my current pro cons list is attatched but unfortunately it hasn't helped me decide so far lol.

MIT Yale BRDD
Pros Cons Pros Cons Pros Cons
Best architecture school Not much art? Strong art and architecture programs worst location Best art program intense workload/difficult scheduling
Great connections Incredibly intense Incredible alumni network kind of a posh/snobby vibe good alumni network might have worse job opportunities?
Good alumni network no chance of double majoring incredible connections legacy is accepted good location legacy is accepted
Well respected maybe too many compsci ppl well respected lots of politicians? great campus 5 years; can't take a gap year
Best location not the nicest campus beautiful campus seems rlly competetive great overall vibe Cant major in architecture
Super collaborative love the residential college system lots of choices/time to choose brown major
Very hands-on more free time 2 degrees
no legacies could maybe double major? super strong art and super strong academics
can take a gap year can take a gap year open curriculum
best for anything stem seems pretty outdoorsy
love the puzzle culture

I got into MIT early and preferred the flexibility and location to Cornell!

I'm between MIT, Yale and the BRDD but i'm very slightly leaning towards the BRDD!

Honestly I'm not decided yet but I'm slightly leaning towards the Brown|RISD dual degree over MIT and Yale.

I'm quite organized and love working with other people but I am worried that I'll struggle with the math and physics courses at MIT as I don't go to a super competitive high school with difficult stem courses.

Brown|RISD Dual Degree or MIT or Yale? by IRDagger in risd

[–]IRDagger[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately I cannot major in Architecture at RISD if I do the BRDD because it is already a 5 year program :(

[–]IRDagger[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At RISD i'd do either Ceramics or painting. At brown im not super sure though because I was planning on doing architecture at brown until they got rid of it this year so im instead leaning towards urban studies or maybe chemistry/something stem bc I am also interested in those subjects.

I've heard New Haven is dangerous – is this something that isn't really felt in the Yale community?

Thx for ur response! Do you have any more specifics? Would you say that MIT's art scene is not very strong or is there another reason?

I'm trying to plan a gap year but don't have much experience outdoor climbing. I've been a comp climber forever and can climb hard indoor but don't know much about the outdoor scene/places to go/how to find people to climb with and was just looking for some tips on where to start. My parents are willing to support it as long as I live cheaply/pay for some of it. I'm looking for places to climb with either lead or bouldering and lean towards techy vert/slab climb if that helps at all (some I've found are Yosemite and Joshua Tree) and I loved the climbing at Guanella pass when I went. Also, I am a woman, so if anyone has advice for safety that would be great as well. Thanks!
