:-( I don't find this very Object Oriented. It actually builds a User Object, 
so methods on Student will not work.

Also it's bound to be forgotten
form_for professor.becomes(User) do |f|
  f.text_field :name # Oh, I forgot that I had defaulted name to "Prof." in the 
Professor class.
end

The way I've handled this in the past is to do a

class Student
  def self.model_name
    ActiveModel::Name.new(User) # or superclass.model_name if you are feeling 
clever
  end
end
