Ah alright. He's just a quick n dirty overview of shit that might help.
These are all upper division classes, but desu if you just talk to the prof who's teaching the class, they'll pretty much always let you in. Esp for the humanities courses.

>Philosophy
I've never taken a proper Phil dept. course at Reed, so I can't tell you much. Reed's Phil dept is explicitly analytical and you need to take Logic if you want to take any of the higher level courses. If you want to explore Continental phil, check out the Political, History, and Lit depts, you won't find it anywhere else.

>History
Take hum220 with Lazier if you still can, he's taking sabbatical next year and is probably one of the smartest people I've ever met. He's also teaching two great sounding classes this year: Arendt & Totalitarianism in the Fall, and Dreaming in the 20th Century in the spring.

A visiting professor is teaching a class on the Chinese Revolutions this fall. She's supposedly fucking brilliant, and I'm signed up for it but there's also a Russian Revolutions class being taught at the same time by one of the Russian profs. Both sound very promising.

Another visiting professor is teaching a class (in the spring IIRC) called Constructing Soviet Culture, which sounds p fascinating.

It's a Classics Class, but Millender is teaching her infamous Roman History course, which requires a fuck ton of reading but is, obviously, very in-depth.

Avoid all classes being taught by Michael Breen. He's a very nice man but also a total bore.


>English
Jan is teaching two classes about German Critical theory that I'd be taking if it didn't conflict with my schedule. Very smart and funny guy, although a bit of a diva.

Lencek is teaching his 19th c. Russian lit course in the spring, which is a pretty landmark class at this point.

Dickson is teaching a class on Oscar Wilde that sounds promising.

Faletra, one of my favorite professors, is teaching his Dante course this year. I'm very pissed that I won't be able to take it. In the Fall he's teaching a Arthurian Lit class that sounds fun.

Knapp, one of my other favorites, is teaching "Shakespearean Mimesis". He's Reed's Shakespeare guy, and will convince you that Lit theory and Shakes, despite its pretentiousness (he's got a good sense of humor), are revelatory.

Everyone hates Martínez now for some reason, but she's still very damn smart. She's teaching a John Donne course in the fall that sounds damn good.

Savery is a goddamn genius, and probably one of the most hardass profs at Reed. His Black Panthers course sounds well worth taking.

>Politics
Steinberger is sadly on sabbatical next year, but try to take one with him if he gets back. Although none of his classes have requirements, they've probably been amongst the most rigorous discussions I've had at Reed so far.

Avoid Darius's intro class, it's boring. Take Steinberger's Idea of the State instead.

Hope that helped.

>>9844825
**Darius is actually a really great guy, but his Intro Course was just pretty disappointing due to its size and short length. Were I taking another year, I'd definitely take his upper level classes. Try to snag a syllabus of his and talk to him during his office hours, if you wanna talk about politics. Probably one of the most approachable professors at Reed.

Plebian coming through

>>9844661
I don't think I would venture to disagree; and I don't think Macaulay held such a view out of a resentment for a less civilized people, who's works could thus be easily discarded after having been deemed inferior, but rather because, as widely read as he was, and having served first hand in governing India for 4 years, Macaulay simply concluded that the scope of Oriental literature, and its value, pales in comparison to the great works of the Western world.

>>9844617
Yes, the election was rigged and the mechanisms used to call the people to express it's will was unconstitutional, therefore not valid. The possible outcomes are frightening: a coup d'etat lead by God knows which military dissidents, which tend to be silenced and frustrated from the beginning by SEBIN (government's secret police), like the case of Oscar Pérez, the surreal special operations cop that claimed to be orchestrating such activity, but got emasculated by it's past as a leading actor in some kind of educational film promoted by the police organism. Then we have a popular rise to the arms, which would bring countless fatalities, for the military has got it's hands dirty with blood and money for a long time, and has not hesitated one second when told to ruthlessly kill demonstrators, while letting itself mix with “colectivos" (to the point of giving them military uniforms and fake credentials), which are basically criminals hired by the Government to fuck people up. There was a case of sixty colectivos stabbing to near death (twenty times) a demonstrator in a poor downtown part of my city. Then we have several internal brawls in the opposition hierarchies, divides between honest politicians in jail, like Lopez and Ledezma, bastard congressmen claiming to be real leaders of the opposition while engaging in million dollar contracts with officialist drug dealing politicians, like Ramos Allup and Borges. There is not a single honest socialist in PSUV hierarchy. There are only oligophrenic ultra corrupted plutocrats in power. In all of the possible outcomes, we'll have the incidence of United States explicitly-under-the-table classic policies. It's probably our best option, anyway.

I definitely would not be going to reed if the professors weren't as great as they are. Sorry you couldn't come bud.

>no one else on this board was smart enough to get into oxford

Eh, to be expected I guess. 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.

>>9844897
Well, that's like the general consensus. Things tend to get much deeper, obviously. Regarding Chávez, the man was a crazy bastard with little academic formation, propelled by his natural rhetoric abilities into power. His administration was a waste of resources in the name of demagogy and his pathological search for power. The low class commoner tends to see him as a man with deep academic foundations, but those of us that seriously study such academic fields (history, law, philosophy, politics) know he was devoid of any skill apart from political snake enchanting and commoner folk wisdom. Our opposition hates him to death, while having mixed feelings (mostly a balancing pendulum between hate and disgust) about those who call themselves “chavistas but not maduristas", while officialist keep on their religiously chavistic rituals as usual, while blaming everybody but themselves for their disgrace. They really see him as a Messiah, and uphold their politics of social resentment as their north, disregarding every juridical limitation to achieve their nasty, ultimately undefined project.

Can't help you much there. I fell in with most of my friends just by bumming cigs and pure luck. I don't think there's really any cohesive reed community anymore; and most of the "political stuff" (nothing more than neoliberalism w/ idpol tendencies, they'll have you believe that they're socialists though) is online and stays within like two or three social scenes you'd avoid anyway. Unless you're straight up /pol/, I don't think anyone save for a few dipshits are gonna care much about your philosophy as long as you're a nice dude.

Try chilling with some Philosophy Bros, even if they're analytics. They have short phil lectures/discussions at the phil society during lunch, and they host events too now and again. The Film Club is also hosted by a chill friend of mine and seems to be attended by nice people, even if I don't really like the films screened there itself.

It's pretty easy, from my experience, to chill and go by unnoticed. I'm also a brown dude though, so I don't have to worry so much about campus politics/speaking my mind.

What exactly do you guys plan to do with your humanities degrees? (this isn't a jab, i'm genuinely curious)

>>9845179
Go to law school, become a professor/teacher, join up with x company (being able to write a good paper can still get you places; silicon valley types were hiring a lot of humanities dudes for awhile.), work for a magazine/publication, though freelancing isn't as possible as it used to be, go into politics. Save for specialized fields, you just sorta do what everyone else tries to do. Undergrad degrees don't really matter much anymore

I'm hoping my thesis will focus on examining the relationship between surrealist motifs in early modern literature and existing social/political conditions, especially within Kafka and Joyce.

>its to be expected that no one goes to oxford here but me

Kek at ur arrogance. i study history at oxford. Graduate life does look pretty cool but undergrad is a pain the arse imo. We're just on an essay treadmill the whole time while the grad students at my college get tons of free formals and only fortnightly or self-arranged supervisions whenever desired. The only official obligation within postgrads humanities at oxford seems like the meeting of the deadline for two pieces of written work within the course of your MA year.

As a wider point, it always brings a smile to my face seeing these whiny americans fantasising about their supposedly perfect life at oxford. All these romantic images of socratic walks through college gardens or intellectual discussions over formal dinners are, by and large, totally fictious. Its the same set of social circles, the same drinking culture, the same shitty clubbing, the same skipping lectures and the same moaning about tutors that comprise life here. Lectures arent anything special, the architecture looses its novelty quickly, and tutorials are often little more than excercises in bluffing your way through a given topic. A large proportion of the undergraduate body, like everywhere else, are either pretentious teens/early twentysomethings with delusions of academic grandeur; gymbro investment banker warren buffet wannabes; tech startup cunts; or the usual 'politically active' cretins who believe their affiliation with oxford grants them license to be even more smug and self assured when preaching their views to others (be it SJWs or Tory-hacks). Its all a fucking farce further propagated by the cash-cow American visiting students who turn up for a term on astronomical fees and arent subjected to the same intensity as the rest of us. This diluted rigour then grants them the free time to indulge in this romantic image, and they return home waxing lyrical about their 'authentic aristocratic experience' which is barricaded to everyone but these de facto tourists. I bet a significant number of them ascribe intellectuality to oxford students by virtue of our british accents alone. If anyone still interested in opting into the oxford myth then just do well in your BA and apply for graduate programmes. They're way less competetive.

Im a third year too. I actually don't mind it, kinda excited to be back this semester. Whats your major?

>>9845795
I'm 22. The major can be difficult if you aren't that good at math and don't have a good work ethic. Many classes are demanding, the more advanced laboratories require lots of time and attention and new concepts can be hard to accept/understand. What fucks most people up is that from the 3rd year on courses are only offered once per year (and our uni is on a quarters system instead of semesters), which gets you a bunch of people lagging behind their peers.

I didn't have much problems though, the only really stressful moments were when I was writing my thesis and applying to grad school at the same time plus some exam weeks in quarters where I had enrolled more credits than recommended.

How much time is it gonna take for you and your wife to leave?

>>9845495

Never heard of that book, but to start any precalculus book should work (which is probably what you have). If after that you're still interested in the subject, try picking up books on calculus and linear algebra. You should also look for courses online to follow a certain program and maybe read some lecture notes that explain certain things more carefully, a good place for that is MIT's OCW, which have video lectures, lecture notes and textbooks to follow.

Oxonian here. Best way and cheapest way is this:
-get a bachelor degree from a respectable top-100 university
-excel in your field, get amazing grades (I graduated summa cum laude) get good references and conduct innovative research in your field
-write amazing essays
-get a TOEFL score of 110 (if English isn't your mother-tongue)
-supply 3 credible and praising academic or professional references
-write an amazing motivation letter combined with a good research proposal
-present a picture of a levelheaded, well-rounded and goal-oriented student with a specific reason to study at Oxford (note: give the impression of having a specific reason, not a desire)

>>9847870
>all this work just to get a fancy name on your CV
>it's irrelevant anyways if you're not in humanities
Oxbridge is great, but I still kek everytime someone mentions it as some holy grail of education.

>>9847461
Immigrants weren't always innovative when they moved to other countries and had to come up with new names for their towns. They just took the name of their former city or adaptations of it (e.g. New York). This is a global phenomenon, not just an American habit.

>>9847883
Getting all those requirements by themselves are amazing and a great feature. You're free to say 'fuck it, it's not worth it', but a CV with Oxford on it, with summa cum laude degrees, and with praising references will always be considered superior compared to mediocre degrees from mediocre universities.

TL;DR if you don't want to do the hard stuff to get accepted, then don't.

>>9847887
Shouldn't all towns have the same name then

>>9847922
If the neighboring town has the same name as yours, it will cause confusion. If the name of your town is the same as a city on the other side of the world, nobody gives a fuck.

Tbh you kind of have to be idealistic and optimistic about love. If you enjoy that "true love conquers all" mentality (Princess Bride, etc) then you're set. I first read it when I was a super faggy emo highschooler so I loved it. Although if you want more objective qualities: the dialogue is pretty witty; the characters are fun, distinct, and lively; while it's no Middlemarch, it gives a neat look into wealthy British society of the time and it's social dynamics.

It's not much of a story, but:

>Finishing his doctoral thesis, Foucault hoped it would be accepted by Uppsala University, but Sten Lindroth, a positivistic historian of science there, was unimpressed, asserting that it was full of speculative generalisations and was a poor work of history; he refused to allow Foucault to be awarded a doctorate at Uppsala. In part because of this rejection, Foucault left Sweden.[57] Later, Foucault admitted that the work was a first draft with certain lack of quality.[58]

>>9857643
Well I came here for the same reason as you. The town is pretty cool because during the quarter it's almost exclusively college students. The bars are alright but there aren't many and they're pretty small. The best night life activity is probably salsa night at The Grad or mojito night at Bistro 33.

There are also a lot of hiking spots near Davis and you can go to the bay or Tahoe on the weekend if you want to get the fuck out of Davis but you probably know that if you live here. I commute so I don't know that much about living there but it's a big school which can make it hard to get close to people. If you join clubs and take classes with people in your major you should develop friendships but most cliques will have formed by the end of your sophomore year. Most people here are really chill though so don't be afraid to ask them to do things with you.

-write an amazing motivation letter combined with a good research proposal
-present a picture of a levelheaded, well-rounded and goal-oriented student with a specific reason to study at Oxford (note: give the impression of having a specific reason, not a desire)

It's the best and cheapest way because a master's programme is shorter than a bachelor's programme (1 to 2 years), and you have more scholarship opportunities.

>>9858613
Did you pay tuition or got schoolarship if I may ask? What university did you attend as an undergraduate? To which level were your results from secondary school important when applying (and what were your results)? You don't have to answer if you think some of the questions are too personal.

>>9858623
The thing is, I fucked up in secondary school. But I was lucky, I live in Belgium and went to the University of Ghent (they accept every Belgian student, regardless of your results in secondary school). And the University of Ghent is still a respectable university (around top-100 level).

When I did my undergraduate, I also wanted to go to an Ivy League or Oxbridge institution, so I studied like fuck and graduated Summa Cum Laude.

You only need good grades during your last previous education (secondary education is irrelevant when applying for a master's programme, it's only relevant for undergraduate degrees). I didn't get a scholarship, but tuition wasn't that bad (6.5k £) and a master's porgramme only lasts 1 year (in, comparison with a 3 year bachelor).

>>9858671
Yeah you were lucky, I basically committed social suicide because of secondary. I guess I will have to pay for undergraduate studies as well since I'm from Serbia but whatever. Thanks for clearing few thing up dude. Appreciated it.

I'm probably alone, the Chinese communicate through their hivemind, after all.
Sophomore Philosophy major; English minor. Focusing on ecotheology and dramaturgy. Haven't had the chance to take any courses on either, but my faculty is probably the best place for genuine ecotheology (not just navel-gazing). Regarding dramaturgy, the creative writing professor used to be an actor and is now apparently a decent author.
My department, and faculty as a whole, is a bit stirred up after one of our veterans died this summer, unfortunately causing a lot of monotony and dissonance between our philosophy and religious studies (they're the same department for various reasons). In his place, I assume they hired a part-time professor we've had for a while. She's brilliant, but now we have two professors whose research focuses on feminism and philosophy of science, and this is somehow supposed to work with a religious studies department focusing on ecotheology and OT scholarship.

if you're worried about the practicality of your degree i think you should double major in classics and something realistic. it's not hard to double and that way you could still pursue a career related to classics if it somehow works out.

I am a PhD student at Cam so everyone now is minding their business but I did undergrads at Ox, so I'll tell you how it looked like there. You have about 10% of Old Money Kids and 20% of guys who aim at financial careers - they usually don't care that much. However. the remaining 70% consists of plenty of IMO gold medalists and guys like that, and virtually everyone in this group very hard-working. Possibilities for you are threefold. You can pick some opportunistic courses (after finishing yr first year) - this doesn't necessarily mean applied math! - and somehow make it through having some social life and passions. You can be perceived as a *good* student doing pure courses by working your ass off. You can try to keep it up with top 25% of pure math students by working *everyday* for 12+ hours - that's what I did but I eventually succeeded only by obtaining a genuine research results in my final year. With hindsight I am not sure if that was really worth it that much - my health has deteriorated, I was depressed for most of the time and so on, and so on.

I'm starting at Kenyon this fall. Studying econ, poli sci, and english mainly.

Please give me some affirmation because I just had one of the worst nights of my life and I need to feel good about my future.

>>9865681
College will be a highly fulfilling period of your life. You will come to know things you aren't even remotely awarene of today that will illuminate your life. You will make lifelong friends. You'll spend many a nights having long talks about love and life. You'll fall in love, have your heart broken, fall in love again. You'll probably see the world. You will change for the better.

You are starting on a clean slate. Whatever horrible thing happened last night will be forgotten, abandoned to the narrative of an old you.

Have the time of your life, man. Grow as much as you can, intelectually and spiritually. Then come out of it with the habits and intelligence to succeed and the authenticity to be happy.

P.S. my friend went to Kenyon, said it was an astoundingly beautiful campus and a great institution. Enjoy.

What college are you at?

Does university change you in any significant way? I always feel ashamed and inferior when I'm asked what I majored in and admit to that I never attended university.

>>9868182
It's too difficult to say how (much) I've changed because of my university experience because this stage of my life (age 18-22)was going to be transformative either way. And although I firmly believe that education doesn't necessarily make you more intelligent, it did fundamentally change how I perceive and reflect about the world. It also enhanced my personal skills and eloquence in multiple languages as it offered me the opportunity to study abroad in 3 different countries.
