I went to York for one year for Criminology. I didn't feel the school was too awful but not exactly ideal and it doesn't really give me that comfortable university feeling. Now I'm studying insurance at some college and not liking it much. Such is the life of someone who would like to study a humanities but doesn't have the practical skills or effort to get a job.

I finally caved and became an English major, and I'm pretty sure I can't deal with the real world. I always took an English course each term because it was what I was good at, but always worked on other things at the same time to try to find something else, because I knew I wouldn't find a job. Sociology, computers, even animation, but I kept on giving up or realizing I was shit. I was always just an undeclared student, and eventually I caved.

My experience has generally been fine, but last week I finally had a student say "it's impossible to be racist against white people" in a literary theory course. I'm normally able to cope with that on the internet since exaggeration is order of the day, but hearing it IRL did piss me off. I have no delusion that I haven't won a social lottery of sorts, but that whole notion takes a naive centralized view if where power resides. It's all too "goodies v. baddies"

Smith is stellar. Smith and Mt. Holoyke are a part of consortium that consists of Amherst, Hampshire and Umass Amherst besides themselves.

Barnard is across the street from columbia. Literally across the street. You can take classes, join clubs, join sororities at columbia. Plus, it's in NYC.

Hmapden-Sydney is next to Longwood. Can't comment on the proximity. but they're both party school.

Yurofag here; used to study Comp. Eng. and Philosophy.

Philosophy degree is full of retards and illiterate faggots (also SJW) that are concerned only about muh art or muh feels, stopped going after 1.5 years, some subjects were fun but overall it was utter shit, I still want to finish my degree but probably will do it later.

Comp-Eng, didn't finish either but it helped me land a job from home somehow and I could not be more happy. The subjects are boring and some professors do not help you at all but they actually have a clue of what they are teaching and people overall are not so whiny tryhards.

Right now I'm just working and reading a lot, maybe will finish my CE degree next year or enroll in Mathematics to be a true patrician so I can blow the fuck out all those retards that are into pseudo-science and have no idea what they are talking about, fuck I used to love humanities field now I hate it.

I'm going to York too. I had the option of going to a better school but my parents only had enough money to pay tuition, so I had to choose between commuting to York and graduating without debt or going to a better university but assuming thousands of dollars in debt. Since I'm getting a shitty degree anyways (Economics) I figured I may as well just go to York. I just hope I can get a comfortable white collar job where I make a decent living when I graduate. It's all I ask for.

I was in a similar boat except I got OSAP'd and had a choice between UofTM or York. Decided on York because it was cheaper and it was known for the program somewhat, and my parents said the UofT schools are only really good for graduate school, but let's be honest, a bachelor's from UofT or any of the satellite schools looks better than a bachelor's from York.

I majored in English for my undergrad at a shitty community college you'll not have heard of. I'm currently in my second semester of grad school at Oxford; I'm studying economics

The Evergreen State College, either writing/philosophy or urban planning/creative design. Whatever, our grad school placement rate is very high, and I'm pretty confident in my scholarship/aid and networking abilities, so I'm not too worried about getting a job after education. Also, how do you guys feel about the peace corps?

>>6163648
how'd you pull that off?

University of Montana
Political Science

>>6163687
A shitload of luck, a 4.0, good references, couple years interning somewhere relevant

>>6163681
Evergreen has a decent placement rate because their unstructured curriculum and degree requirements weed out everyone who isn't a complete autist. So, the ones that actually manage to make it through are probably fairly capable and competitive applicants, whether it be for grad school or jobs.

Also, the peace corps is great. Alumni of the program get hiring priveldges in the federal government, and some ptesitiglus schools (including the Woodrow Wilson school at Princeton) look very favorably upon peace corps alums.

If you're planning on only being a writer, teacher, or just getting the degree for your self, go for it. If you plan to actually get a real, we'll paying career, choose something else.

For law school I remember philosophy majors tend to do pretty well on their LSATs, but let's be honest, unless you are looking to be a teacher/prof or have other skills which help you get a job outside academia or teaching you are probably going to be working part-time for a while. Might depend on which uni you are aiming for as well. If you are from UofT, UBC or McGill it probably will go pretty far in terms of reputation compared to other unis.

Okay, but is anyone.. not.. educated?

I'm inherently prone to failing anything with structure or classes but am quite good at writing (maybe)

There's some rotten smell coming from my aunt Tammy's bedroom, I think it's her corpse, should I bust the door down?

>>6166710
Just call her name, scream TAMMY GIRL real loud under the door. You should also be nude during this process.

>>6166715
should I stick my dingy under the door?

>>6166717
Ultimately you must make that decision. Who knows maybe she died with her vagine behind the door just waiting for your incest entry.

English lit. Depaul University, Chicago Il.

>>6166445

Yes. What major?

I'd say about half of the Americans in this thread go to decent schools. But /lit/ seems to attract pleb Canadians. What gives?

>>6161529
what's so soul sucking about it? I get to do something different every day and I enjoy helping people. I use my mind all the time to help people come up with different strategies to help them succeed. Better than working as a barista in some independent coffee shop or proofreading transcripts from focus groups like some of my old classmates are doing

>How did you land a job at a consulting firm?
>Were you just a member of finance clubs?
No, finance really has nothing to do with consulting. I'm not telling people what stocks to invest in or how to cook their books. I take data reports and explain them to clients to help them better target their company. I got the job by sending out dozens upon dozens of resumes to all sorts of companies, even for positions I wasn't qualified for.

>>6166353
yeah those aren't really minors. no school lets you have three minors. besides, ecology at U of C is just a specialization of biology. it would be like if I said I majored in french with a minor in french literature. and why the fuck would you transfer to wisconsin if you're at the university of chicago? too expensive 4u?

>>6166779
i'm sorry, only good thing about depaul are the cute (but dumb) girls. in the 10 years I lived in chicago I actively avoided lincoln park as much as I could. fuck, would have even preferred going to loyola over depaul

RUTGERS

>>6166532
I'm the same way, school has always been a nuisance for me so I quit in 9th grade and got my GED, now I'm unemployed and in idle.
Got a lot of reading done in the years I skipped out of, might go to college out of sheer boredom... whatever.

>>6166839
Philosophy? That's the only acceptable answer if you're at Rutgers.

>>6166848
hmm, you should go to college. I actually knew a guy who dropped out of a high school, got his GED, went to some Podunk beta community college for 2 years, then transferred to a state university (public ivy btw), and then eventually went to grad school at a Ivy league.

>>6166852
Undecided. What could I do with Phil?
>>6166853
aw don't be sad. I almost went there. How is it?

>>6162029
I attended SFU for one day and man is that campus terribly set up. not like the glory that is Uvic's ring road.

>>6166853

Get away from me I'm the only one allowed to live in this area

>>6162278
Oh weird, me too, minus the history part.

>>6166839
>>6166853
Get away from me I'm the only one allowed to live around this area of NJ on /lit/, and 4chan.

>>6166880
Yeah, that is sort of my plan, guess i'll try to be less self absorbed then i was during middle school/high school, just need to slack off on the weird esoteric shit. Gonna have to fix my car now that I blew the rocker arm out of it... whatever.

>>6166926
I was here first. But we can live here together.

>What's your major
>Where do you go to college
It's complicated. Pic related.

>>6163648
What the fuck is the program like? Everything I read says that Economics grad schools want 3 semesters of Calculus, linear algebra, diff equations, and real analysis.

"Ron Don gonna burn down the playpen for the insurance money tonight!"

>>6166852
Math is also very respectable at Rutgers.

>>6166978
All of those are relatively simple topics in mathematics

>>6167182

How the fuck are those simple? I have high marks in all of my other classes but have had to retake Liberal Arts Math twice. My professor keeps telling me that I'm doing the math right and using the right methods to solve the equations but still getting the wrong result.

>>6166895

>>6167585
You should have attended a school more attuned to your special needs. I suggest Clown College.

>>6164621
I mean, if you're devoted to the field you could make it work, but it's not exactly a valuable degree. The field is pretty over saturated. I chose English over Psych as my uni has a strong department. Regardless, if you decide to go for it anyway at least make sure to get a B.S. and not a B.A.(some schools offer both)

>>6167182
Sure, but given that OP majored in English and made no mention of taking extra math courses I would expect him to have taken no more than a couple semesters of Calc.

I'm interested in if he's specializing in some branch of Econ that doesn't require it, which is extremely rare for the grad level these days.

Ph.D. in High Energy Physics in Padua, Italy.

In that regard, it's pretty much a nicer version of Keele, with that whole fairytale castle aesthetic.

It's actually not that bad. Unless you're going to something in a science lab, the campus is pretty linear. If you're going into the the Bennett center though, good luck knowing when to stop walking down stairs. The main campus is good, it's just everything added on afterward that's a mess.
