Clemson, Calhoun Honors College. I came here primarily because of a huge in-state scholarship and because I didn't get into an Ivy as a result of my white privilege. I thought I wouldn't like it here and that the quality would be shit but I've honestly been getting more and more satisfied as the semesters pass.

the standardized test score and GPA requirements for the honors college here and for Columbia and Brown are near identical, so I doubt it. Unless they rejected me for a lack of a leadership role, which I doubt because I volunteered, ran a recycling program at my school, etc. To bad I wasn't born the son of a politican, oh well.

Junior in Chemistry. The english/philosophy classes are a bit hit or miss depending on the teacher you get. There is no set curriculum for any of them so the professors are free to teach whatever they feel like pretty much. As a result, the few english/philosophy classes I have taken have been some of the worst and best classes I have ever taken on the subject. If you have any interest in philosophy and have a credit you want to fill, take Todd May. Very interesting guy and very good professor.

If you see a mental health professional, they would be happy to write a note for you about your condition.

Almost every school will let you retroactively drop failing grades if you have a diagnosed condition. The fact that you had such an outlier semester is definitely evidence in your favor.

You may have to be proactive about it, but talk to an adviser at the tech college about it. It won't be as easy as 1-2-3, but you can definitely have that scrubbed off your transcript if you had mental health issues.

Don't give up anon! Plenty of people go through shit like this, and plenty of them come right back.

Nah, the RAs are Nazis, there isn't even regular sex unless it's married students in the campus apartments or living in the ghetto down the road.

People here are sexually obsessed, though. There is no shortage of chastity talks to go to, but I can't imagine there's that many variations on the same theme to discuss.

That said, I'm a philosophy major, and we have a fantastic philosophy department. They emphasize mostly personalism and the continentals, with a few classicists and analytics for good measure. And Roger Scruton is coming tomorrow to give a lecture.

This is why everyone thinks guys who go to McGill are fags. They're so fucking hoity toity and salty. Your school ranks lower and lower every year but you keep pretending you're the best school in Canada. The University of Toronto is. UBC comes second. Third is up in the air now. UoT, McGill and UBC used to be the triumvirate of Canadian universities but you're dropping off the map and there are others that are close to taking your place.

You know, most if not all English degrees are entirely based on what you want to study. You cover a pretty comprehensive range of literature and critical texts, and then when it comes around to coursework/exams its almost entirely individualised to what interests you about said texts.

Psychology isn't too complex a field, I would suggest finding a sort of overview, and then look into leading books/papers in the fields you find most interesting (eg, clinical, health, social) - with that said there are a few open debates and you are at the mercy of the biases of the author in terms of accurate information.
For the most part, the low barriers to entry (at least where I live) compared to say, Physics, make it very comprehensible, just a question of retaining knowledge. For the most part I've been disappointed with psychology, it toes the line between science and arts in the worst possible way (required scientific vigor in referencing past "knowledge", and then uses surveys as a way of assessing trends, of which anything with a <5% probability of happening under chance alone is deemed significant) - and then people publish any number of pointless findings to get their names on a journal. There is a reason psychology isn't taken seriously as a science (or an art), and that is the system set up by the academics at the moment - I would speculate that we're less than 50-60 years from a renaissance: there is just too much psychology could do in terms of understanding economics, extreme organizations and the widespread discontent for it to meddle in mediocrity for the rest of history.

People here seem to think that you can learn philosophy on your own, but you really are limiting yourself without the discussions and different perspectives provided in a lecture/classroom setting.
