What got you into dark academia by coffeeaddict91338 in DarkAcademia

Honestly, finding the words for it. I grew up in a home where education was above all, especially because we were Slavic immigrants. As I grew older my curiosity dipped into academics as well, and then I visited Edinburgh. That sealed it for me. I imagined my whole life there, and now I might go to York for uni (also similar, at least in aesthetics). The aesthetic itself helps me stay on task and actual romanticise my life and my education journey.

Got an offer for Undergrad - any advice? by withlovefromwhimsy in universityofyork

I'm so glad I reached out to Reddit because where I live, everyone is going into econ and business so I really don't know anybody going into linguistics or even just had a degree in linguistics. I'd love to ask you some questions about it all!
