OP here with a question
I got into Iona and Albany and am waiting on my replies from Ithaca and FIT (I'm a communications major hoping to break into TV). I went to Iona today (it's close AF to my house.) and the program there seems dank AF but on the other hand, I want to be far from home for obvious reasons. I'm gonna enroll into FIT if I get in, and I like Ithaca because I've been going up to the town for years and the program seems cool.
tl;dr Can anyone tell me what each of the unis are like and are the programs/interns in each good?

I'm at mcgill right now. Arts students are fa but most of them are Tumblr or mfa core. The Koreans are fucking fa ofc. The campus itself isn't bad, living is a bit expensive but apartments are dirt cheap. Tons of Americans come to study here so you'll fit right in

Greek life is awful here, but the rich Asians keep it pretty fresh. The actual town of Bloomington used to be more arts-focused so it is reasonable. Seriously though, this place is kind of a cesspool.

University of Delaware
So much basic prep here. I wouldn't rate it highly at all.
>>11127011
I'm on the waitlist, realistically a high possibility of getting in since some kids can't afford it but I might also stick to in-state.
I'm completely stuck between Drew, UCF, UWf & Fordham
>>11127062
Nah I've also been here since birth. It is pretty shit but at least there's Mardi Gras (which, come to think of it is also pretty shit). And I was going to go to Portland State University (I know, I know) but I got accepted here for my outstanding grades. So why not.

I think he just means that it sounds like tumblr: the school
>>11127188
No I wanted to go to PSU (It was my second choice after Berkeley) but since I live in New Orleans and got accepted into Tulane (which is a NOLA private college, pretty revered too, ivy of the south) I thought it would be easier to just stay than move all the way to Portland.
>>11127199
I've never been to New Orleans but Portland is almost the perfect college city. The culture is kinda >tumblr but that means that generally people dress well plus a lot of good music comes through here

I'm at Queen's but got accepted into McGill. McGill is definitely more effay than most schools, especially the Koreans/Japanese.
Like Queen's, there are a few effay people and a TON of tumblrcore faggots, but probably better than most universities. McGill has a lot of Americans.
As for price, its a lot better if you have a relative inside quebec you can cite so you can get in province tuition. Otherwise it jumps up a lot. Montreal is also expensive as fuck to live in.
The good thing about Canadian universities (and virtually all places other than the USA) is that all universities are public so you don't have this stupid Private vs. Public debate and even the best schools in Canada (probably McGill, UofT main, UBC, Queen's, Waterloo, and probably a couple more) still accept 10-15% of applicants, compared to like 1%> at Stanford and Ivy Leagues.
>>11127268
>le stanford has a tiny acceptance rate meme
It's not like they are accepting less people, it's just that every year more and more people apply so they have to turn more away holy fuck end this meme
>>11127243
Nope, Canada, but looks cool famille
>>11127275
Probably what I figured, but I still think its harder at top US schools. I got into basically every top university in Canada at just under 90% average (fuck GPA).
>>11127011
I've got a few friends going there, one is kind of effay

Tell people you are from Nebraska and you will get more respect than someone form California. Ever since SF became too expensive to live in many of the people in Northern Cali move to portland and in turn are ruining the culture and driving up rent. Not to mention the amount of cars on the road has gone up exponentially despite how easy Portland is to bike around/to take the tri-met
>>11127353
>ruining the culture

Not anon but a fellow Gothenburger. The feeling I get from Chalmers is that they try really hard to be cool party animals that drink piss tier beer with a thick layer of awkward pretention smeared ontop. Think stereotypical high school nerds trying to do american college culture. I seriously get the feeling that they don't genuinely enjoy it either; they just do it because "it's muh student culture". Admittedly I know several really decent dudes that go to Chalmers, I just dislike the culture.
Personally I hope to get into med sometime next year in either Stockholm, Gothenburg or Lund. Wish me luck /fa/m

>>11127268
honestly fuck Stanford. It used to be a place of genuine innovation, but the days of FM synthesis, PageRank, Ken Kesey are way gone, replaced by a bloated endowment and a culture which turns everyone into CS bros. Ofc there are some really awesome labs and people still around, but all in all the place is a cancer on society.

>>11127656
LC didn't offer a biology major, only a "natural sciences" one. I'm stuck at RH for my first year. Are there a lot of gays there?
>>11127672
Fair amount. LC seems to have more.
>>11126603
>paying 9k a year for a non-Russell Group
>>11127683
How was the campus "vibe" at LC? It seems like it would feel very commuter like the cuny schools compared to RH's more typical campus
>>11127698
It definitley is more commuter-ish. But if you're really social and artsy, there are tons of really, really interesting people you'll meet there.
RH is more like a typical college scene, and its very cliquey since there's no greek life. That said, RH was awesome for my freshman year and although i stayed there all four years, most of free time during my last three years and especially my last two was spent in Manhattan
>>11127684
Can you blame him? If somewhere like Abertay or Buckinghamshire New is charging £7k still and you can't get into a Russell group he didn't have much of an option.

Oh, that sounds pretty shitty, yeah. That's part of the reason I chose Lund. It has great student culture and loads to do at any given time.
If you don't mind me asking, why are you interested in Stockholm? It seems student culture isn't that great there either.
>>11125888
ITT a lot of armchair strategists.
Guys, I'll level with you: no amount of Internet research is gonna guarantee how your college life went. I tried that stuff back in the day and it didn't work - as much as I had planned for a certain type of social life, shit spun on its head, and I changed radically as a person such that my plans became useless. You shouldn't pick a school based on image or your idea of what your life will be like there - pick one that's highly ranked and hard working and you'll find a social life for yourself there. Similarly, don't pick a school based upon the city it's in - sometimes it's nice to be in a bubble for four years, you develop deeper social ties with great people.
(PS: As a general rule, the coolest people you'll meet are some of the hardest working and nerdiest. Even though your PhD candidates tend to be a little wonky, they tend to be great people, especially in schools that foster their intelligence. Never, ever go somewhere for the ~social scene~ - there's always gonna be a cut of people you'll enjoy being with in virtually any school in the country).
>>11128074
Karolinska, basically. It's ranked very highly internationally, though to be honest, that's mainly because of its research. It doesn't necessarily produce better MDs than any other university in the country either (infact, they're all pretty much equal), but the possibilities for getting into research are greater. I guess it's slightly more prestigious because of that, but it's nowhere near the prestige craze you see in the US with it's Ivy League.
That said, I wouldn't mind going to Gothenburg either (good university, hometown) or Lund for the reasons you mentioned. I'll probably end up ranking them KI > Lund > GU, but at the end of the day it's not a big deal.
>>11128054
Juridicum. Does that count?
>>11127170
What college you at?
>>11128026
what?
>>11128095
Thanks bro. Currently making my decisions and that really helped.
Hope you're happy wherever you are?
>>11126989
Karolinska reporting in
>>11128097
Oh, I thought you were talking about Stockholm University and was a bit confused, as that's not a better school than Lund or Gothenburg and it lacks student culture.
I really wish Sweden had some really prestigious universities like in the US or Britain. It motivates the top students and really makes a difference in how well educated the top percentage of students are. I notice here a lot that the students aren't really trying as hard as in those countries and the gymnasieskola is really lax. Sorry for the rant but it's just something I think about from time to time.
>>11128116
My pleasure!
>>Hope you're happy wherever you are?
I've gone through multiple programs, undergrad and graduate, and still am. Very happy with all of them, even though some weren't even remotely what I expected.
One thing that also might help: while reputation of a school does matter, what you do there matters more. Not getting into your dream school is not a death sentence - in fact, it's sometimes better to be a big fish in a small pond than to be a mediocre fish in a pond filled with Asian sharks cheating their way through STEM classes.

I'm getting an English degree man, no employers give a shit anyway
I don't like the people who ended up at Russel Group unis anyway, for the most part (huge generalisation but whatever, I know a couple Oxfordriends and they're all the whole 'I'm clever and I know it' type). >>11127170 sounds like a fucking awful lifestyle for me, I just want to be comfy and write/read nice things all my life

>Asian sharks cheating their way through STEM classes.

>>11127170
I go to a grande ecole if that counts
>>11128130
>>11128120
Yeah. I've heard a lot of varied opinions about KI, luckily nothing that's even remotely damning. It'd be nice to have a decent idea if the move is worth it since the housing market in Stockholm is absolutely abyssmal and is the big thing that's stopping me from really going for it.
So, I fucked up a bit in high school, and ended up getting into only one university that I applied to, which was a >big10 safety school that I really didn't want to go to.
I've been here a year now and I've been considering transferring - I really dislike it here. The social life is entirely dominated by frat life, classes are easy as piss and I'm not learning anything.
Has anyone had any experience with transferring? Was it difficult making friends / meeting people coming in a year or two after most others?
I have the GPA / resume to have a decent shot at most places I'd apply to now, so I was thinking of reapplying for a few of the schools I actually wanted to go to in the first place.
>>11128186
I know plenty of people who transferred up. They found it nice, apparently. They seemed to refer to their first/second year as a sort of trial period, with their real social life occurring at the school they transferred into.
Do it.
>>11128126
Where did you go to school bateman, if you don't mind me asking?
>>11128186
I'm a transfer, it sucks cock desu, granted they put me on the antisocial ghost-town substance free floor and my roommate is a fucking turbo autist so i really haven't made any friends at all
i doubt your luck is as shitty as mine so you'll probably have a better experience
>>11128195
Sorry, I keep all schools I attended a secret, kinda like photos of me/etc.
But broadly speaking: I've attended classes at about 2 different private universities, 1 ivy, and two public universities, as well as a Japanese university. I spent time at all of them, to varying degrees. It's a bit of a goddamn mess and it's become hell to get transcripts for shit (thinking about applying for an MBA).

I'd be up for that, which preview are you going to? I signed up for the 4/20 one. History at Princeton sounds dope, I'd like to do a certificate in it.
>>11130685
420!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>11129909
Is it really that bad? I don't understand like why. I mean they don't have D1 sports and stuff, but still. And yeah, I'll likely go to LA I get off their waitlist.
>>11130675
well I personally go to edinburgh, but glasgow is a big city with a lot of culture -st andrews is like 3 streets with no train station
>>11130282
I go to a Russell group and I wouldn't consider it top tier. It's not even in the top 50 worldwide.

Actually went to an ivy after undergrad.
To be entirely honest, shit's tough to get into nowadays. I'm white as the pure driven snow, straight, and otherwise pretty normal, so I was told - explicitly, by one of the guys evaluating applications - that I "lost points." Thankfully, my academics (and some careful recasting of myself through essays) helped, but not much. Suffice to say, I'm still salty about it: it genuinely angers me that the fact that I was born in the goddamn south to a normal white family made me automatically less "compelling" as an applicant before even exiting my goddamn mom's vagina.
My personal opinion is that ivies are overrated. The professors are amazing, and so are many of the students, but the delta between those and other schools isn't much. I know a LOT of guys who went to an ivy who aren't doing jack shit with their lives - their parents pushed them hard in highschool, they "made it" into an ivy, and they promptly fizzled out. Conversely, I know people who went to low-tier universities and made something out of themselves. A fancy name does not make you better, especially if you anticipate struggling in your major anyway.
Don't be one of those people who obsesses over status over quality. I know way too many people who - in their late 20s - still brag about their school despite having barely made it through with some shitty liberal arts degree. People like that get made fun of.
>>11130901
Same I'm in Newcastle, Russel Group doesn't mean your University is amazing in the slightest.
>>11125888
UNSW here. It's full of dull people, idiots and ugly people. Seriously this semester made me cherish all the social/well presented or fashionable people I run into at uni. It also made me realise I hate the public for the same reason liberals hate the conservative elite. Damn I hate unimaginative fucks.
>>11130909
This also applies to private schools. I tell many young parents that it all depends on how the family raised the kid at the end of the day. Most families are just fucking lazy and expect tutors and schools to teach kids everything REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>11130245
I'm very popular and I've got a big dick.
This is a top tier university in its country and the people in it all look like white trash
What you all think of Oxford College at Emory University? I plan on going to law school so I think the small, liberal arts environment would serve me well. Also, cost of attendance would be lower than going to my state school. (Not interested in your opinion on the Trump chalk drawing controversy, it's a college campus, shit happens)
>>11130909

Bateman I want your opinion.

psu is garbage, my professors are awesome though. only going here cuz poor and /noscholarship/
impling all colleges aren't more or less the same fucking thing
anyone else?
>>11127324
pitt boys :^)
>>11131286
>>11131296
Sure.
Emory's a solid school. No idea how it interfaces with Oxford. I'd definitely confirm that you could say you got a degree from "Emory University"
As for law school? My usual rants apply here: not a good idea, but if you so choose, definitely try to avoid just doing liberal arts. There are way too many law school applicants with Political Science/Comm/English/Economics/etc. backgrounds, for instance. A small school is an excellent choice (in some instances, it makes you unique), but keep in mind that it might be a bit more difficult to "sell" in the law school application process. There's apparently some sort of list of the importance of various schools w/r/t law school admissions, no clue how Emory fits in.
Assuming you're not shooting for T14 or some other crazy shit, I can see it being a solid choice: get good grades, swing for a scholarship in a good but not crazy law school, and live relatively debt-free doing decent legal work.
(If I were you, I'd shoot to double-major in four years in one BS and one BA. Emory offers dual topic majors, so you could technically extend it into a triple major. For example: you could do Mathematics and Comp Sci as Major 1 and double-major in English and History. Or, if you felt antitrust-y, Math/Econ).

I'm stuck deciding between here and UVA for electrical engineering. I know tech is ranked higher but is it really a better education there?

Yeah but at least you guy's don't feel a pang of shame when you admit to being poly-scum. I go to Sunderland incidentally but I only ever really go out in Newcastle and stay at my mates, meeting people while im out is a nightmare.
"Hey! do you go to Newcastle or Northumbria?"
"S-Sunderland..."
>>11131356
Thank you so much man
>>11131131
Of course they do. Have you been into Hamilton? It's a shithole.
>>11131131
amen, everyone here looks like shit
>>11131356
Is your main opposition to law school due to the over-saturated job market or are there other reasons as well?
>>11127011

Mostly that, but there's more. The debt load is insane and very difficult to manage. Law firms are not responding to the tech boom proportionately, resulting in more unreasonable pressure on associates to do more (e.g. review millions of documents in a week). This also means an expectation of 24/7 availability, remote or otherwise. The whole damn market is also getting a lot more price-conscious, meaning cost-cutting - and the stupidity that comes with it - is getting ridiculous and is making it harder to do good work. It's become one big goddamn boondoggle where old attorneys with little tech knowledge expect to throw money and technology at a problem and see it fixed the next day. I can't count the number of times I've been chewed out because some server in the middle of nowhere isn't able to move heaven and earth.
Even beyond the market itself, being a lawyer is rarely a satisfying thing. I get a lot of satisfaction from my pro bono work, but even then the satisfaction is minimal and anticlimactic. I can't think of a single client - even the ones I've worked for, for free - who thanked me in any way. In fact, for one client, I'm going off to an undisclosed location in the Middle East soon, and it's pretty goddamn likely I'll be strapping up into a warzone. Does anyone care? Fuck no. It's expected I go, keep my mouth shut, and dodge bullets while doing law.
Let's put a fine point on this: I pulled multiple 15-hour days last week and got yelled at for not working more. No-one gives a fuck that I don't have a social life. I've been chastised for pulling all-nighters at home, rather than in the office. I work 150% of the normal work hours of an associate and almost had my goddamn hours bonus ripped from me because ~structural changes we need more money for partners okay~. Fuck Law and Order, fuck Suits, and all of that.

How would I work my way into being a lobbyist for any of the preponderant lobbying sectors like Pharma, Insurance or Banking?
Brisbongs what the fuck's up

someone who actually went to oxford would know how different every college is and how very few actually do that shit
