[ember niche]

LMAO

[olive ingot]

what the 😭😭

[ember niche]

peak a2c

where can i find this email

[still canyon]

it's in ascendence of wokeness
one has no pronouns at the bottom -> pronouns at the bottom -> pronouns at the bottom linked with corresponding pronouns.org website

[ember niche]

i need to submit my a2c scholarship aswell

[still canyon]

huh maybe this one is a fob

[ember niche]

oh ty

[olive ingot]

i think cwru ea is dec20

didnt see that anywhere

[ember niche]

js for decision dates?

[lucid grove]

I need proof

[still canyon]

judging by "for a scholarship" and not "to a scholarship"

[lucid grove]

What were you gonna use it for

[olive ingot]

oh shit it could be about

mb

[lucid grove]

“On or about”

[still canyon]

on or about

[ember niche]

no like im js curious how they thought of emailing that lol

[olive ingot]

mb

[ember niche]

is it also for general questions

[lucid grove]

I had it on the fee waivers page and a few people have emailed off that as if I’m an AO

[ember niche]

oh lol

[still canyon]

illiteracy + fob epidemic

[lucid grove]

Like one was definitely a copy paste they used for an AO

[still canyon]

cant wait for gen alpha college emails

subway surfers video loaded on the side

[ember niche]

see im too lazy to send emails for clarification so i would never do such a thing

[olive ingot]

wait is the fob epidemic real

[ember niche]

instead i would js hope and pray that its fine

[still canyon]

not to be rude to fobs, but there's
a lot of fobs

[lucid grove]

Idk if this was fob but it made me laugh very hard

[olive ingot]

roplay :D

[still canyon]

ro-play 😭

[ember niche]

2nd one has got to be ragebait

[lucid grove]

This is one convo

[still canyon]

did they think this was a college admissions office roleplay

[lucid grove]

Just two pics to fit it

[ember niche]

lmao what

[still canyon]

the concept of being both a grad and freshman in 'collage'

[ember niche]

that is peak

[lucid grove]

The second screenshot begins right after the first ends

[still canyon]

it is one conversation. screenshots have a finite amount of space

[ember niche]

yea i see it now but like if u look at it one by one it kinda could be 2 conversations

[olive ingot]

was the first screenshot just their ro-play

[lucid grove]

You laugh as if we haven’t had multiple children role play admissions offices in the server as is

One kid made an entire discord account with username “UCIisout” just to lie about UC Irvine decisions being out

[ember niche]

lol

did any1 fall for it

[lucid grove]

Everybody crashes out abt A2C discord moderation being too strict until March then they see that’s the only reason why misinformation doesn’t successfully spread too well here

[lucid grove]

No bc we were prepared and able to ban immediately

[ember niche]

o

well ive been here for

1 month baiscally

so idk anything abt a2c moderation lol

but im sure its fine

[lucid grove]

It’s also a good portion of why I care so much abt the decision calendar bc if I’m up to date on what’s coming out when then I can tell the rest of our team so we know who’s lying abt decisions

[ember niche]

oh yea that makes sense

[still canyon]

you should run this country chloe

[lucid grove]

The A2C troll works hard but I work harder

These were automated too

So they’d highlight based on how close the decision was

And automatically strikethrough after 2 hours passed

Highly recommend learning excel and sheet formulas they are helpful

[kind crag]

im sorry i completely did not see this

[ember niche]

lol i learned about microsoft excel esports recently

so i might just start grinding that

[cedar smelt]

You’re good haha

[kind crag]

our school orchestra has a cherished horse head mask and as a violinist in my application, its just a photo of me in my halloween costume with the mask playing cello

[lucid grove]

Oh yeah I’ve seen the competitions

[cedar smelt]

Oh that’s completely fine

That’s a great photo

You applied Ed right?

[kind crag]

okay lolol i was just wondering it would seem weird to put myself as a picture of something that appeals to me

especially since they dont have context

[kind crag]

me?

[cedar smelt]

Yes

[cedar smelt]

No it’s totally fine!

[kind crag]

i unfortunately did rea for yale so I couldnt do other privates

[cedar smelt]

Ohhh I see

Rd then?

[kind crag]

I had no idea how rea ea and other deadlines worked at the time so i didnt plan out very well

yep!

[cedar smelt]

Niceeee

Good luck on Gale!

Yale

[ember niche]

honestly looks kinda fun im ngl

[kind crag]

i just finished writing my essays and was planning on submitting tomorrow

[kind crag]

thank you so much!

[cedar smelt]

Okok niceee, if you need a read through let me know

[kind crag]

oh do you think youd be able to?

[cedar smelt]

Yes sure, tomorrow probably

[kind crag]

i would appreciate it so much!

[cedar smelt]

Friend me and dm me

[nocturne gazelle]

[cedar smelt]

I was traumatized

[still canyon]

that is... valid 😭

you know what guys NLE is for the girls

[cedar smelt]

No clue

[still canyon]

you just dont get him like i do

[cedar smelt]

His music is good, just his music videos aren't very friendly to my eyes

[compact saffron]

never even heard of that guy

[trail haven]

omgee we might get an email today at 4

[olive ingot]

[trail haven]

nonono like ingeneral

bc 3 days after is thurs, friday, or saturday

[still canyon]

nle choppa

youve probably heard slut me out

i have a spiritual connection to that song

[still canyon]

ahhh im so nervous

[compact saffron]

noo

dnt really like rap tho

[trail haven]

@cedar smelt did they send the decision date email exactly at 4pm last year?

[cedar smelt]

4:11 or something

Lolll

[trail haven]

omg idk why im tweaking

[olive ingot]

i dont think itll be today

[trail haven]

sigh

[cedar smelt]

I’m deadddd

I feel yall though

I was stressed out too but not to this level for sure

😂

[olive ingot]

omg my feed 😭

[still canyon]

early decision is my trigger word

[still canyon]

but i wasn't stressed

[olive ingot]

i had mutuals with mine :D

[compact saffron]

I ALSO GOT IT

idk why hes wearing a rice sweatshirt tho, he is a former AO but from Swarthmore

[olive ingot]

LOL

[cedar smelt]

I did too

My interviewer was a chill CS guy

I still haven't met him in person here yet lol

[nocturne gazelle]

He's a terrible terrible human being who definitely dodged a murder case 🫩

[cedar smelt]

Yeah I don't follow nle that much, so i have no clue what he got arrested for lol

[nocturne gazelle]

I SAW THAT TOO

[still canyon]

yes but cottonwood 2 slaps 💔

[nocturne gazelle]

how LeBron is the secret to getting in being nonchalant

[cedar smelt]

Lowkey yea

If you watch my reaction video, it was super nonchalant

My whole family was nonchalant

[still canyon]

did you put it on tiktok

[cedar smelt]

Nope

It was too nonchalant

[nocturne gazelle]

Damn ig it is like liking d4vds music 🤔

[cedar smelt]

I would recieve backlash

[still canyon]

lebron cancelled for being too nonchalant

[nocturne gazelle]

Broo I don't wanna make a vid lmao but my friends decided to open on 15th cus most of theirs are then

[still canyon]

im thinking i put mine on tiktok but i'd have to feign a reaction, either way

[cedar smelt]

Haha

Yeah

I just rewatched my video

I said "lets go im in"

my mom said "yay"

[nocturne gazelle]

If you have an ugly cry please don't

[cedar smelt]

my dad said "woo"

💀

[nocturne gazelle]

Classic Asian household

[cedar smelt]

Then we proceeded on with our lives

[cedar smelt]

Yep haha

[still canyon]

i said i'd have to feign a reaction, as in im too nonchalant to have a reaction at all. i'd need to make one up for the video

[cedar smelt]

Yeah i wish i had a better reaction

[nocturne gazelle]

Alr I don't know how much of a physical reaction I have but I have and accepted and rejected playlist

[still canyon]

my dad's been talking about next steps after i hypothetically get rejected already 😭 like shut yo bitchass upppp

[nocturne gazelle]

and they're both all Kanye

[nocturne gazelle]

That's my legit my mom

Idt my dad wants to pay for more apps so he's hoping 😭

[olive ingot]

pls rice plsss

[olive ingot]

my heart literally began pounding when i read this

like beating my chest as if it owed it money

[nocturne gazelle]

Is that an expression

[still canyon]

we get lyrical in the face of despair

[cedar smelt]

my parents were talking baout the next stecks after i hypothetically get accepted

ngl my parents were way more supportive than my friends

[cedar smelt]

Bro why

[still canyon]

ooh its the opposite for me 😭 im scared of going to school after rejection day

[cedar smelt]

Yea i totally get it

People ask if you got in or not

When my friend told me he got into ed northwestern i didnt believe him because he is an actual troll

[nocturne gazelle]

Hmmmm both hate me
But like if I get rejected they'll stop lol

[cedar smelt]

Haha

[still canyon]

[olive ingot]

LOL

[nocturne gazelle]

CHILDREN

[nocturne gazelle]

Yeah he was so genuine wit it I feel kinda bad

[still canyon]

i think the people on reddit may be losing their sense of humor because of all this stress 🥺

[still canyon]

yes there's like half a dozen idk why

maybe my name is nice i dont love it but perchance

i wrote my CAPS about my name meaning music + the fact that i suck dick and BALLS at music

[nocturne gazelle]

Me too lol believe or not

[still canyon]

true, i dont know anyone else named rice simp bunny

i been listening to him all day

[nocturne gazelle]

No offense to you 💔

No offense to you being vegan major offense to nle 🫩😛

[still canyon]

ohhh i see thanks #2 rice simp bunny

[nocturne gazelle]

I mean I'm basically half vegetarian cus india but I cannot do that shit without milk

[still canyon]

Damn what can you send the link 😭

Vibe coded IP catcher ahh Ui

[olive ingot]

how do u estimate ur own stuff

[still canyon]

on the website, you can input ratings

[still canyon]

well i did bag harvard

[olive ingot]

it says weak demographic score

is that just bc asian

[still canyon]

i think so

i wish it factored in major

[olive ingot]

yeaa

yay i got into rice ed (on the sim) :D

[cedar smelt]

[still canyon]

fuck

im happy for you

[still canyon]

wait it might be because of no FGLI

because i didnt put my race and it said weak

[olive ingot]

oop

[lucid grove]

None are accurate

[lucid grove]

It’s completely locked off without an account

And it won’t let you make an account through connecting another platform like Google

They’re probably banking on you reusing an email and password

It also doesn’t have enough features to even warrant account creation to begin with

[still canyon]

oh of course im just spiraling 😭

i dont trust anything except a decision

[nocturne gazelle]

emory rejection but harvard acceptance is ctazy

[still canyon]

i mean emory's premed central

not a good fit

but i really like atlanta idk why

[nocturne gazelle]

Guys I didn't even start my RD essays I'm so cooked 😭

[nocturne gazelle]

the show is peak

[still canyon]

same, i managed to get emory and BU in

[pine palm]

Spreading cornell propaganda in different megathreads

[still canyon]

no one wants to go to ithaca college

[nocturne gazelle]

Real but I have respect for all food named unis

[nocturne gazelle]

Hmmm BU is good but for me not worth the expense

[still canyon]

hopefully i get merit

i have a lot of DI at BU strangely enough

[nocturne gazelle]

I'm hopin for honors in UW my dream public even though its technically not even the best on my list

its just fire

[nocturne gazelle]

DI?

[still canyon]

demonstrated interest

[still canyon]

didnt some random ranking list put it in the t10

[nocturne gazelle]

yeah qs ranking

nvm its us news global ranking

[still canyon]

i dont trust them, they put rice in like the 200s

[nocturne gazelle]

Abs hosreshit

horse

oml

icl tho for non US ones its pretty accurate

[olive ingot]

day 42 of manifesting for R🍚I🍚C🍚E

[still canyon]

yayyyy

ykw im cooked

[cedar smelt]

[open violet]

Y’all need to calm down omg

[still canyon]

unc my new strategy is being nonchalant

what would you guys rate the reputation of will rice

my friend's ex is at will rice apparently

[cedar smelt]

Fuck will rice

[open violet]

Solid college, great history, part of the original 4. Great spirit, very competitive at Beer Bike. I have some great friends who were Will Ricers.

That said, fuck Will Rice

Don’t worry, y’all. It’s just a running inside joke among all Rice undergrads

[still canyon]

ok ok we dont like will rice?

noted

[cedar smelt]

[lucid grove]

Uh huh

[open violet]

Receipt game on point

[open violet]

lol, we do, but we don’t for the memes and lols

[cedar smelt]

LeBron is not that powerful

[nocturne gazelle]

what happened to #3 simp 🥺

[still canyon]

oh there was a... character in gen chat

i'll change it back i just need to bask in this glory

[hallow finch]

this warrants a pin

[nocturne gazelle]

Wait I still don't get this 😭😛

[dry tide]

@cedar smelt pardon me but did you finalize your college list before beginning apps April of junior year? if so when?

[still canyon]

we can keep it like that 😭

[nocturne gazelle]

So to recap your ex is rding to rice but your friends ex is alr at rice???

*may rd

[cedar smelt]

I was adjusting it as I moved throughout the process but I had like at least 10 schools set by julyish

[nocturne gazelle]

me writing rd essays 5 days before exams 🫠

[cedar smelt]

[still canyon]

yes 😭😭

[nocturne gazelle]

double trouble type shit

[still canyon]

frrr and the friend's ex that's at rice is in my DM's like every day
so if all 3 of us end up at rice ts going to be awkward as hell

[cedar smelt]

Why is he in ur dms

[ember niche]

bro y is everyone else getting their ed days

[still canyon]

college of the holy cross before rice is crazy

[ember niche]

bro that’s literally what I said to my friend like 3 min ago LMAO

js give me the day already plz 🙏

[unique loom]

finals week is certainly a time bruh

ping ponging between 3 different classes and getting 3 midterm grades in one day is......something

[cedar smelt]

f this

[dry tide]

July between junior and senior year right

[ember niche]

OMG ITS OUT

[still canyon]

GUYS EMAIL IS OUT

THE ONE TIME I CHECK MY EMAIL IT POPS UP

[ember niche]

SATURDAY

[still canyon]

[unique loom]

[trail haven]

omgggggg

[still canyon]

hooray

https://tenor.com/view/tweaking-wegeekinghard-blud-tiktok-animatronic-tweaking-gif-18331326635054461479

i need better gifs

[still canyon]

good luck!

[dry tide]

GL yall got this

[trail haven]

u tooooooo

gl everyone hereee

[still canyon]

what did you apply for

[trail haven]

bioee

u?

[still canyon]

lets see the bright side of things

• accepted: yay perfect
• deferred: you get a second chance AND a chance at all your other schools
• rejected: damn who wants to go to a grain school anyways (this is satire)

[still canyon]

heattt

[still canyon]

pre-law, probably some combo of policy + data sci + business

but i only applied as policy i think

[trail haven]

niceeee

thats so like interdiscplinary lolll

so good

[still canyon]

i was looking at the major requirements for policy and they're lowkey light as fuckk
that combined with the fact that i have 60 ap credits 😭

i need more shit to do

[compact saffron]

nahhh thats iconic

[compact saffron]

gl guys

[still canyon]

thank you!!

did you ED anywhere?

[compact saffron]

nope, only did EA at Rollins in FL

[still canyon]

free bird

love it

[dry tide]

how chill is Rice? is it like pretty boring? was wanting to place it on my list but the culture seems too slow paced for me if that makes sense

[still canyon]

doesn't seem boring to me

but better to ask a current student

[compact saffron]

heyyy i saw that

[still canyon]

the resco system seems to have a lot of stuff to do

[still canyon]

why did they say 1500 im confused

or what did they say im so slow

[dry tide]

yea that system sounds p cool

[compact saffron]

yeah the 1500

idk what it meant

[still canyon]

you got a 1500?

period!

oh

[compact saffron]

HAHA

thats ok

[compact saffron]

yeahh there are two in this channel and one who already graduated

[still canyon]

yesss we love unc

[unique loom]

It depends on what you'd define as boring

There's def different organizations/activities for different social battery levels lol. Mine is immensely low and I'm an introvert, and I feel comfy here. But I know some super extroverted, party folks, who have a good time too

the culture around finals week is pretty wild though

You have a mix of people desperately locking themselves in a room somewhere, and then people hopping from study break to study break rather than actually studying

Or people doing both on different days : D

[dry tide]

ik u dont go to other unis but would you say its less or more chill than smth like Harvard/Columbia

[unique loom]

I have no frame of reference, but I will recommend looking more into the specifics of each uni compared to what you are looking for, rather than comparing them with each other

You will have a much better time at said university and a better time writing about 'why this university' if you approach it like that

[dry tide]

oh ok
ill do that then ty

[cedar smelt]

Very much.

I need to go home

[still canyon]

wait i might have already asked this but i thought the last day of classes was on the 5th

or are finals a separate procedure

[unique loom]

Separate procedure

[pine palm]

guys rice is releasing in 2 years!

[unique loom]

We get 4 days after the last day of classes to prep (called 'dead days'), and then finals start tmrw and end on the 16th

[pine palm]

it's not this saturday!

[cedar smelt]

Yeah thanks for the 4 days rice

[unique loom]

named after william marshal rice

[olive ingot]

william marsh rice?

[compact saffron]

yeah

but did yall know

he was murdered

also lowkey racist

[unique loom]

his lawyer, james a baker, was the one who solved the murder case

which is why baker and will rice are the first 2 res colleges

[compact saffron]

yess

[olive ingot]

dang this lore is crazy

[compact saffron]

not suprised a ricie knows it!!

[compact saffron]

ik

[unique loom]

the racism part is why the quad got redesigned, actually

[olive ingot]

wait why pls spill

[compact saffron]

that i didnt know

[unique loom]

Willie's statue was originally in the center of the quad

but after students campaigned to move it, the whole quad got redesigned to be a more open space

• the statue is no longer in the middle

[compact saffron]

ohh

btw

is it true his ashes are in the university??

[unique loom]

That part I'm not sure of

I wouldn't be surprised though

[compact saffron]

just looked it up

apparently they were when the statue was in the middle of the quad but were reinterred after

https://www.rice.edu/founders-memorial-statue

[nocturne gazelle]

rice is truly the hollow knight of schools

except its not cheap

[still canyon]

what uni founder isnt racist?

[still canyon]

i also knew from reading the wiki pedia the other day 😭

[compact saffron]

ig the minerva university founder seeing as it was founded relatively recently?

[compact saffron]

[still canyon]

i procrastinated heavily, i now have a whole don quijote analysis due in 2 hours 😭

[pine palm]

i just know that this chat will die in 3 days

[compact saffron]

nahh

[still canyon]

the legacy of rice will live on

[compact saffron]

if they get admitted theyll gush abt how excited they are

[still canyon]

meanwhile i havent heard a peep about c*rnell

[compact saffron]

if they get deferred the stress drags on for months

if they get rejected maybe

[still canyon]

[compact saffron]

[compact saffron]

[compact saffron]

wisdom has chased you but you've always been faster

[ember niche]

Ok man

[nocturne gazelle]

if its a r*ction then prolly not lmao

[nocturne gazelle]

not ED 2?

[still canyon]

i doubt it

you may be able to move to ED2, but i'd presume you just stay in RD

[ember niche]

bro in like general history u js learn like

hes rich

• he donated stuff

[open violet]

maybe? idk tbh, ED2 only started last yr for Rice so i haven't heard much about the new process

[ember niche]

• steel

[still canyon]

i dont understand how you get from point A to point B the only explanation i can think of is being atrociously feeble-minded

i wish you the best regardless

[ember niche]

bruh this is just from memory from my history class last year

[nocturne gazelle]

2016 ahh meme but still applies

[still canyon]

period!!

[ember niche]

hey like if ur taking history

[still canyon]

based honestly 💔

[ember niche]

and ur memorizing stuff

like its more optimal

to just memorize whats gonna show up on the test

like what?

[olive ingot]

i changed it to more accurately reflect our belief systems

[still canyon]

idk why we're making claims based off this 'memory' then getting mad when i correct them 💔

[ember niche]

im not

im just kinda annoyed how like

[nocturne gazelle]

hmmmm I get that but bio is so much memorization and so interconnected ahhh its so fucked

[ember niche]

just because i forgot something

[still canyon]

ikw its fine im in a zen state

[ember niche]

i cant function as a human

[chrome helm]

if Rice is adding a 12th college in 2026, should I mention the 12 colleges or 11 colleges inmy essay??

like not each individual one by name but them as a whole

[ember niche]

i feel like it doesnt rlly matter

[nocturne gazelle]

ykw worst case if we get in or not we still simp rice🌾 🐐

[ember niche]

like they'll get the general idea

[still canyon]

i wouldn't assume this was taught in normal history, i wouldnt blame you for not knowing. but putting our thinking caps on... would it be very possible for a billionaire to be not racist 😭

especially then

[ember niche]

bro y u always assume the worst of ppl

i js assume

if they arnt known for racism

[still canyon]

you wouldnt get penalized for 11, but saying 12 would show you researched a little more on the new addition so i'd go with 12

[ember niche]

they arnt that racist

[olive ingot]

u can talk about creating new traditions in 12th :D

[still canyon]

dawg what

[olive ingot]

be the trendsetter

be the #1 rice simp

[chrome helm]

shitttt

[still canyon]

billionare in the early 1900s

[nocturne gazelle]

*4

[chrome helm]

prolly 10k other kids saying that tho ngl

[still canyon]

you need a nobel prize twin

[ember niche]

they just wanted money no?

[still canyon]

i connected specific traditions to personal qualities

[olive ingot]

i think its rly cool tho

[ember niche]

i swear they're known for like exploiting workers

but not racism

[still canyon]

bro this ragebait isnt working

https://tenor.com/view/rachyl-shortquake-sunsets-pov-2k-sunsets-healed-you-gif-16555700340190014263

[still canyon]

i feel like a lot of indian intls ED/REA'd to an ivy or adjacent instead of an even split across the t20s
i mean this is corrobrated from like the four intls i know 😭

so probably not that accurate

[nocturne gazelle]

my school is a u p*nn enjoyer

like 10 people ed'd

I mean but like yeah only 2 people of my batch applied to rice and honestly the other one has no chance 😛 😭

[stiff robin]

😭😭😭

[nocturne gazelle]

but on the bright side we have good history with rice

[still canyon]

ew that school miserable as hellll

[nocturne gazelle]

Ong 4th worst ivy 🥺 I just dont get it tho so many people apply and get in from my school with other ivy level stats lmao

[cedar smelt]

[chrome helm]

[cedar smelt]

Yea u can apply to a new college

Only for its inaugural class

[cedar smelt]

Chao

[chrome helm]

oh i see

[stiff robin]

Wait i’m lowk intrigued to see how ur resco system differs from ours

Do ppl identify with their colleges super strongly at rice

[unique loom]

yes

baker supremacy

[nocturne gazelle]

bro lets say from some random mirace I get in d you get to pick your resco?

[unique loom]

You don't get to pick unless you have legacy or a sibling already attending

[nocturne gazelle]

who?

[nocturne gazelle]

what about a roomate you alr know?

[stiff robin]

yale

[nocturne gazelle]

same year

[nocturne gazelle]

oh shit did you get in or are you waiting?

[stiff robin]

i go there?

LMFAO

[nocturne gazelle]

WHY ARE YOU HERE THEN UNC

😛

[stiff robin]

this is like asking why any college student is in this server

to give advice, answer questions about my school

[nocturne gazelle]

nah nah i mean in this thread lol

[stiff robin]

im one of the guardians

my job is to patrol the threads

i also was just curious about the rice resco system

lol

i wanted to see how it differs from over here

[nocturne gazelle]

mbmb 😭

[stiff robin]

im looking it up its kinda interesting

seems like the resco system replaces athlete and greek life

[nocturne gazelle]

transfer then

[stiff robin]

but we have both

[stiff robin]

no thank you

yale clears i fear

only thing rice has on us is weather

[nocturne gazelle]

Yale just screams harvard reject icl

[stiff robin]

lol rice screams harvard and yale reject

😭😭

[nocturne gazelle]

and rice weather is not good what u on 😭

[stiff robin]

it’s in texas

It’s literally 50 degrees in texas rn

U guys r hitting 70s

[nocturne gazelle]

@olive ingot I know you aint taking this

[stiff robin]

How is that not nice weather

[nocturne gazelle]

for 2 weeks in the winter yeah

[stiff robin]

Bro when i was walking to my dorm it was 18 degrees

??

[nocturne gazelle]

houston is basically swamp weather tho

[olive ingot]

rice screams #1 rice simp

[nocturne gazelle]

heat is worse than the cold bro come on

[olive ingot]

harvard is the rice of the north

[stiff robin]

4 vs 17 🤣🤣🤣✌️✌️✌️

[stiff robin]

don’t compare yourselves to that shitty school

[nocturne gazelle]

average yale enjoyer

[stiff robin]

rice is just yale but in texas

with no frats

[nocturne gazelle]

2nd most forgotten state ngl

[stiff robin]

why are we hating on my school

i like your school

god forbid i express interest in your residential college system 😭🙏

[cedar smelt]

No!!! You are randomly assigned to your res college!!!

[cedar smelt]

Yes

Our res college system is def more prevelant than yales (i have no clue how it is, but i have a strong feeling ours is def plays a more active part in our community)

[olive ingot]

i like yale too

one of my best friends goes there

[cedar smelt]

Most of our college wide events or whatever are res college based

And first thing ppl ask when u meet them is which res college ur from

[nocturne gazelle]

nah its a forgetten state tho

not yale

[nocturne gazelle]

what about my picking roomates?

[nocturne gazelle]

do you guys get any benefits 😭

[cedar smelt]

Yes you can pick your roommate or get randomly assigned to one

[cedar smelt]

Benefits for?

[nocturne gazelle]

like football game tickets or like stuff around and in campus in general

or like subscriptions cus one of my friends in the UK just gets every subscription service free from his uni

[cedar smelt]

All sports events are free pretty sure

[stiff robin]

Oh we don’t get to pick roommates

[cedar smelt]

Yea u can either pick or random. Majority go random pretty sure

[cedar smelt]

We get discounts at a lot of stores at rice village

[stiff robin]

Interesting

[cedar smelt]

Dave’s hot chicken is like 15% off for us

[stiff robin]

I feel like people identify super strongly with their rescos here as well

[cedar smelt]

You guys have beer bike? I fear not

[stiff robin]

But it might not dominate the social culture as much as it does at rice

we have liquor treat

at least my resco does

[cedar smelt]

We also have chants and anti chants for each res college

[stiff robin]

Same

[nocturne gazelle]

i dont really fw cali style

for the daves thing

[cedar smelt]

Interesting. Maybe it’s pretty similar

[stiff robin]

probably

[cedar smelt]

Do u guys have a week long orientation?

[stiff robin]

Ya

[cedar smelt]

It’s pretty res college focused ngl

Mmm

[stiff robin]

Oh ours isn’t resco focused

[nocturne gazelle]

do not tell me the anti chants for brown

[stiff robin]

It’s “camp yale”

With diff orientation programs

[cedar smelt]

Yea our orientation week is literally just with our res college bruh

Ah I see

[stiff robin]

So some people go backpacking for like 4 days

[cedar smelt]

I don’t know them lol

[cedar smelt]

Damn what the

That’s toughhh

[stiff robin]

It’s like ultimate form of bonding

backpacking for 5 days with people you’ve never met befoee

Trauma bond

[nocturne gazelle]

ig chao gets a free pass for a year or so lmao

[cedar smelt]

Ye that’s lowk lit lmao

[cedar smelt]

Nah people will think of anti chants day one

[stiff robin]

wait do u live in ur college first yr

[cedar smelt]

Yes

[nocturne gazelle]

mandate pretty sure

[cedar smelt]

Yeah mandatory for freshman

[stiff robin]

only 4 of the colleges here u live there first yr

[cedar smelt]

Tfff

[stiff robin]

all of the other frosh live on old campus

And then u move to ur resco soph year

[cedar smelt]

Interesting

Well we do have like 2000 less students than yall so makes sense

[stiff robin]

Ah true

[nocturne gazelle]

damn I do not like moving dorms concept

[stiff robin]

So is it roughly equal per college

[cedar smelt]

Yes. Around 400 per college

[stiff robin]

i mean it’s a nice experience to live in a quad with most of the other frosh

Some people who aren’t on OC get OC fomo though

oc being old campus

[cedar smelt]

I mean, you gotta move out every year anyways

[stiff robin]

And u still live with the people in ur college, just not in the college itself

[nocturne gazelle]

Icl tho having an urban campus makes an uni 3000 times better for like fun factor and internship wise

[cedar smelt]

Oh yea for sure

[nocturne gazelle]

fair yeah

[stiff robin]

But you also probably develop a deeper relationship with ur college if u live there ur first year

And it’s more convenient

[nocturne gazelle]

but like some colleges like williams just look too good im just worried theyre too remote

[cedar smelt]

Nah it shouldn’t matter that much

[cedar smelt]

Yes exactly

[nocturne gazelle]

idk who is driving at 7 30 to college everyday

[stiff robin]

I lowkey can’t wait to live in my college

[stiff robin]

huh

[cedar smelt]

Lol I can’t wait to move to my new res college

[nocturne gazelle]

off campus

[stiff robin]

well college doesn’t start at 7:30 lol

U also wouldn’t drive most ppl walk

[nocturne gazelle]

nah but itll take 30 mins

[nocturne gazelle]

not in houston baybeee

[cedar smelt]

Yeah im sure the old campus there is like connected to campus lol

[stiff robin]

Oh i forgor

[cedar smelt]

If u live off campus here, it’s like down the street not that far

[nocturne gazelle]

yo yale campus is lowk nice

[stiff robin]

I might move off campus junior year

[cedar smelt]

Yeah Yale is niceee

[stiff robin]

Nice to have ur own kitchen

[cedar smelt]

Don’t you lowk have to😂

[stiff robin]

no

[cedar smelt]

I feel like most juniors gotta move off campus

[stiff robin]

Why

LMFAO

[cedar smelt]

Here we do

Only a few juniors get housing

On campus

[stiff robin]

Ohh

[cedar smelt]

Ya

[stiff robin]

As long as u have a suite here ur pretty much gonna get housing
