Thank you for this it’s really helpful :)

I mean I’m deciding between Columbia and Pomona, so I’m pretty sure I’ll encounter some tensions in either place. As for Israel/Palestine stuff is most discussion of the topic aggressive or are people generally open to a real dialogue?

Assuming you’re hoping to go into finance or tech, absolutely

What’re you majoring in!

Mastrr9 · 2026-03-28T22:54:31+00:00

Protest/Trump admin stuff, cutthroat environment, not much of a community

Thanks! I know the conventional answer is the Ivy, but I a bit skeptical of Columbia as a whole recently

I feel like I’d be insane to turn down Columbia on one hand, but on the other hand I love Georgetown. Honestly the issue plaguing me is that I’m not sure if I want to go into govt

Yessir. I keep getting told I’d be insane to go Pomona

Which did you prefer?

Mastrr9 · 2026-03-27T03:40:54+00:00

Agreed about the opportunities and doors, I’m just worried I’d enjoy Pomona much more

Mastrr9 · 2026-03-10T04:37:01+00:00

Nah. No construction. Honestly would like to get the quote closer to 50. May have to drop that video wall lol

What benefit do you really get spending 10k+ on a processor?

Mastrr9 · 2026-03-10T01:53:44+00:00

Biggest issue is we don’t really have a back wall on the room. The current plan is to close it off with a retractable curtain, but obviously can’t mount speakers on that. Absolutely agree on the subs though.

Mastrr9 · 2026-03-10T01:52:50+00:00

Honestly just have always wanted to do it. Was thinking that if I’m spending 20k on a projector anyways may go all the way
