San Diego State. Philosophy, minor in cognitive and behavioral neuroscience. SDSU is normie central and more akin to a factory than a university, but the philosophy department is a hidden gem. I'm currently doing a special study on Being and Time so I'm reading through that again, George Bataille's Guilty, and I just started Lolita

>>8772170

National University of Ireland Galway

I'm doing a B.A. in History and Classical Studies

Both are enjoyable enough. My only complaint is that each subject is subdivided into too many modules; I'd rather study fewer topics in greater detail. With classics we've studied the Iliad, the Odyssey and the Aeneid in-depth, and also various historical texts (Caesar, Tacitus etc.) as well as beginners courses in both Greek and Latin.

It's a really amazing school, and whenever I think about it, I get a mixture of crushing obligation to count my blessings, and anxiety over what might have happened if I had ended up at some backup school I felt no passion for.

Reading a lot of shit, but pleasure reading right now is Glass Bead Game.

>>8772283
Don't trust any courses at UofT to teach you modern languages. Use RACER to order Sandberg's French for Reading and audit a 200-level course instead of wasting your fucking time with 101 courses. Even the "intensive" courses for grad students at UofT are only for show.

Currently I'm trying to get through the Moviegoer by Percy, but I've been busy with a lot of school reading. I like it here for the most part. My mental health really hasn't been that great here due to the fact that Iowa has the worst mental health care coverage in the country, but I've met a lot of engaging and fun people that help offset that a bit. I'm involved in a few cool religious text studies and children's theater group. People here are very well read for the most part even if they don't do a lot of reading for pleasure. My gf is super /lit/ and I love it. Overall, the good tentatively outweighs the bad. Just trying to hold on for another couple years until I can start teaching or go to seminary.

It was fun. The liberals got under my skin at first, but that faded away after a few weeks when I got used to it. I joined what passed for a book club, didn't like it, and decided to found my own literary society. The society ended up with about 20 members by the end of my freshman year, which was slightly more than the minority perspectives book club that existed before. Funny how people want to discuss books and share their own writing without being scolded for the actions of their ancestors, eh? Also I played in an amateur soccer team and occasionally spent time with tabletop RPG groups on campus.

Currently reading The Last Days of Mankind by Karl Kraus.

Pretty simple really. Most universities allow students to form unique clubs on their own as long as they have a faculty adviser and the approval of the higher ups in the administration. The book club that already existed was dedicated to examining literature from an ethnic minority perspective, while my new club dedicated itself to discussing literature in general while serving as a creative writing workshop for the members. Everything went smoothly once I approached one of my professors (one that I had a particularly good relationship with) and set the whole thing in motion. They granted us a room to use and from that point on it was a done deal. How do you think anime clubs come into being? The university doesn't found them.

We never had a mention on the official website or a site of our own, but we thrived. The club still does without me and the original members. I'm still in touch with that professor from time to time.

You seem angsty. Take a deep breath.

I wrote it that way because that's what we named it. I addressed it by its name. I didn't think anyone would be autistic enough to rage about it.

My major is incredibly small (to give you an idea: my major advisor has a picture of all undergraduates on his wall) and most of the people I have met are generally insufferable. Although I do not make any effort to meet or talk to anyone in my classes or outside of my classes. The classes themselves are simple though.
Reading Paris Peasant by Aragon in my Avant-Garde class, Huis Clos in my French class, and some inane children's book in my children's lit class

Not going to post my university you fucking nigger. Studying applied math and applied ethics.

>>8772516
how are you this fucking mad lmao

University of Exeter

French and Chinese

Absolute waste of time. Reading French literature is always fun but the courses they're associated with are rubbish, and I could be learning Chinese on my own for free.

I just want to spend the rest of my days reading and walking idly, or to die, which to me is equivalent. Life provides sights and sounds that are worth a lifetime of achievements - a butterfly meandering about a flower, young friends playing in the streets, beautiful symphonies played at the local church; each of these things fill me with such ecstasy that my own little life has been fulfilled many times over. I am satisfied, but the mover, creator, nature, God is generous. Every additional day is a gift, a blessing and a luxury.

I don't see myself finishing the course.

School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London. Shit college for anything other than its specialisms (obscure languages, anthropology and development studies).

>What

BA Persian (language), politics as a minor. Get to do some Persian literature and philosophy for politics.

>How, which

Pretty enjoyable. Farsi is a beautiful language with an enormous and virtually unexplored literary canon for an Anglophone reader. Learning to read Hafez, Omar Khayyam, Ahmed Shamlou and Obayd-e Zakani in Farsi is incredible. The Persian literary canon should be as important as Russia's, easily.

Anyone else?

University of Melbourne, double major in English and Phil. Phil department is kinda shitty here, fulfills the meme of prioritizing unimportant analytics over influential continentals (no classes on Kant or Hegel), but the literature department is great. My English professor is a respected Deleuzian which is pretty cool.

Currently reading Petersburg by Bely, Kant's Prolegomena, and Difference and Repetition

>>8772584
:( anon why tho

>>8772549

Cut that God junk out m80. It is keeping you too complacent. You must adopt the Paterian attitude and write something good. But I suppose something interesting will happen to you eventually. I don't think the mindset you claim to have can last very long. There must be a tension in the appreciation. And if you really want to read for the rest of your life, then surely being a forever-student is the easiest way to do that.

>>8772484
Iowa can be a lot of fun, especially around caucus time. The school itself has a really fun party culture and the people are generally pretty great as long as you don't mind a ton of SJW types.

Really the only thing I don't like about Iowa is the lack of mental health resources I mentioned. Other than that, it may be a little boring, but reading and hanging out with friends distracts me enough from the fact that there is a lot less to do than I was used to growing up in a semi-urban area.

Departments here vary in quality quite a bit tho, any idea of what you might want to study here?

>complaining about sjw

anon i have some bad news...

>>8772833
I could have been clearer, on-campus resources aren't really the problem, the problem is health resources in general within a 60 mile radius are either shit or non-existent.

I'm fairly liberal and have a few Social Justice-y issues that I'm passionate about, the only reason I mentioned the SJW presence is that the idea of going to school with people that hold different beliefs than your own might trigger some anons.

>>8772866
fair i see that. i was just fucking around either way, i agree that health resources lack on most campuses. anons always gettin mad over being around people who like foucault tho

>>8772824
Maybe

I'm deliberately being a bit vague, sorry.

Good luck, anon. The undergrads here are all smart and engaged as fuck so you're in good company.

Is Trinity Dublin good?

Might be going there for postgrad because its cheap desu

Comp Sci is an awesome department. I found out I hated it during the intro, but a have a few friends who really enjoy the program. I know a few people who graduated from the department who make good money working for Google if that's your thing.

question for you and for anyone else who wants to weigh in: how do you think public university funding is looking over the next 4 years of trump? i want to apply to UCLA for a phd in the social sciences, but wonder about how they'll change under new regulations.

Is the UC system a titan that will reckon well with any incoming changes, or could some budget shakeups be what pushes it off its flimsy base?

University of Texas at San Antonio

Comp Sci

Not even sure yet, but the preliminary math courses aren't as shitty as I expected. School is fine, classes less so because I registered at the last second. The campus is fine enough, there are nice enough spots and I'm reading Blood Meridian right now so shit gets comfy.

I'm at the University of Birmingham studying physics. Halfway through the third year of a four year course and I've completely failed at being a good student. I've managed to survive, more or less, but I think they like to make surviving easy anyway.

I'm reading Notes from the Underground. He sounds just like me. Great.

>>8773075
depends more on the outcome of the gubernatorial election in 2018 than anything. Jerry Brown has been really good about keeping costs down, whereas Arnold had enacted a plan to cut virtually all funding.

Although state funds are a small part of the UC systems finances, the legislation Brown has passed has still had a noticeable impact on the UC system as a whole. Tuition and fees have stayed pretty constant, but smaller programs are getting cut and so are a lot of student resources. The UC system seems willing to give up anything except le scientific research and administrative bloat.

>>8773141
so PhD funding will probably remain (even in social sciences) whereas stupud extra shit like switching food service vendors for freshmen dining halls is more likely to be axed? or something like that, i made up an example

Sup, NTNU.

Not the guy you responded to, but I wanted to do my PhD in engineering Cybernetics there. I'll probably quit after the MSc in Biomedical Engineering (did a BSc in Engineering Mathematics and CS). In fact I fantasize of dropping out as soon as possible. I hate it so much. Too bad! Was the cyberneticist Sartorius in the novel "Solaris" by Lem not my favorite character? Did I not start my academic career inspired by that fictional madman who polished his shoes while the oxygen was running out? But idealism only goes that far. My mind cannot handle the depth and blandness of mathematics and technology.

>>8774060
I originally wanted to pursue a PhD aswell, but during the work on my thesis I found out that eventhough I wanted a PhD, I'd loathe working towards it.

I think I'll still pursue the PhD, just to appease my vanity, just not through academia (nærings-ph.d is pretty sweet for engineers).

The institute and school are both great, but it's the very quintessential of a STEM school, and in addition it's filled with engineering bros.

I'm sorry to hear about you dropping your dream, but I guess there is some value in knowing ones limits.

Well for PhDs there is still the possibility to do it as an external candidate. One still would need the MSc. by now it's also just vanity for me, since i cannot imagine working in this area.

You know... the sad thing is age. And time lost. If you have your thesis done you have all you need for the "real work" out there. It's different with just a Bachelor and 26 years on my back.

I literally can't express how much better my life has been since I attended Oxford. I went to a state school and gradually became the stereotypical moody, withdrawn sensitive type who both despises the quality of his immediate culture and feels a weird pride for having been raised in a sort of anti-intellectual and brutal environment. I was all set to take my Russell Group humanities BA and spend my life working as an anonymous, insecure wageslave forever thankful of being offered a job and forever too insecure to pursue my creative ambitions. The chip on my shoulder had become something of a wedge, and I felt too out of place regardless of my environment, too resentful and bitter to even attempt to make it in the artistic world. Then I finally applied for Oxford and got in to study an English MA, with reassurance that should I work hard enough a career in academia or within one of Oxford's affiliated companies would be almost guaranteed. I turned up as apprehensive as usual, and the first few days were spent regretting my decision and desperately feigning a cultured personality. But then I realized that the people there were just interesting and that the snobbery and exclusivity I had anticipated was just a myth borne out of my working class upbringing. I've since graduated, having spend the year dining in grand halls with groups of interesting people, dating several girls (one of whom, a petite Russian whose family traces back to the aristocracy, is now my fiancee). I work four days a week at a publishing company and earn £38k a year. I regularly meet up with friends from my college and visit Oxford for nights out and for meetings with my professors. The Martin Eden-esque novel I have been writing for two years has been selected for publication at a major British publishing house and, honestly, I could not have imagined a few years ago how great life could be. I come on /lit/ and see how pathetic you all are and just shake my head and chuckle. If I saw you guys on the street I would of course throw you a penny or discuss Bukowski or whatever "realist" writers you enjoy, but ultimately I would be able to tell within ten seconds if you're an Oxbridge grad and would dismiss you as a potential source of good company if you are not. I never thought I'd know what it was like to be objectively better than somebody else, for the value of my existence to be superior to the value of a stranger's, but now I do and I've never been happier. People are awed by power and prestige. All I need to do is mention the university I attended (if only for a year) and they immediately begin to hunch and look at their feet because they know they are in the presence of greatness.
