Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak I think in 5-10 years we get a massive crunch on universities were all schools either spec into useless degree mills, or only take far fewer students to maintain rigour
something's gonna break somehow yeah

my first joke masters was more real than my EE Masters
Replying to Kribbles #kribbles1 Is this.. the entire assignment? And not just the first of 20 parts or some shit?
yes
George Mason University
they basically gave up during covid, and became a degree mill
appak
Canadian schools for the most part all maintained standards through and post covid as far as I can tell
which I find funny
I have a small sample size of Canadian Universities
are they also all becoming retardedly expensive now too
for canadians anyways
for international, there is no cap on increases, so yes
Mine's still about 6k a year
Replying to Kribbles #kribbles1 Heyy my buddy went there for undergrad
They're builidng a statue of that figure skater btw
in case your friend didn't know
Canadian schools are such a great system for grad since all of them are required to fund you
oh, @Raccoons you might appreciate this too
the greatest skater in the world rn Ilia Malinin is from a couple streets over from where I grew up in Reston, and he practices at the Reston SkateQuest
(and goes to GMU, hence the statue)
Replying to Kribbles #kribbles1 He does not give a shit, he doesn't like the area lol. He did his PhD in Georgia Tech and he likes Atlanta more than DC.
hey, I almost went to GT for undergrad
really nice school, really expensive
He was there with a fully paid grad school, but his professor was.. interesting lol. Dude straight from China, would ask him to clean his house on the weekends, built a Gazebo in his backyard (not the girl PhD students because girls aren't made for physical labor), and when he had surgery on his ass, he asked my buddy to live at his house so he could change his bandages after the surgery. So, he got fired lol.

It's important for accurate polling data that as many answers are collected as possible, but due to the sensitive nature of the poll i imagined that there may be some who wish to abstain
don't worry you'll pick some up with time
this hasn't happened to me yet
I've also done this (not full shit)
Replying to TinyBomby #tinybomby I've done this
tiny have you considered a career in basketball
Replying to reorruatrnte #toughbrook tiny have you considered a career in basketball
I'm too short for that
unfortunate, shitting yourself has a big advance on the court apparently
Idk how to answer the poll, because I have stuff that I think would be nuclear "this person would hate me forever if I leaked it" but also I do not think it is particularly as big od a deal by itself, its more the act of leaking it that would make them mad
