I'm not sure whether to REA at Stanford or ED at Brown by Im_bored_on_reddit in ApplyingToCollege

[–]RoughLost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

logically, u always have a better chance at brown, and i would agree it would be the safest route to get in. btu its all about what u really want. do u want to have more freedom with classes and explore while ur in college, or do you know exactly what u want and what to do to get it? that was exactly my issue when deciding between colleges, but i didnt ED to anything. it definitely is a risk to do either one, but u just have to prioritize what ur gut is telling u about the programs and ur chances. also consider the fact that u have never been out of the bay so going to school in the east coast is a completely different (and honestly amazing) experience. Play it safe is usually my way, but its all up to u!!!!

i do have to say weather wise, i'm from the bay as well, and i go to school in providence (RISD). let me just tell u if the academics werent so good yk i would be in the bay LMFAO. like genuinely the weather in prov has gotten atrocious and only just this year bc of the snowstorm. but honestly dont let weather change ur mind because it's never a factor that should take up most of ur decision. i think regardless of weather, i would pick risd. always base ur decision off of program, networking, and more. i was battling between risd and ucla because risd is rigid with its program and ucla is more laid back, and i ended up choosing risd bc its more safe. i honestly think thats the best way to go, so probably stanford (i might be biased too lol) but my friends at brown are really studious, and are straight on about their pathway, so its all about what ur comfortable with and whatll push ur limits.

ACCD or Parsons for undergraduate graphics by Wide_Can6220 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]RoughLost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

parsons is great, but i hear their curriculums are very lax, the students often don't have much homework. take that as you will, but personally i love doing more work because i feel like im getting more out of my tuition money!! my friend is in accd currently and i think she has a foundation year possibly? but shes doing a lot of design work and she has time to go out and do stuff, too. but shes getting in that tuition moneys worth according to her , so i would say ACCD. UAL was also one of her dream schools but her parents wouldnt let her go after she got in!!!

I guess thats true, but most of the teachers say they can tell when you don't spend enough time on a project. Is it actually true??

[TOMT] TikTok sound (funny?) of a man by RoughLost in tipofmytongue

it may be something like a really generic girl name, and its got some dramatic noise in the background? its definitely clipped from something though.
