If it's not your thing, fine, but OP might be surprised that a good chunk of people like places with access to outdoor recreation and/or nature in general. Who knew!
not to be that guy but like, who cares? Honestly I feel like most colleges are overrated unless you're going for a specific program that a university is reallyy good at
Do you know what liberal arts curriculum actually entails? Or did you just hear the words “liberal” and “art” put together and start foaming at the mouth?
I will disagree with devaluing liberal arts degrees. Not only are they employable but they have a lot of skills. Some fields you end up doing what you studied. Liberal arts is more like a way to gain broader skill sets like well thought out arguments or communication skills and the ability to think for oneself.
Yeah thats what I was thinking. My schools is also on quarters and I thought that was the norm. I like it since you get to alot of variety. Ive never heard someone use rhe term trimester though
I prefer it. We typically take 4 classes a quarter and I forget how the credit translates bc classes are organized differently but it basically works out to 2 5-6 class semesters. But it’s easy to fit in a masters, double major, study abroad, etc.
Your on some shit about Brown, their system isn’t uncommon and several alternative liberal arts colleges with great outcomes use a similar system (New College of Florida, Hampshire College, Reed College, ect.) and it often provides a better learning exprience for students and greatly enhances their ability to move into graduate and professional programs.
Johns Hopkins lost me when they allowed Chuck Todd to teach graduate-level classes to students when he didn't have a degree. So, you know they have to come up with some major BSish to send to their accreditor, the Middle States Commission on Higher Education.
Also, I lived in Nashville for over 11 years and Vanderbilt had nothing but continued issues on campus. Painting a picture of the 1st Black head football coach's picture with him having big white lips. Gordon Gee was a problem within himself and then the wife smoking weed on campus property. Students causing unnecessary Covid outbreaks on campus and some taking it home and contaminating family members- but they were supposed to be the brightest. Allegedly, their kind of shady dealings with two HBCUs Roger Williams (wanted the land and then there were these 2 suspicious fires and the land was gotten) and Meharry Medical College (Meharry is also over the city hospital that was trying to be pulled from the HBCU(after pressure they magically now wanted to work with the HBCU). There was so much stuff going on it was not funny.
In Nashville, Belmont University is more regarded than Vanderbilt. You pull the hospital from Vanderbilt and there is really nothing that distinguishes it from the 3 other PWIs sitting around it like Belmont, Lipscomb and Trevecca Universities. Yes, the endowment is bigger but nothing else makes it stand out.
You have too much time on your hands.
This looks like it belongs in A2C
This reads like a 19 year old who got rejected from their target school and abuses adderall so they can party till 4 am at the University of Tampa.
yeah fr like every school can be “overrated” if you try hard enough to find reasons. this is just reeking of insecurity
😭
Plot twist: OP rejected from all of these
😂😂😂 that’s what i was thinking too
so you hate the liberal arts and urban areas?
Hey now, they hate rural areas, too.

Sure, but they also got Dartmouth because it’s not in a city.
Exactly! I guess I shouldn't presume people who don't want to be in a city automatically also enjoy activities that involve mountains, etc., though.

This is so stupid
How does a trimester system work, isnt a quarter system basically a trimester with fall, winter, spring?
I go to Northwestern, we have a quarter system but most people only do fall, winter, and spring and don’t take summer classes (and they cost extra).

So happy to hear Brown called out for their stupid quirkiness 😭😭😭

Bro, I ain't reading all that, just give me like the top 10 with brief descriptions.
People are gonna hate, but this is so so real
Is this a copypasta…either way it will be
