges_... Yes, it's possible, but I think pretty unlikely she'd independently decide to drop the same two schools that I did, assuming she found the same source.
