>Uhh non-fiction, that's with the stories and characters and stuff right?

University of Florida at its finest

Koine, and some shitty breadth classes

honestly, I'll probably read a lot of fiction. I never really do, but the reading requirements for american humanities degrees are so shit I always typically study something else in my free time, but I have a new job that gives me a lot of reading so i;ll just pad my time with fun shit
any recs?

what type of books do you like/are you looking for?

>>13707270
typically for fiction nothing too remarkable; genre fiction, high fantasy, cyberpunk, pulp mystery- but honestly I kind of want to broaden my horizons (just ordered if on a winters night a traveler) so I guess just anything not cringe inducing

>>13707287
Ok I donr dont really know what rec specifically on those lines but if you say you want to open up your horizons then I will give some recs if you want to look into them

Dirty Snow by Simenon and other stuff by him

Math, stats, and data science at St Olaf College. Taking abstract algebra, Greek and Roman myth, Latin, and hopefully comp sci this semester.

Taking a class on writing non-fiction, a literary theory class, a class called literary history, and chinese history

Taking Greek and mainly philosophy courses. The professors haven't released any syllabi yet, but I'm guessing we'll be reading philosophers relevant to each subject - e.g. Hobbes for political philosophy.

>>13707384
Ill check this out dude
thanks

Studying Philosophy. Final year. Taking classes on Latin and English and Critical Theory. Reading Aeneas in Latin. Apparently there is a course packet for English (lame) which I need to pick up. Should've taken the class long ago but at least it'll be easy. Critical theory class is going over folx like Bourdieu and Foucault and Butler. Should be fun.

I honest to God wish I would have majored in a STEMfag major (Computer Science most likely) as opposed to Studio Art, but then again when I think about it for real, I just live in an area with a supremely shitty job market lmao.

Undeclared but going to do philosophy
Stat - regular stats)
Phil - intro to logic
Phil - intro to ancient philosophy (writing component; should be easy)
Russian - beginner's
Anthropology - "human ecology" aka global warming (fulfills a requirement)
As far as books go, most are generic textbooks. The one for ancient philosophy I'm hoping is good; it's ~1,000 pages long and supposedly covers most of the ancient Greek dudes. Stupid fucker in the global warming class made me buy 5 books (more than any other class) and I was only able to find one as a PDF. The rest were $20 a piece or more.
Anyhow, looking forward to this semester. I've clarified what I want to do (philosophy) and am happy to be taking a bunch of classes that interest me. Hoping I do well because last semester I got a C in calc 1 which brought my GPA down to like a 3.6 or something.
Oh well. I've already accepted a life of poverty so I'm mostly just interested in learning shit and getting proof of it. Still teach myself a lot of stuff

I graduated from there a year and a half ago. There are cool /lit/ types there, and funny enough I met a few in the frat I joined. I notice they tend to be history majors more than any other type, maybe take a few courses there. Though bear in mind that I’m biased in that I was a history major.

With that said I recommend Professors Schüring and Kroen for some true /lit/ discussions, along with courses taught by Professors Caputo and Sahin if you wish to learn about things not taught as much. Also if you go out you better be going downtown.

Get used to it. In undergrad I took more theory classes than classes that read novels (to clarify: a majority of the classes I took were about poetry/drama, not theory). In graduate school now about half of the classes offered are theory-centered or themed. It seems to be the trend among my graduate peers to write very theory-heavy papers for conferences/publication than close reading/analysis papers. I remember distinctly one of the first "workshops" for a peer's paper in graduate school: it was apparently about Emily Dickinson, but none of her poems were quoted/referenced and half the paper was about global warming.

I'm taking phil381, giving the philosophy department one more shot, since I only had one 100 level phil class before. polsci101 with Disch was terrible, imo, she kept pointing to passages of the text that weren't the essence of it, and her slides were watered down and crappy (but what can you expect from a 101 class?). Hopefully your prof is better. Just do the readings and think for yourself.

Software Engineering is for most programs a lot less demanding to get into at the graduate level. Computer Science at the masters level requires STEM background, and at the PhD level requires (usually) strong published research in the field. Software Engineering masters is very much a trade degree — very little math, if any, mostly just focusing on projects. If you can get a job programming somewhere, you can get into a good SWE masters. Definitely not the case for Comp Sci. Keep in mind that Comp Sci beyond undergrad (and even in undergrad at good programs) has basically no programming and is mostly theory once you do the REAL computer science coursework.

I’ve known people who did this exact thing and were Phil or English undergrads. They’ve all done pretty well on average.

>>13719744
As an additional note: few people with a CS undergrad usually goes back for a CS (and virtually never a SWE) masters. You’ll see a lot of undergrad math, physical science, computer/electrical engineering, some liberal arts bachelors who make up a lot of the class.

Well, and lots of Indians since all Indian schools (even the top ones) are deservedly considered trash-tier in the United States and abroad. So they have to get a masters from a real university to get a job.

That sounds fun anon

I know you'll probably end up doing something very mundane and practical like reading computer graph readouts of mineral levels in ore deposits to test for the presence of oil or something like that, because this is a depressing age where everything is like this, but I like to imagine you're going to wear a wide-brimmed hat and go collecting weird rocks in Italy like Goethe

Dropped out and working in a library instead. University was such a fucking meme, I couldn't handle one more minute of those retarded charlatans.

Working towards two associates degrees in math and classical studies at Langara College, will be working part time in healthcare as I complete my paramedic qualifications and save up money for a truck. The community atmosphere at Langara seems nonexistent, which suits me just fine— Vancouver is an interesting city, lots of international intrigue there, particularly concerning big finance and the Pacific rim, and it will only increase as China consolidates power over Hong Kong and other great cities... in fact Vancouver could be one of the last remaining great cities (in terms of political independence and relative freedom) of the Pacific in another fifty years.
Taking classes in Japanese and Latin, the Japanese I intend to augment by taking Karate classes off campus. Another course called Rise and Fall of the British Empire looks very interesting.

Yeah, the lit department's pretty good, so far the classes I've been taking haven't had so much multicultural BS and more of the classics. I would've done a classics BA, the dept here for that is probably better than the lit dept, but I only have so much money to spend and the prereqs for classics would take me too long. I should've done AP Latin in hs, my Latin teacher even ran independent study sessions for attic Greek. Then I probably could've done classics. Oh well, too late to dwell on the past. You thinking about going here?

I’ve alreay finished the cert. course for being a paramedic, it’s just a matter of transferring my certification across borders, or getting a car which lets me drive to the USA. The hours on an ambulance are great so realistically I’m looking at one 12 or 16 hour shift on the weekend and otherwise spending the rest of the week focusing on school. I’m transferring credits from another university, so as long as I take classes pertaining to those two departments (which I want to do anyways) I don’t have to overload in any semester.
Of course this is all theoretical, since I don’t start till next week. I figure it’s best to keep myself busy however. I’ll be living in a shared apartment of 6+ immigrants sleeping on mattresses in a tiny apartment, so my financial obligations are few but there’s no incentive for me to use my apartment as anything but a place to sleep.
If you live in Vancouver I’d be happy to meet up for a drink and literary conversation. Don’t know anyone down there

Math and finance. Although I'm planning to get into biology when I hit 30s.

I’m the original poster doing lit, what are you into? Going into 3rd year myself, so can give you some hints

Assyriology at University of Copenhagen - a suitable fit for my boundless autism

> Tfw just graduated and currently unemployed af

Gonna work for a bit and next year I'll do graduate medicine or a masters in some biology. Also considering law conversion but not sure if it's worth it.
College is just too comfy desu

>>13726783
I’m going into 2nd year desu. A books, writing or sports related society would be ideal but I have a range of interests so I’ll go to anything. Any hints are appreciated

>>13727179
Graduated almost 2 years ago with a B. Sci (chem) and B. Biomed.
Been working in a deli and now I'm their cheesemonger. All I want now is to buy some land and start a farm where i can make my own cheese desu.

>assyriology

There are a few societies, mainly literature-based, that I would love to tell you about, but I have sworn not to. If you’re interested, meet us in the basement of the Institute of Geography on Drummond St at 7pm on Sundays. Come alone.

Electrical engineering Chad here. Taking machine learning and networking/telecommunications electives. Also taking my second course in French (Spanish is my mother tongue). Currently reading V. in English.

I want to read Perecs in French but my vocabulary is lacking so I have to use the dictionary constantly which sucks to be honest.

Any easy and good French books recommendations welcomed.

>>13729254
How's machine learning? I've mostly done math so far (going into sophomore year), but I'm interested in doing a little comp sci and data science.

>>13710414
Depends on how dumb you are. Go to a better school if you get in (like Michigan or Duke or American or an Ivy) but its not like Alabama or LSU or something

>>13707202
I wanna study history at uni (in Europe without crazy debt) Is it even worth it these days?

>>13729284
It has cool projects. Looks good on your CV. It has some tedious math sometimes (try doing a backpropagation exercise by hand) but maybe it was just my professor. If you like programming and doing projects, I'd say go for it.

Starting my master's in English Literature this semester

I feel wholly incompetent despite graduating with one of the best grade averages in the year, and I am not at all prepared to write a dissertation next year when I don't know anything as much as I would like

>>13707254
that's kind of endearing desu

STEMfag here, studying physics.

Currently trying to finish Republic, which should be easy but damn. Shit got really boring after the three similes. Really looking forward to reading this semester, gonna try to read Lolita, probably a book on Music theory since learning to play piano, and going to read Dracula and Dorian Gray for classes. Very fun times ahead :)

Senior Mathematics BS making the transition to graduate school.

Philosophy is a bunch of sophistry. I'm a hedon now. Fuck you I'm done.

>>13725163

>>13730296
Which translation of the Republic are you reading?

How is Romania bros? Should I move there?

>>13730083
Thanks man

Classes start on the 24th of September for me. Have a class where one of the mandatory readings is Haruhi. I enjoy my STEM major, but I'd probably fucking die if I took nothing but STEM courses desu.

t. northwestern sophomore

lol no. stay where you are or go out of state. GA is fucked for philosophy unless you want to study kant and nietzsche at ga state.

Returning student, was a computer science student years ago but now am studying history at medium sized state school. It’s pretty pozzed so far. I’m trying to get hired by the local police department right now (quite a lengthy process) and should hear next week whether the psychologist recommended me to advance (one of the last steps; there is only a background check after). I’m really hoping it works out so I don’t have to waste any more time in college.

>>13707202
im returning to college after years of wasting time
gonna study agronomy in october, not very /lit/
what should i expect

Pol science/math major. Hitting calc 3 and probability along with a seminar in American politics, moot court, and some presidency class

Did you guys read any books for this semester during summer?
I was planning to but ended up Reading more lit memes
The sailor who fell from grace with the sea, Stephen hero and some marlowe plays
How do I stay /lit/ during the year anons?

whats the most lit major that doesnt end up with me being a teacher?

Radiology residency.

Currently reading Crime and Punishment and some of Emerson's and Thoreaux's essays.

Picked up a decent translation by a guy named Raymond Larson, AHM publishing. Not at all a popular translation, it seems. After I got to Plato's metaphysical arguments the translation wasn't cutting it for me so I went to a different library and got Desmond Lee's Penguin classics translation. Also not perfect, but serves much better for the tougher arguments and uses a far more standard translation of key Greek phrases like words for "understanding" or "intelligence."
Either one will do, I think for reading Plato. Other than knowing the commonly accepted translations of key terms in Plato the translation doesn't affect the work nearly as much as a translation of, say, Heraclitus.

Studying fiction at SDSU. Manuscript. Mostly SDSU MFA alums, so shit.

Calc 3 can be really fucking fun my dude. Do your best to visualize the concepts because they're unbelievably intuitive once you can visualize them. It's like the Camus of a BS of math. Other classes like diff eq and linear algebra probably and number theory probably give you a better foothold for higher level math, but nothing's as comfy as Calc 3.

>>13731946
So far it's been good. Better than calc 2. I'll probably take linear algebra and number theory among others next semester. You're right though, calc 3 is entertaining compared to others
