I found out about it from a colleague of mine, a microbiologist. She asked me how I liked it and I said it was very inspirational, and we had a laugh about that.

It's great to meet scientists who like literature, because it seems lately we have become too specialized. We need to revive the "Renaissance man" meme.

six four by hideo yokoyama

that's ok. I live across in VA now again and I'm glad to be back in NoVA. Something about Maryland doesn't really feel as good as VA -- there are less green parks, there's a higher density of people and it never gets less dense unless you go into the farm country at the outskirts of Montgomery County (which is lovely). Baltimore is kinda crap and Annapolis, while very pretty, gets tiring after a while, since you can memorize the whole downtown too quickly. The UMD campus feels a bit industrial to me for some reason, and there are too many hills. Also I got screwed over and had to get parking in Lot 4 for the final 2 semesters even though my first class was either in Tawes or the Art-Psych building both semesters (first as an undergrad TA for an english class, then for an elective).

The head of the English department (if he still is at least), Prof. Moser, is based as fuck though. That man is great, loved him, best professor in that kinda otherwise par curriculum. Most of the other english professors are somwhere between ok and good.

hate my job, can't fucking wait to finish college to leave this shitty town and get a job not so damn lousy.

Why did you go to UMD if you live in Virginia? I wish I lived in Virginia for in state tuition to UVA. And paying out of state tuition for UMD seems not worth it. Like I miss it, but not that much.

Also you're right about everything you said about Virginia and Maryland. I plan to move to VA soon, but not NOVA.

NOVA is by far the worst part of Virginia.

UVA didn't want me and I got a major scholarship somehow despite being a C student in high school. I had a very high SAT and like a dozen AP classes which I think put me over the edge. Also a lot of my family went there so I guess "legacy' or something benefits. I got into some other schools like NYU but that shit's expensive as fuck.

I had a shitload of AP classes with 5s so I basically was able to get through much faster than is normal. Made the cost less an issue. Also even if UVA wanted me, they wouldn't have expedited my degree that quickly.

> NOVA is by far the worst part of Virginia.

I mean, I grew up first in Montgomery County until I was like 4, and then a more secluded (at the time) part of Fairfax County until now. I am extremely attached to the area I guess. I love going to the mountains and apple orchards in the Port Royal end of 66, I'd probably live there right now if they had CS jobs. Far from the noise of DC and yet still has the climate of NoVA.

Where in VA you moving?

*Front Royal

sorry

Don't you know everyone posts fake information to throw them off?

Richmond area, if I can find a job there. Though my degree is much less valuable than a CS degree.

I like the young vibe of RVA and all the bars/restaurants/music/art shit that is always happening there. I'm also a huge Civil War buff and think it'd be cool to live in the capital of the Confederacy, though I'm sure most of the other twentysomethings there just want history pushed aside and all the statues taken down.

And I like how it's basically a 1 hour drive to the mountains and a 1 hour drive to the mouth of the Chesapeake. I do a lot of kayak fishing and I'd love to get out by the CBBT and catch cobia and red drum and stuff like that. MD's part of the bay is great, but we don't get those species up here in our waters very often. Hell, I would just move to Norfolk or Virginia Beach, but there's too many military people down there and not as many qts as in Richmond.

Uhhh, guys?

There are a lot of smart, well read people at mediocre and affordable schools and a lot of fucking dumbasses at prestigious and expensive schools.

> being pretentious about your piece of paper

how to tell that somebody hit their peak when daddy paid for SAT classes

That's true, but there's no reason to assume that Veeky Forumsizens are dumbasses. On the contrary, lest we forget our Juvenal: mens sana in corpore sana. :^)

most channers don't assume they are. I know a lot of built (or at least fit) people who are intelligent. A lot of long-time members of creative boards decide "fuck it" and head over to Veeky Forums and get fit at some point.

Many people who act stupid on Veeky Forums are some degree of intelligent.

Good schools will admit you on a need-blind basis and meet 100% of your demonstrated need, user. No need to assume a ton of debt if you're academically qualified! :)

Also, as a quick rule of thumb, cut out the passive voice before /crit/ calls you names! :)

spying on some Trump administration you hacker?

what's the point? getting into harvard (as an example) means one of three things:

1. you're a genius of liberal arts (a modest number of them)
2. you're black and got a 3.7 and like an 85th percentile SAT, or you got like a 3.2 GPA and 50th percentile SAT and your dad raped you with his cocaine fingernail as a kid and you wrote your essay about it (and you're black)
3. daddy bought you tutors for every class, micromanaged you throughout your life at private school to ensure a 4.0 GPA, and made you play varsity golf and crew and tennis all day

or you can go to a normal school and just rely on merit. That includes upper schools like UCLA or UVA that are near Ivy but not as overblown as harvard, and are still very merit-based

For the History of the Pelopennesian War you get some respect from me.

hows Flagstaff?

This is arguably the biggest secret with applying to colleges. So many of my friends went to direction-state-uni and left with near six figure loans. Those of us who (sorta) knew our asses from our heads looked at the top 25/15 LAC and did that for much less debt.

As someone who teaches UCLA undergrads, I can tell you they're idiots and you'd be better off at Harvard. Don't go public; our sports are so much more important than our academics.
