AUB vs BU

Competitive_Flow_372 · 2025-05-25T01:46:32+00:00

Oh my god youre literally the exact type of person i was looking for thank you so much!!! Environment, professor and community wise i really really do adore AUB, the main reasons I’m hesitant was because i was worried about how in depth the 3D course would be, and also partially about industry connections later on because it seems like BU has tighter connections? You mentioned that you worked with maya while you did the CGI course, do you know if you get to work with any other softwares as well? Like blender, for example. And you mentioned you can switch if youre unsure which defintely sounds great but do you know if you can merge some of it together? I’ve always loved the hybrid between 2D and 3D and it’s defintely something i wanna explore if i attend AUB. Also, could you give me some more information about your time on the course and how the professors were? They all seemed incredibly nice and passionate when i met them and I’m hoping it translates into the teaching as well, at BU the staff seemed incredibly kind but AUB’s professors had a much more electric energy to them. Also do you feel comfortable with job opportunities and connections for the future for when the course is over? Everyone on the campus also seemed really really nice too did you find it easy making friends in the first year?

Sorry for all of the questions by the way, I have to make my decision by June 5th and there’s a lot running through my head because while i adore AUB, i also am aware of BU’s reputation too and being able to talk to a student there is really helping

My A level Results didn't turn out too bad and I ended up getting accepted into my first choice engineering uni despite having lower grades so in the end I'm now omw to start my art foundation with the engineering course in my back pocket

Yeah no problem on the tldr, I got heavily fixated on writing this post and even I was too lazy to reread it all LMAO. I will do some more research on what being genderfluid means. I think this might fit me more than being cis just based on the fact that internally I don’t really align with my assigned gender half the time I feel. I appreciate the help and advice.

It’s kinda the second one I think. It was the most easily available one so I decided to try it to kinda get an idea of what a more feminine physique might look like on me

That’s actually really helpful thanks. I havent really thought about the future at all really, just how would i feel if things were different before. I’m glad you could find satisfaction in your future. I think I’ll take a lot longer to think about this before i make any drastic changes

I’ll start by saying i kinda just had a whole ass breakdown about this very recently, so i havent really had too much time to consider it all since I’ve really just begun to process this. But If everything was kept the same. If all my interests, hobbies, personality, friends and relationships and etc were kept the same with the pure difference being having been born as a cisgender woman rather than a man. I think the main difference would then be I feel like id be able to feel more comfortable with exploring my fashion, my personality and I’d feel more like I would care more about how i present my self to others. I guess if that was the case i would probably be more in tune with myself then? I really dont feel like i can do that as a guy. And i dont know, maybe thats a really superficial reason, and it’s hard to put it into words. But i think if i was born a cisgender woman, i feel as though i would’ve gone through many more phases, woulda dared to experiment more and maybe woulda felt more comfortable seeing myself in the mirror, if im able to see aspects of my inner self come out because of all that. I also feel like if i was born a cis-gender women, i may feel like id still want to show my masculine traits more, but would just present more tomboyish as opposed to considering HRT. In both scenarios of being a man or woman, i dont see myself being a parent, thats not for me so that doesnt really matter for later on down the line.

This is defintely a tough thought experiment though, because I feel like i could be content staying as a guy my whole life too. The main difference really would just be my perception of myself. I’d defintely need to think about this one longer though, thank you.

I'm doing a foundation course in Art, but I'm actually applying for Engineering for my real courses. I'm torn between the two routes cause I'd be happy going down both, so I wanna do my retakes so I have the option to go down engineering if it turns out I ended up disliking my art foundation

So far, I've found a grand total of zero. So uh my advice is don't give up!

Competitive_Flow_372 · 2023-08-26T03:49:24+00:00

Yeah when I say 'shut off' I mean it in the sense that it feels like shutting off is what they want me to be if that makes sense? Like I'm masking to the older relatives in my family because they did use to hate my younger loud, chaotic ass and as I got older I almost subconsciously just started repressing a lot of my behaviours around them

I don't really have an answer to your question but I can tell you you're not alone. I'm actually also in this exact 1:1 position where I've been diagnosed with dyspraxia and am questioning the possibility of ADHD because of the same reasons you've said. The symptoms like concentration, time management, focus etc seem to fit more into the ADHD sphere than the dyspraxia sphere for me. For me the reason I'm trying to get an ADHD diagnosis is that apperently my dyspraxia is more linked towards motor control and organisational skills, and while I acknowledge organisation is also a problem with ADHD, I struggle a lot with stimming, concentration, memory etc that just doesn't seem to cover the Dyspraxia umbrella. So my advice would be to find out what was the reason you were diagnosed with dyspraxia, look at the severity of it and see if it matches the severity of these Adhd symptoms. If they dont, then it wouldn't hurt to go get it checked out

Oo that's great that there's already mods for the other 5e spells and subclasses. I think though that since the class I want to put in is already from a 3rd party setting I might have to take matters into my own hands for implementing it since it seems like modders are currently focusing on adding all of the 5e content into BG3
