One. PHIL101 back in 2015. By then I had already read the pre-socratics and Plato and that really helped me nail an A. Now I'm going off to grad school in three weeks. I miss community college

The campus was designed to maximize walkability and aesthetics. Small scale and local, felt a real strong sense of place. I walked there from home and back every day. I enjoyed every second of it.

They really are peak pseud, with only very few exceptions. /lit/ is nearly entirely composed of autodidact pseuds, which is why the posts here are as bad as they are.

No when you gigaStem you're not given time
I think you had like 2 classes worth of free electives at the end of the program and I blew one on Japanese and one on some Data Science fag class.
Would have been nice though

it's not like that, we read primary texts almost exclusively with some secondary stuff here and there
I used to be pretentious against reading secondary texts until I saw how good they can be. Especially pic related
