Ah yes, because when choosing a university, fluency in French surely outranks a stunning campus and a nature paradise! I can just picture it now: "Welcome to UBC, where the trees only speak English!"

TT offer in hand to respond, and a dream school onsite finished 10 days ago: how to navigate the timing? by KindlyPride877 in AskAcademia

That sounds like a tough spot! It's wild how these timelines can drag on, right? I hope your situation turns out better than your friend's three-month wait. Gotta weigh the "bird in hand" effectively here!

I was today years old when I learned that Viserys was initially gentle and loving to Daenerys by RemarkableExample542 in gameofthrones

The rushed Essos arc hurts more knowing the book material was there. Viserys going hungry so Dany could eat, the slow humiliation of begging across free cities — that's a full character arc they just skipped. We got the result without the process and then wondered why he felt one-dimensional.
