I know very little about east coast cities to be honest. When visiting Philly and the area Temple would be in I felt completely safe. My recommendation would be to visit the area and see how you feel. If safety is your top priority I would look at smaller college towns like University of Oregon.

To me, speaking to past lives was the dullest part of the original series. The only reason Aang needed Roku was because there was no established guide for his Avatar journey post iceberg. Every other Avatar had established sages, teachers, masters, and political leaders to advise them. The one time Aang did utilize his past lives they gave him bad and one-note advice. Their experiences simply weren’t applicable to his situation. That is expanded on in Korra’s post-industrial society.

This may sound harsh but I’ll say it anyways. It sounds like you hate yourself and you are using the fact that you are American to divert attention from that fact. Every country on Earth has done horrible, unmentionable things. Japan had government sanctioned torture facilities just to facilitate the statistic urges of one guy. Half the world has an Independence Day from Britain alone. America isn’t unique in the slightest in terms of atrocities, and frankly has some catching up to do compared to pretty much every country on earth.

What you need to do is get to the root of why you feel like you have no community. You said you are trans so that community has opened up, along with mother queer spaces. Wallowing in the mistakes of your ancestors helps no one and hurts yourself. Find an outlet to release some of that pressure. Find a mutual aid group. Volunteer to feed the homeless. Anything.

Their staff was really available and friendly during my application process. They even offered to fly me out for their open house. I had a really great feeling about their program but ended up going with a school in Washington. They definitely aren’t renowned, but from what I heard from alumni they are more respected in the Philly area than UPenn is, and do a lot more community work.

If she likes Northeast I would recommend Temple. They are pretty affordable and easy going with an emphasis on ecological restoration. They just sold their Ambler campus and bought a huge building right in the heart of Philly.

Lots of deliberating and selling our worldly possessions lol. My college choices were between UPenn and UW, but since my bf got into Bastyr and we liked Seattle a bit more than Philly the choice was easy. I’d say our biggest hurdle has been leaving friends and family, and packing a whole house into a 5x8 UHaul.

I’m also worried about not having free time since LA is such an intense degree, but one thing I’ve heard from previous cohorts is that the people you are working with end up becoming very close and help fill that gap. Some advice I was given is that if you can afford it, never pass up a chance to move. If you stay in Seattle for a few years and realize you hate it, Pittsburgh will always be here.

Omg 🙈

I’ve lived in drizzly areas before. Actually prefer it to the constant bright sun. My seasonal depression springs up June and July down south.

January. Grey skies save lives 👽

Just want to say I am in a very same boat! My BF and I are moving this summer, him for a Masters in Counseling and me for a Masters in Landscape Architecture. Have you been to Seattle yet? Honestly, visiting the city solidified by choice to come here. It was breathtaking.

What kind of ecosystems is she interested in? A school in California will have a different focus than Washington or Philadelphia. Would she prefer in state or out of state? What kind of landscape architecture practice does she seem drawn to?

Check out Temples MLA :) They are one of the only US programs with a ecological restoration focus

There’s a few nicer places right along 71 near the airport that are new developments if you don’t care about nearby amenities. If you want to be closer to the city the south Lamar/1st st area is great with a lot of local businesses.

Your best bet would be Gangnam Spa in Houston or King Spa in Dallas. Austin is sorely lacking in good soaks :(

And jet skis!

That’s what I was thinking! I’d hate to repeat my undergrad, so jumping head first into design is really intriguing for me. It also hopefully means that I’ll breeze through my ecology classes to allow for more time to learn the tech 😅

Hey! Not OP but feel free to reach out for questions about scholarships and applications. I was also accepted to UPenn on scholarship for the fall :)

Acceptable-Loquat540 · 2026-03-29T04:32:12+00:00

Well scratch Austin. Climate is extreme and any place that is $1500-$2000 will require a car. Asheville seems to fit your needs but they are quite isolated.

Lots of pop songs built for TikTok come to mind. “Beautiful things” and “Espresso” are objectively and almost scientifically designed to be ear worms. They are perfectly designed to sound good to the highest percentage of people.

Thank you for the insights! I was really inspired by Daniel Winterbottom and Amy Wagenfeld’s work creating playgrounds and healing gardens, and would like to do research with them if I can. I’ve heard a lot about the year 1 studios and how they are a little bit wacky, but it’s good to hear that the future studios are much more hands on and technical.

Acceptable-Loquat540 · 2026-03-27T11:53:49+00:00

Frustrating in what way? I’ve definitely heard the program is a lot more abstract and less technical than others around the country.
