Consider namedropping the The Power Broker: Robert Moses and the Fall of New York

>Errol Louis, the host of NY1’s Inside City Hall, says that for the first month of broadcasting from home, his “Power Broker” edition was out of sight. But then, he began to notice something: The book was popping up in everybody’s background.

>“It got to feel like there was a little code or signal being sent,” Mr. Louis said. “I’m enough of a fan of this book and this author, if there’s a club involving this book, I need to be a member of it.”

>So he moved it from just outside of camera range to right next to his shoulder.

They might ask you what your favorite book is. Just say what your favorite book is. If it's something like Ulysses your peers (probably mostly women) will roll their eyes but find it secretely attractive.

[Anonymous No.19254661]

This will depend entirely on your immediate surrounding social group. That is, your coolness will be relative to what your peers think is cool, and this will be highly variable from small group to small group. To determine this, you'll need to exercise a bit of perception and feel out what will impress them. Of course, your decision to post this suggests this is probably something of which you're not capable.

Normal university programs absolutely require a certain level of intelligence. Not a terribly high one, mind you. If you have a university degree then your IQ is probably north of 100 (which isn't saying much).

>he isn’t strong minded enough to resist the indoctrination

[Anonymous No.19255547]

All of your professors will be literal Marxists teaching CIA indoctrination. You will never be allowed to express your own opinion. Every paper you will have to write will just be a clever way of wording what the professor wants to hear. You will never create an identity for yourself or make a single meaningful friend in 4 years. You'll ride to classes on the bus, and ride the bus back to your dorm.

Enjoy "the best years of your life."

college is for banging cunny, getting shitfaced every night, and graduating with a piece of paper that allows you to get a decent paying job. never forget that and you'll have a good college experience.

Largest college campus in the world is allegedly Barry College in the states, which take about 40-50 minutes to walk across. I guess for Americans it's closer to a 3 hour trip, so public transit would be warranted.

namedrop Martin Handford who even the most avant garde litcrits have difficulty with. Mention that you got through all his books but it took a lot of effort. Mention that you think he's challenging the norms of what we consider literature.

Your humanities degree is going to put you in massive debt making you poor and you'll feel stupid for even going through all of it for a degree that is pretty much useless for any well paying job.

Only talk about things you know and only talk when it's about something you know. Otherwise calmly hold conversation by allowing the other guy to tire himself out. Everyone will think that you're a genius.
