I'll be visiting Nova Scotia and western Newfoundland over the next week. I know it is a long shot but are there any Masonic activities going on? Have visited 2 or 3 other US state lodges but nothing yet on any of my trips to Canada.
Just got back from a week trip to Newfoundland and kinda felt leaving that, outside of like downtown of St. John's, it was the place I've been that I most needed a car of any trip I've been on.
This is likely the best answer. Funding may derail some of these plans but you get a school like Clemson which I recently visited and damn it looks nice.
Weaker LACs particularly in the north east are getting less students or lowering standards due to declining birth rates. In some cases, they've closed.
Going to visit the Viking site at the top of Newfoundland. I'm a nerd, sue me. So just like a week road trip going to random museums/food etc.
I've been once before to visit St. Pierre which isn't for everyone, but I thought was very cute and honestly shouldn't exist/feels like a dream. Newfoundland was nice.
That's pretty much every college since about 1980 or so.
It seems to have been a rough year at Columbia, so I'm not super surprised that various parties at Columbia all personally hate each other now. Like I'm sure Cas and Shai also talk shit about each other on text, they just weren't dumb enough to do it at like a giant meeting with tons of alums.
Yeah that's awesome! What program at NYU offers a full ride for a master's? That's pretty rare!
Yeah the Quebec folks by and large don't know about St. Pierre. I actually worked someone from France in New York and mentioned Quebec, and she apparently didn't even know Quebec existed.
Yeah Drexel has always been a bit borderline of a "Good school".
Also, small liberal arts colleges. I feel like no one talks about them any more - great educations, but kinda boring sure. But a great education. But I literally never here about students applying to them anymore.
Your state's flagship and state's land grant are the correct answer. In half the states these are legit well known schools nationally even if inside your state people might crap on them a bit. Like pretty much any state has a big University of State type of college is a perfectly fine school.
Good friend went to Emory first year in college. Years ago. Hated it. Went home to Oklahoma and graduated from Oklahoma State. Taught for a while, now does other random stuff. She's fine. You'll be fine too. And there's always grad school! (Not always a great option but could be!)
She wasn't Christian. Her last name was Portuguese. But it definitely does feel in the genre of the "Cherokee Princess" but in her case, it could be true. We never went into the evidence in detail.
My ex-GF was from India and she had a Portuguese surname, but apparently it was "way back."
Yep. I had never heard this. And then like 5 percent of my DNA came back vaguely French/Spanish (it was def 23 and me sorting itself out) and my mom was like "my mother always said she had ancestors shipwrecked from the Armada" and I was like how am I just learning this now? (Unlikely true, but never heard the story until I was like 35.)
Always was more of a fan of Yale than Princeton. I feel Gothic works better in a town than a field. Maybe it is because Yale is sort of the closest version of Cambridge, England that we've got in the US.
Not Penn. Depends on if you like Collegiate Gothic (Yale) or Mission style (Stanford).
met a kid visiting princeton, whose grandfather had the gym at columbia named after him. a douche.
Columbia - Besides Pat Buchanan which I just learned (thanks this thread) definitely Neil Gorsuch.
A few degrees from Columbia and I did not know this! At all!
It is unique. But I realized recently the Philadelphia accent shares some commonalities.
What accent do Bermudans have?
