College Meetup Thread?

junior. I have a 3.9 but it's just a drag. really trying to commit to building good habits this year. gym, go to church, class, sleep. feeling so fucking nervous and I don't even know why. really this post doesn't even have a point. wish I could stay comfortable forever - let growth never happens in comfort.

any general college advice guys?

Anybody else from UNC or the triangle in general (Duke, NC State)?

perhaps this sounds counter-intuitive, but go to church more. Mother Teresa made her sisters commit to a second holy hour every day after they complained they didn't have enough time in the day to do their work. Above all you can't give into despair, which can literally be nothing but Satanic in the end. Just keep plodding along, humbly, trying to be on the right path even if you're not progressing very fast along it.

Praying for you my bro, I've been feeling very anxious as well, and I also don't really know why. I'd like to attribute it to spiritual warfare but our brains might actually be screwy; part of me also wants to believe its we've been implanted with general neuroses that we can't track down because >21st century

Fuck off to /soc/ if you're going to do faggy meetup shit.

What makes it the most literary? Otago is a UNESCO city of literature, far more aesthetic and it has the prettiest campus.
Is it likely I'll stumble across them and where? Shit's isolating at the moment.

I’m entering the Trinity dual BA program so I’m over there for two years.

Surprised to see someone from Delco on Yea Forums..not sure why. Going to the community college for computer science

Does anyone go to Princeton here?

Why are there people from the Ivy League posting here?

Why wouldn't there be? It's a place to discuss books and Yea Forums tends to be, or at least used to be, fairly elitist

If you go to Princeton you aren't allowed to talk about how much you hate niggers unless you find another guy who hates niggers too

what major are you in friendo? I did my undergrad at ND as well!

UGA here as well but jfc dude plz change your look

Why would someone smart hate niggers? Only mouthbreathing /pol/tards think like that

I'm bored.
You don't go to Princeton.

Ivy League Yea Forums secret society /when/? Only then can we discuss the nigger question. Yale here

Technically undeclared Arts and Letters, but I plan on doing philosophy. I actually feel comfortable saying I’m in West quad, now that they’re locking dorms to pretty much everyone lol.

Nice I was in Duncan for all four years, south DH best DH. Are you going to be a sophmore then?

Lots of people at Princeton hate niggers.

Quiet, undergraduate pleb.

We'll need a niggerproof code. I propose cursive.

Yep sophomore. SDH for life, literally never have gone to North.

Make a throwaway email so we can connect user

Does anyone here actually go to Princeton or are you from different schools. No one responded to me here

Well if you're not super weird I'd be happy to grab a coffee sometime

I’d recommend ABP in Hess, but apparently they busted someone stealing credit card info there lol. Also I spend my free time on a chinese cartoon internet forum, so I’m definitely not normal.

the meritocracy doesn't actually exist, user

University of St Andrews, but I'm already 90% certain which of my classmates use Yea Forums in general and Yea Forums in particular.

Yes, I'm talking to you. Stop wearing finger gloves and headphones to philosophy tutorials.

Not wh*te so not really a problem there

I don't go to St Andrews but I know some people there. This you Ethan?

I go to Yale faggot. Ivy fags needs to squad up

I know an Ethan who studies history at St Andrews but so far as I know he doesn't take philosophy.

This post is directed at Natie. I know you're fucking on here.

:)

There really is not a good method of communication for such a thing. I am just interested in finding people on campus

If you're going to college GET THE FUCK OFF LIT.

This board is for people who are married, have girlfriends, or have children. Not college grads.

Everyone knows every single person in every serious corporation and government goes on Yea Forums. Not college undergrads.

The next best school I got into was Gustavus. Figured I'd get more bang for my parents buck. Tried for Madison and Twin Cities but both declined me.

boston university

Justify paying the tuition an Ivy charges when you can the same education somewhere else for a fraction of the price.

Utah Valley University here.
Nothing special, but at least it's not BYU

This

Imagine paying 40-60k A YEAR for FOUR YEARS just to go to some private school that will give you the exact same education.

Word. Did my undergrad at Uvic then master's at Queen's. Coming back home for the PhD. Calgary is pretty nice. I've heard decent things about Edmonton

>more bang for my parents buck
Fucking lol. Good choice over Gustavus, Madison or the U would’ve been sweet though

Columbia as well

What is financial aide and scholarships at top schools lmao

>UC Berkeley
>Philosophy

> freshmen

something tells me you won't graduate with both

What did you end up doing?

Lol the proles don't know. Honestly one of the more concerning things about class in modern america.

everyone is so surprised when I tell them it was cheaper than a state school.

>parents make too much to get financial aide
>didn't get good grades in high school because never thought I'd go to college
>8 years later I did go to college
>no financial aide of scholarships for me
Fugg

UVU is based.
starting BYU as a grad student. already had to shave :( for an event

That's what I thought too. Freshman go in way over their heads and realize they fucked up. Not to mention most people change their major a bunch of times.

Why my man? How can you justify BYU over University of Utah?

I’m so alone haha

yeah everyone says they are going to double major as a freshmen. that means they haven't really decided yet.

for some it's impossible. like chemistry + history. at least math tends to be short minimum requirements so it's easy to combine.

I graduate with a double major, but it's two extremely short degrees

they gave me money.

it's actually not as bad as a grad student + married. they only police unmarried people. they don't even know where I live.

Philosophy is actually one of the highest paying humanities degrees. At least in the UK; it's directly after economics.

hello utah bros
also byu here
wanna hang

no thanks faggot. Yea Forums irl can only be cringe.

Well in the U.S. a fair amount of philosophy undergrads end up going to Law School, not sure if that's the case over there but if it is that may skew the numbers higher.

That's not bad I guess. I can't imagine being there as an unmarried undergrad. I'm planning on Utah for my masters though.

I don't associate with BYU people if I can help it. You guys creep me out. You're all clones of each other doing cringy shit like "soaking" or "marinating" or whatever you call it when you put your penis in but don't move because moving means sex and sex makes god mad. And how you'll get blowjobs and fingerbang but still go to church and say you're pure because only vaginal is considered sex to you. It's so hypocritical it's crazy.
No thanks, please stay in your containment zone Provo and leave the rest of the state alone.

Long island gang rise up

based. what major at UVU?

I knew a guy who graduated with a double major in biology and political science, and another guy who graduated with a triple major in biology and some other stuff- although one was a graduate student at stanford and the other was a 35 year old professor at stanford, so they are at the top of the pile academically speaking

>Philosophy is actually one of the highest paying humanities degrees
Only because they then go on to do grad school in something unrelated like law and make money that way.
Actual, pure philosophy majors are probably poor as fuck

:(
catch me at the jfsb
i got married, but never bothered with that
just had sex because, like you said, it’s fucked up

English. Don't judge though, I'm planning on an MPA from Utah after

Your average 18 year old zoomer just starting at school is not that person. Most can barely find their classrooms even after a month and don't know how to log into the library computers

Is the Ethan a freshman from the US?

Say what you want about mormons, but if someone who didn't know anything about them went to BYU and saw the cringy shit they do and their honor code thing they'd never want to associate with mormons ever again.

The*

What year are you and what do you study? I’ll leave a note in a book in the stacks in butler of my contact info if you want to meet up

as a mormon, yeah

How?
c...can I go some place nice for grad school?

well yeah no shit; not everyone taking history is going to end up a history professor and not everyone taking philosophy is going to end up a philosopher. Undergrad is about building a useful skill set; philosophy teaches critical thinking, writing skills, and research skills, which are useful in a wide range of professions, including law.

no

they know how they're just too busy getting trashed

BASED HARVARD BRO

MEET ME LAMONT B2 12 AM

I once heard someone describe BYU people like this: "Everyone is clone of each other and they're all better than you".
You described them perfectly.

Ivy Leagues are extremely generous with financial aid
If you are doing STEM for grad school, then any grad school that genuinely wants you will waive your tuition and give you a stipend - especially at Ivies

C-can I come? I’m a Columbia fag in Cambridge now

kek. BYU is the school for managers. it's for high achieving smart students to compete to the death for mediocre tracked careers. Fewer schools have so many hustlers, who are simultaneously so boring and uncreative.

Accounting is the archetype of mormons followed by management consulting.

the stats one is new. it's an attempt to diversify Mormon ethos into tech. but will probably just be marketing and surveillance jobs for most. everyone's wet dream is to work in sports and be the money ball guy, despite being total comforists themselves.

naropa jack kerouac school grad student here homie what up

>Otago is a UNESCO city of literature
And Baltimore, MD is "The City that Reads." What's your point?

It's too late in the game. I'm a senior. I regret it kind of, though I really enjoy literature and rhetoric classes, but yeah, English is full of fat bitches with problem glasses and blue hair and all the professors are crazy liberal. I'm just about done then I'll be off to do something else so I'm okay with it

If you really have to ask that then you're a retard.

it's ok, everything has opportunity cost. don't make the mistake a lot of late students to, getting into lots of debt or picking a weird careerish sounding major. (tech management etc). pick majors that have been around forever (physics, chemistry, English, philosophy, history, etc) anything new is a marketing ploy to appeal to resume builders and just doesn't have a well thought out curriculum.

if you're serious it might be good to do a year at community college to save money and gauge your interest.

BYU is literally a school for NPCs. Everyone there has no original thought going through their head, only "what can I do to further the church's agenda and simultaneously show off to other mormons how special and 'spiritual' I am?"
And all of Utah County is full of these assholes. They all buy enormous houses they can't afford with their blonde mormon trophy wife that doesn't work but stays at home and wears yoga pants when she goes out while the husband works at some management job in a tech startup in Lehi or a CS job.

Goddamn it, I need to get out of this state. I hate it here.

Just got back to Chapel Hill a few days ago

Yeah consumerism is pretty bad. it's almost a part of the religion. cheaply made huge house and trucks sell like hotcakes here

>if you're serious it might be good to do a year at community college to save money and gauge your interest.
Did you just skip the line where I said I had a "good" degree?

yeah sorry. I don't read, I just give out advice.

>tfw my friend is getting annihilated in E-technik

High ivies: Stanford, Duke, uChicago
Low ivies: northwestern, Vanderbilt, notre Dame, Georgetown, Washington St. Louis, Rice

They hold more literary events and shit because of that title. Also, Otago is one of the most aesthetically pleasing cities this shithole country has to offer, well, a part from the scorched couches, flat party aftermaths and yuck weather that is -- might this not aid good writing?

How about this:
>get into ivy league school with a great financial aid package
>have awful first year due to general burnout and depression, gpa at around 2.5
>dad gets new job accompanied by a massive increase in income
>suddenly no more financial aid, which was all need-based
>parents won't pay the difference in cost, say they need to save for retirement (I can understand why they're acting stingy, but the whole situation feels like a bait and switch)
>now looking at having close to 100k in student loans in my name
>shitty gpa and lack of professor relationships means transferring to even a half-decent school would be tricky, and also means that getting merit-based grants will be impossible

Somehow I can't get myself to seriously consider transferring despite the absolutely fucked financial situation I'll be in if I don't. the best shot I seem to have is Bernie Sanders' debt cancellation plan

Here's the thing, what says is true but if you're coming to Yea Forums for advice on grad school you've already lost.

If I can tell you anything it'd be that you shouldn't pay for grad school unless you're in a true professional school. Also don't come to california, the stipend here is "generous" but not enough to live (as a stemlord, hume is worse).

>tfw germanfag who wanted to do a semester abroad at an ivy
>no exchange programs and you pay full tuition at visiting student programs
Oh well. The other options are UCLA, Berkeley, Maryland, Michigan or McGill

If you’re a STEMfag do Berkeley, if not do Michigan. They’re probably the best public schools in the country.

I hate smug Germans so much. Stay in your containment zone and brag about your free tuition and leave us alone

One of the post-docs in my lab applied there. He said it had a shockingly large number of people with face tattoos. Said it seemed comfy though 3 hrs from a real city

Go to a slac or nah?

Yea. I mean Olaf was the only choice as far as I'm concerned. Really wanted Madison, but I'm quite content in Northfield now.

If you're not a grad student it's kinda meh, but if you've got money hanging out in sf is fun.

Nope, second. Still in the GOP filtering phase, but apparently the third is even worse (according to another friend).

I am a medical student (well, actually a medical resident now) at the University of Alberta. My undergraduate degree was mathematics.

At least you'll learn something.
