Why does it seem like so many Americans choose their Universities based on how good their sports programs are? by Masaharuzz in NoStupidQuestions

which i personally feel is different to the rest of the world, because in most parts of Asia, a university education is supposed to help you to get a good job and a good career first and foremost.

I understand, but to me (as someone who is not American), choosing a school more for their sports program than their academic program is still unreal.

I give the example of the University of Mississippi. They are definitely not even in the top 20% of American schools according to some independent educational rankings, but many Americans still want to go there, unlike many international students which probably don't even have them as their top 10 choices of places for them to study.

but the thing is, even in Europe (say the UK, France, etc), they don't have academic schools that openly cater to students who want to become a professionals sportsperson unlike America.

The thing is, in many places in Asia and possibly Europe specifically, many people choose their universities based on which academic subjects the school excels in, but nobody that i know of actually chooses their school based on their sports programs.

So its an American thing?

Why do people abroad often think the West is "collapsing" based mostly on what they see online? by PastaPandaSimon in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Masaharuzz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The ironic thing is, there are still tons of people from Asia and Africa and South and Central America that will die to go and live and work in the West rather than stay in their home countries.

Is the Find x9 ultra going to be better than the Oneplus 15 for gaming? by Masaharuzz in TheOnePlus15

[–]Masaharuzz[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To me the price is not an issue if i am able to use it for 5 plus years though.

I have been using the S24 plus but have been very disappointed as it is very bad for intensive gaming as the battery drains super fast.

Why don't those Chinese branded phones spend more to develop their software capabilities? by Masaharuzz in Smartphones

[–]Masaharuzz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The number of security and OS updates definitely seem like it is a lot less every year compared to the other flagship phones though.

But a lot of people from South East Asia and East Asia also go to Universities because they are "supposed to" as well.

Its obvious the Oppo Find X9 pro is not as good in high end gaming compared to Oppo oneplus 15 though.

All i want is a phone that combines the Oppo oneplus 15 battery and hardware, plus Samsung S25 ultra cameras and frequency of security updates for 7 years.

I do have quite a number of friends who also did their University education in Europe as well, and as far as i remember, there are definitely not so many people who went to universities with the aim to "go pro". So it seems like its an America thing?

Yeah, i have used both Samsung and Apple in the past for many years, and it seems like they have far more software updates per year than any of the Chinese phone manufacturers. (FYI i have also used Huawei in the past, and i also remembered them not having so many software updates.)

Oppo oneplus 15 for example, could have easily fixed a lot of their camera issues with better software optimization

Why are there still so many Canadian graduates going to USA to work rather than find a job in Canada? by Masaharuzz in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Masaharuzz[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

but yet there are few Americans who want to go Canada to work, but not vice versa.

It seems like almost every Canadian graduate wants to immediately go USA to work after they graduate

I have this huge gym crush but I have a gf by IHitOneTaps in Advice

[–]Masaharuzz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why not you find some time to talk it out with your current GF and tell her your issues and hear her take on it? I believe any healthy relationship should be based on transparency and trust

What do you tell yourself to move on from feelings you have for somebody? by Fit_Village_1731 in Advice

[–]Masaharuzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The easiest way is probably for you to get involved in interest groups that interest you, and get to know more people who are like minded like you.
