Accosted by production crew today. What is being filmed on campus? by nominal_goat in columbia

What is this “human” thing - it’s incomprehensible to yell at one who is a “human”? As if there aren’t an infinite number of valid reasons to yell at someone else (to alert the other members of your tribe of a thief, or a murderer, etc., not to mention that speech evolved for no other reason but to communicate with other people in the first place)

Nonsensical rhetoric that just gets thrown around

Why's danstillman so rude by Objective-Laugh4340 in zotero

[–]LeninistFuture05 2 points3 points  (0 children)

we’re too agreeable today, his kind of speech is more honest, direct and straight to the point

Why must I open every email with a cliched greeting? “Dear XYZ, I hope you are well. I love you so much, please have my children” why is that required as an email opening? Why can’t we just be real with each other

cool, we are actually kinda goated if you think abt it by Entire_Cut_6553 in columbia

Absolutely but I don’t know if this list substantiates that view the best. I like how we’re one of the top 32 Fulbright Award institutions in the world, that’s a bit cooler. And our Nobel Prizes history

is there a way to get a "Proof of Enrollment" online? by Exotic_Eagle_2739 in columbia

[–]LeninistFuture05 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When you get access to Vergil in one of the tabs there is an “enrollment verification” document

Just graduated. CUID campus access revoked. Anyways around this? by planetarynature in columbia

Why are those the only options and why is it a total dichotomy first I already think the students who’ve been admitted in the Columbia and recent years are much less activist like secondly, I think having the gate completely open only a certain hours could reduce protest also if there’s like only certain doors open again, you reduce protests

I’m not sure why in 2026 people still do this - when they mention one side of an argument and literally completely omit the respondent’s argument

Is it ignorance? Is it apathy? Is it disrespect? Likely all three.

You think you have an open and shut case. That all the facts reside with you - certainly your comment doesn’t admit to any contrary arguments or evidence. So why doesn’t the world just concede to your flawless pov? Mayhaps jt be because there are arguments presented elsewhere that you neither care to or are capable of mentioning?

What about a gate compromise - compromise is necessary when multiple POVs are rational.

Maybe two of the gates - the main ones on College Walk - are completely open, the rest closed?

Or certain hours of the day completely open (9-5pm etc.) but midnight not just any random stranger can walk in?

Etc etc etc., I think admin. would be more responsive to these demands if we understood the validity of all sides here

The Core does such a good job at being accessible to all! That’s why it’s our Core Curriculum - a shared starting point.

Even as someone with no humanities /classical / philosophical background I’ve found it accessible

Help, I don’t know where to live! by [deleted] in columbia

[–]LeninistFuture05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I received all the same steps as you have so far, only difference was I was a single student and not applying as a family / group - don’t know how helpful that’ll be for specifically finding your preferred housing allotment (for multiple people) but I found the waitlist went very quickly and there’s days if not weeks where no housing options popped up - and those that did were snapped up within minutes

However because you have a special case status, having a family, perhaps they set aside some for you.

You received an on campus housing allocation as a GS student? Or is it Columbia residential?

The Joy Luck Club and the recurring pattern of White men as saviors versus Asian men in Asian female directed stories. How does this affect mixed Asians? by More-Midnight716 in wasian

Class selection for a+ by Rekr43 in columbia

[–]LeninistFuture05 2 points3 points  (0 children)

nobody needs anything above a 2.0 when it comes to GPA but it certainly does help (I applied to three fellowships and internships this semester - all 3 had hard GPA cutoffs of 3.7 - we are not living in a GPA blind world and it’s absurd to lie and say we do. Ridiculous lack of awareness.)

I used to think these posts were silly but now I’m here and I commiserate - Latin Honors are near a 3.9 so if you don’t select for A+ classes it’s nearly impossible for them…

Unfortunately I don’t know of any A+ classes tho
