How patrician is your uni? Got accepted to pic-related but I'm not so sure of the culture.
My cousin went to that uni, she came back pregnant. lol
I think uni depends on what you're studying desu. My uni has a great English/Philosophy department, but our History and classics departments are a bit lacking.
Inb4 Oxford pasta
This is where I go every day. Anyone else go here?
ayyyy
Not quite charismatic enough for Oxbridge...
First time round I went to one of the meme Oxbridge reject unis (didn't actually apply to Oxbridge, bitch of a career advisor told me not to even though I was predicted top grades in all 5 of my A-levels). Now I'm unironically doing a postgrad sports degree at a university which only cares about sports. Hate how little the people here care about the arts and humanities, we don't even have hipsters/SJWs because everyone is just a sport-mad athlete.
Stem hell.
Honestly it's a very nice place filled with some great people and the opportunities for me are insane. I just wish I had a friend I could talk to about books or art, that's all. Too many of the people I spend time with mold their personalities around things reddit likes.
Not in the slightest
Then again, I am a pleb
I'd love to go to an expensive out of state /lit/ school though
i just checked mine and it ranks 501-550 in the world

who /mcgill/ here?
>>7879214
i got memed into LAC, it's one of top 5 in the US. i hate it here, it's full of stemtards. our top 3 majors are: Math, CS, Economics. Chem and Bio are close behind. there are <10 English majors per year. there are literally zero serious writers. if i knew LACs were so culture-deficient and so fucking pre-professional, I would've taken that financial gamble at columbia or princeton. idk maybe i just got unlucky.

Well, I would, but that doesn't answer the question.
>>7879693
It's true, UBA is one of the best universities in latin america, so every latino wants to study there. It's free, migrating to Argentina is trivial and its level is comparable to the best US state colleges, but likely not in league with Ivy ones.

What's the best by your estimation?
inbf >>7879656I've been very impressed by Classics at Waterloo
>>7879676
nano science. It's a new program but it's an applied physics-chemistry specialization.
Life sci is pretty amazing here but it doesn't really matter if you're trying to get into med school anyway. Western life sci is pretty Lit from what I've heard. the Eng is definitely amazing here, you're looking at a mid nineties average IIRC? I got accepted into the nanotech eng as well so I'm just basing it off that.

I'm in my final year. I'm filled with remorse but I'm clawing my way through an Econ degree to postgrad Law at the best local Uni, on top of taking the CFA exams, with sights set on an eventual LLM at somewhere like LSE. I'm gonna make it ... right?

>>7879771
Sculich kids are generally cunts, but I can understand their desire to distance themselves.
i do the same thing desu, we engineers call ourselves Lassondians instead of York students. As pretentious as it sounds, it carries more weight than "York Engineering"
>>7879778

Do english people dislike foreign students? Real talk
>>7879826
I want to specialize in cyberlaw or alternatively do an LLM in Switzerland which would allow me to practice in SA (undergrad) as well as Switzerland then in 10 years when things are politically tumultuous here due to the massive uneducated/unemployable/lumpen youth demographic I'll start a private wealth firm and get people's money into safer places.. Alternatively I stay here do the Bar and practice and do an MBA at like 30.. Partners at law firms here can still pull in $1000 000 at like 45.. I have a Swiss passport so studying there would also be cheaper..
And also I though an LLM was only a solely pedagogic degree in the USA? In the UK it could help out in a legal career
>>7879834
Depends, mainland Chinese and Indian people are generally disliked on the whole. But everyone else is well received so long as you actually try and socialize with English people. International students have a tendency to flock together which is super off putting because it's hard to get to know them. But like I said, if you try to become friends with English people, they're receptive of that. Everyone wants that exotic foreign friend.
That being said, if you're North American or a lesser thought about European country you'll have an easier time of it.
>>7879842
No, I'm doing law in the UK right now, in both countries it's just for academics. Very few firms will care about your LLM, just your JD or LLB. Actually most of my lecturers only got their LLM's after years of practicing and got bored of it.

How is it there? I was pretty dead-set on attending for 2 years, gaining CO residency and then transferring to Boulder for in-state tuition. Had a fat scholarship and everything.
Last minute decided to stay in-state and now go to pic related. It's a "public ivy" and the intellectual atmosphere here is great, especially in my department (philosophy). However, we are also consistently ranked as one of the top party schools, and are in the Big 10 so we also have more than our fair share of drunk bros and sluts that don't care about school whatsoever and are just there for their business/nursing/early childhood ed degree. Madison is a great city, though, and I'm glad I'm able to attend here while it still has its prestige, as a whole boatload of problems are hitting the UW system right now.

>>7879867
Interesting. Part of me feels I just need to claw my way up but with a CFA - I should be sorted for a mid tier finance job. Do you not think an LLM would add any credence to my resume. Oxford also has a MFL (Finance and Law) dual programme and I think if I claw hard enough it could be an option.. I can score over 700 on the gmat with ease. Also do you plan on practicing in the UK? What are your prospects?
>>7879979
>he'll find a job
if u just want a job why don't u go to plumber school, it's cheaper and easier
>>7879357
Ooh. That's going to have to change. Diversity is our strength Anon, it's 2016.
>>7879987
I'm toying with a lot of options right now, but I'm currently getting a 1st in everything at a mid to high end Russell group uni.
The CFA is a good way to go, depending on how ambitious you are, you can get a decent finance job with that and be set. But within law, LLM is an after thought for people who want to do research or did badly on their LLB. It never helps to round out your resume, but a LLM from any uni isn't going to be a game changer unless it's from Oxbridge.
Bearing in mind, I'm no expert on any of this, so don't let my ramblings affect your decision making.
>>7879989
>good paying job
At least quote properly retard. I don't know about you but I wouldn't be comfortable on a plumber salary and with the repetitiveness of the job. I agree though, if you only want to make a living there's easier ways.

Thanks. Yeah ugh CFA is hardcore but it will void the fact that I go to a shit tier Uni.. I could also do a postgrad in wealth management at a slightly better triple accredited biz school here and try get into an MA in Finance/Bus Man in the university of Zurich.. I like the idea of law though.. It's an interesting profession and many of the top entrepreneurs/captains of industry in SA come from either a Legal or Accounting background.. I know someone from my Uni who got into instead but that was before it was cucked.. Now it's a hellhole..
All I want is to get to Europe and be wealthy doing something I find purposeful.. I've given up on SA.. Every time I have hope for the country it feels like Stockholm syndrome.. Also in 2030 white people will only make up 2% of the population or something and gibsmedat economy will be in full effect.. Also sick of living behind military grade security.. The only frustrating thing about Law is that it ties me here if I want to practice it which could be a good start but I want to be in Europe with some money saved at 30.. Know a couple people from Nottingham who now have Law degrees and are doing well.. I'll see..

I think my college only encouraged people to apply if they were guaranteed to get in, so that they could say '75% of our Oxbridge applicants got accepted' on the prospectus, and shit liek that.
Anybody here go to Skidmore or Tulane? I've got a choice between the two and I'm learning towards Skidmore because I don't want to have to pay for a flight to New Orleans to be around rich white southerners all day.

Hi! I too attend UW Madison. Is the philosophy department good? I'm looking into doing that for my undergrad.
Hey Plebeians,
My name is Oliver, and I hate every single one of you. All of you are poor, uneducated, layabouts who spend every second of their day refreshing inane threads. You are everything bad in the world. Honestly, have any of you ever gotten any elite, wealthy Hermione-esque pussy? I mean, I guess it’s fun mocking people because of your own insecurities, but you all take to a whole new level. This is even worse than jerking off to amateur theatrical productions of Jane Eyre.
Don’t be a stranger. Just insult me with your finest wit. I’m pretty much perfect. I was captain of the debating team, and Editor of the student cultural magazine. What forms of culture do you partake in, other than “spamming Kafka threads”? I also get straight A’s, and have a wealthy patrician girlfriend (She just praised my poetry; Shit was SO bloody choice). You are all plebeians who should just kill yourselves. Thanks for listening.

>>7882190
Umm, pardon me but do you know what university I attend? If not please take the time to do your research before punching above your cognitive weight.

Hey! Another Yellow Jacket here. I'll be your friend and talk about books with you.
>>7881794
I wish I'd applied to Edinburgh.
Currently living in London and I hate it. Too many niggers, shitskins and slavs here.
are there any lit qts in college? high school senior in a slump here, need reassurance
>>7882249
Umm...I don't know if this is what you're asking but I've been described as "cute" by plenty of guys and I'm studying Lit right now at Bennington (going to Yale for my MA though!). I was sort of quiet and studious in prep school (people called me Hermione like all the time haha) but really when you go to college, or at least one as good as mine, you're generally surrounded by people who are just as cultured and interesting as yourself. I mean in like relationship terms college is definitely the place to be if you're looking to meet someone as intelligent and open-minded as yourself. And since Freshman year is a great time to sort of explore yourself and try new things you're likely to meet girls and guys just as adventurous as yourself in that regard. Over the past two years I've literally sucked more dicks than I can count on both hands. I've been the protagonist in three gangbangs (once all black XD!) and pretty much just got all the wildness out of me that had been stored up for so long. I've been pissed on, eaten guys asses, been slapped, choked, manhandled, sodomized, forced to vomit, it's just so liberating to just get it all out of your system and move into womanhood ready to settle down with a guy knowing you won't have that nagging feeling of "I wish I'd just tried new things...". The guy I'm with now actually introduced me to /lit/. He's just the best. We do all sorts of cute things together. He's so shy! I was the one who had to approach him and pretty much ask him out. I'm his first eve girlfriend! Aww! But we're already talking about marriage and I think he really does love me. He's so cute!

This place is objectively shit, with culture informed by a union of stemtard manchildren and liberal special snowflake children--a far cry from the glory days when Pinecone, Bloom, and Nabokov were all associated with it.
I'm a degenerate so I enjoy it desu

Annapolis
hah, I've got you all beat in plebbiness: Truman State University. It's in Missouri. It's also a dull hell that it's taken me all year to even begin to figure out how to effectively deal with.The trick is to not give a fuck, obviously you want to do well in your studies, but seriously, do what YOU want to do, say what YOU want to say, be your own. The people here are massive pussies and the most they'll do is screech at you and tell an S.A. that you're mean. If the people like you and find you interesting, they will come, if they don't, trust me, you're better off for not knowing many of them

I went to ND. What do you wanna know?
>>7882367
I wish unis had a screening to filter out children, like an Adult 101 course to weed them out. This isn't going to happen, of course, since it goes against the costumer service and coddling model of unis nowadays: the costumer is right, pass him or get fired.
>>7882416
I'm not sure what you're saying, I've been on 4chan long enough that I can no longer tell the difference between sympathy and bantz
Literally the least /lit/ school in the world. Full of stemfags that unironically hate books. They don't even have any English classes. Mine from HS transferred in as general electives. Worst decision of my life.
>>7881443
My good friend went here and I visited frequently. Can't speak for the academics but everybody I met was a pretentious faux-intellectual who regurgitated pitchfork articles and what their philosophy 101 professors teach them. I know that kind of bullshit comes with the territory, but you're more likely to have a good college experience in a setting like nola than you are in bumfuck upstate new york where it's only exciting in the summer when classes aren't in session (i'm from the area so I can rep)
OT, i went to pic related for the theater department but ended up picking up a double major in lit studies because the professors were actually really knowledgable and I read a lot of interesting and diverse work.
>>7882477
George Saunders, top based living author, went here, don't be so down brother

I hate everyone I met who attended Sarah Lawrence. Bunch of hipster faggots who hang out at the KGB every night pretending to be Marxists.

You can say that about most colleges not in the deep south though. Especially liberal arts colleges. I'd rather have that experience in Berkeley than most other parts of the country tee bee kew ache mi famiglia
>>7879259
That;s the accommodation by Somerville, right?
Berkeley has pretty good research. John Searle is there, one of the most important philosophers of the last 100 years. But it's full of retarded morons and SJW cucks who have their shit turned up to 11.
>tfw my school is just rednecks and dumb whores that want to teach elementary school
I don't anyone goes to a more pleb school than me.

Cortei toda a forma de entretenimento que não leitura/música, esporte ou socialzinha de sexta-feira. Os estudo estão cada vez mais puxados, e olhe que ainda estou no ciclo básico. Evitar a TV e o 4chan ajuda pra cacete.
Um dia desses eu saio do campus aqui de Joinville e nos esbarramos aí na Capital. Podemos conversar sobre literatura melhor que os maconheiros de letras e os autistas de exatas, anão :^)
I don't even know these schools
How do people even keep track of what us good and worth it?
>>7879424
ayyy I have a ton of friends who love it there. Looking there but leaning towards OSU for undergrad and then moving to a bigger school for grad
>>7882642
Hahaha what the fuck man just transfer to Madison or Milwaukee already

Going there next year. I hear their philosophy program is second in the country.

>The students however... I literally get aids everyday from the omnipresent sjw atmosphere.
If im remembering correctly, york has the largest social sciences faculty in canada, so that's your reason why.
>>7883054
bigger problem with york is that it's 98% whitewashed suburb muslims and lazy dyke hag professors who couldn't get tenure somewhere better. it leads to a limp-wristed activist "culture"
same with UofT mississauga, it's just a muslim campus
uoft st. george is the FOB chinese campus but at least they're too culturally chauvinist and ghettoized to get into the SJW shit. mostly just quiet.
not sure about scarb tho

I wish I were you
I go to a Junior/Community College. I got into some of my "dream [read: meme] schools" but by the end of high school I was so sick and tired of the joke that the American education system had become in my eyes. I decided that, instead of choosing whatever school had the most prestige, like 90% of my Korean peers did, I wanted to do what I thought was best for my future. So for now, I just read, work hard on my assignments, work out, write in my free time, work and save money, all so that I can have a more enjoyable and fulfilling college experience when I transfer, hopefully to MIT. Ask my pleb self anything if you're still a high school student interested in the college search.
>>7883174
You should write up some of your basic thoughts for a pastebin or something.
I can't use them myself but /lit/ has so many people in positions that you could probably shed wisdom on.

Not patrician at all.
>>7883076
>98% whitewashed suburb muslims
muslims make up < 5% of the york population. so no not really. I don't really see that as a problem either, they aren't the ones attending social science classes.
>>7883190
I might give it a shot if there is interest; I'm pretty passionate about how I feel the US (and somewhat Canadian) education system is failing its students so I don't think it would be difficult to get something typed up.
I pretty much was on the Ivy track for a long time, preparing for SAT's, taking as many AP/IB classes as possible, etc. until I realized that it wasn't really what I or many of my peers wanted. Now I just feel bad for people who let their families dictate their lives.
>>7883213
Don't you still need to be on that kind of grind at junior college if you want to transfer to MIT though?
>>7883195
Thanks for fucking up my bracket
>>7883233
lol you're welcome
there were people that were legitimately sad, kinda funny
>>7883223
Honestly, it's completely different. I have no problem with a strong dedication to learning, but I came to realize that virtually nothing in the "Ivy track" is for learning - it's more about who can do best in preparing to take a test. By contrast, every one of my classes at my JC is dedicated more to understanding, because there is no "end game" beyond simply learning the material.
The primary difference is basically that, in one, you study a test for a year, then take the test to evaluate how well you can do on the test, while in the other, you learn what you need to further your knowledge with no ulterior motive than simply improving upon your own skills.
University of Birmingham
I'd rate British universities in five tiers:
1. [Tip-top universities]
>Oxford
>Cambridge
>Imperial (for STEM)
>Durham
>London School of Economics
>St. Andrews
>Warwick
2. [High-tier Russel Group - vaguely equivalent to Ivy League, although not quite]
>King's College London
>University College London
>Lancaster
>Leeds
>Surrey
>Exeter
>Bath
etc.
3. [Mid-to-low-tier Russel Group universities and high-tier ex-polytechnics]
>Birmingham
>Nottingham
>Sheffield
>Glasgow
>Manchester
>Edinburgh
>Queen Mary, London
>Liverpool
>Royal Holloway
>(Uof) East Anglia
>Loughborough
4. [Good upper-tier ex-polytechnics]
>Leicester
>Aston
>Reading
>Heriot-Watt
5. [Low-tier ex-polytechnics]
>De Montfort
>Northampton (unless you're going for criminology+'police sciences')
>Nottingham Trent
>Lincoln
etc. etc.
6. [Kill yourself tier]
>Anglia Ruskin (In Cambridge)
>Oxford Brookes (In Oxford)
>>7883247

>>7882504
>bumfuck upstate new york where it's only exciting in the summer when classes aren't in session (i'm from the area so I can rep)
Speaking of upstate oblivion:
Is Hamilton College /lit/ approved?
>>7883284
Not really; the learning may be more strenuous but the intent is to give you a deeper level of understanding, not to make you do good on a test that you prepared for and which you will immediately forget the contents of.
>>7883297
But obviously I can't comment with 100% certainty since I've never attended myself; however, I would say the primary difference between college/university as a whole in comparison to the upper-echelon of high school is that you are supposed to be learning and internalizing the material in college for the purpose of implementing it in your career, while that's not really the purpose of a high school that only prepares you to take a test. Obviously, not all schools are like this, but the school that I attended, which happens to be one of the highest-ranking in California, was.
>>7880844

>>7881794
st andrews were rude to me on the phone when i applied :(
>>7883317
That's what I mean, if college as a whole is different from high school, why go to junior college instead of once of the other schools that you got into?
Patrician level about 6/10
I'm doing medicine at St. Andrews.
I think I actually want to end my life.
