college #4

so apparently the city university is huge. 23 different schools so it says. the site says theyve got a diverse set of kids and over 230 majors. better than bunker hill hah. alot of the kids get financial aid so that's cool for anita.

the city campus looks awesome. like old and built up. apparently founded a fair long time ago. so its pretty nice. october 7th is the next tour of the main campus. @ 11am. its called the city college of new york. they actually have an asian studies major. but im not sure about it. seems a bit too non-india focused.

hah black studies... kinda racist hah. wouldn't they call it african american? that kinda makes me shudder to read. i can't believe they're calling it black studies. and it's a university too. it just seems really strange. that word should've been gotten rid of. if you can see black studies then you can probably see white studies too. kinda shitty. i really dont like that. i would expect something like a learning institution to not carry such a blatantly weighted word on their page.

earth and atmospheric sciences looks AWESOME. im amazed by the sweet ass set of study points they've got. rock solid degree.

the film and video production BFA looks badass. oldest continuous film program in the country. and seems well put together. and what's really cool is the BFA only takes 2 years. thats pretty fuckin quick. downside: only 25 kids get in yearly. what the fuck. thats completely rediculous. why would they keep the seats so limited. thats fucking rediculous. i can' tbelieve they would do that. they should make this shit more available to people. ihave no idea how much of a chance i'd have getting into that program.

the fucking language degree doesn't offer icelandic. what fucking bullshit.

they've actually got a international relations program which's cool. 75 page masters thesis!? damn hah. that's alot of work. seems like its got alot to do with political science. you know, i like this. they like describe their masters thesis as a "chance" for the students as if its a selling point hah. but they are right in saying theyre in the city of the UN. and distinguished teachers sounds promising. i worry with the requirement being a 3.0 gpa. it is a masters program, so its not an undergraduate: it requires undergraduate degree to get involved with it. i could go and do the earth / science thing for under and then apply to this for the graduate or i guess its called masters and do the international relations.

i gues they list the majors by undergraduate and graduate.

and again... the music majors... bfa in performance... in what?... classical or jazz. wha tthe fuck... really now. where's the fucking representiation of every fucking type of music in teh world. this is the sort of truncation i hate to see in the world. i mean i'd've loved to have majored in celtic music or that sort but no... nothing of the sort. i think its just completely fucking rediculous.

philosophy seems kinda stupid.

political science might be cool.

sociology seems fine (boring)

and the women's studies degree... not a single man in the picture. are you fucking kidding me. what a fucking farce that is. alot of disappointments in this university.
