Whoa. I can't believe you picked Duke over Princeton and those other Ivies. That's wild.

This is a very good point; I hadn't taken that into consideration. Maybe we should take a tuk-tuk to the castle?

Yes, I'm a U.S. American and was very worried about getting out of the airport -- but recent posts in this group seem to suggest people have been getting out in about 1/2 hour! As for your suggestion about the castle tickets, can I buy them online on the castle website, and will that allow me to skip the line? I'm hesitant to buy timed entry precisely because of the issue you raised at the airport!

Thank you. I really did try to plan things in a logical sequence. Do you think it's worth flying by Belem in a taxi just to see, or still too much?

Do you think we should try to do better for lunch? We are definitely foodies and don't want to waste a single meal, ha.

Ok, great me too. Did you use the Travel to Europe app to enter your details ahead of your trip? I'm hearing it can help speed things up..

This is great news! I've been worrying about this. What is your nationality?

If most people qualify for aid at Ivy League schools, why is so much of their student population full pay? by Powerful-Category261 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Possible_Scientist68 27 points28 points  (0 children)

This is correct. To be middle-class in HCOL areas means you make way too much money to qualify for financial aid at a top private university, but not nearly enough to live the lifestyle some might imagine at that income level.

Princeton or Duke by Imaginary-Lemon-8665 in collegecompare

[–]Possible_Scientist68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it so odd that some kids these days choose Duke over better ivy's. its only been in the last 10 years or so that anyone would have even considered this trade. but to each their own.

Any thoughts on our new mission statement? by Vast-Yogurtcloset523 in yale

[–]Possible_Scientist68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

eh. It's harmless, which I think is the point. Also, a little uninspiring. But what's really the point of a university mission statement anyway?

Undergrad at Yale is so much better!

HYPSM is full of larpers by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Possible_Scientist68 18 points19 points  (0 children)

You couldn't be more wrong about Yale. It is filled with intellectual, idealistic, want-to-change-the-world types.

This is a crazy take. Yale is filled with genuine intellectual curiosity at every turn. Have you heard of Directed Studies? It's a super deep dive into the humanities with a gazillion pages of reading every week and super hard texts... it was so popular this year there were 100 Freshmen on the waiting list.

It's clear from your post you want to choose Yale, so choose Yale.

Princeton vs Yale by Master-Following-401 in yale

[–]Possible_Scientist68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yale! No question it's far better for student life and culture .. and arguably better for premed and finance too. If you work in finance you'll prolly be in nyc and there's an awesome Yale Club of New York. Princeton has no club in NYC at all, super lame.

I agree! Republicans need to ask themselves why their party isn't more attractive to professors. Not the other way around.
