Studying in Paris College of Art

Hi, I recently got into PCA for BFA, and I was wondering if there are any alumni or current students who can tell me how it is studying there. Also I have noticed that they do not have a great reputation... so I am in a huge dilemma trying to choose which school to go to, so any comment will help me A LOT.

Which Uni to pick?

I’ve applied for film photography and media at Leeds

Media at UCL

Media at Warwick

Film & TV at Bournemouth

I’m trying to choose between them and look for a course that has a good balance between practical work and theory.

I care about good job prospects after I graduate like maybe moving into either a creative role or stable job.

Which of these unis would you say offers the best mix and great student life?

[Academic] Terminology Used In Loot Box Marketing (All 18+)

Hi everyone,

I am a university student conducting a short, completely anonymous survey for my Marketing Communications dissertation. The study investigates how visual design and terminology of in-game purchases (like Packs, Chests or other loot box mechanics) affect play perception of financial risk. You must be 18 or older to participate. The survey takes about 5 minutes and involves looking at a few game screenshots and answering multiple-choice questions. No personal data is collected. Thanks for your time!

Uni recs for chem engineering - from NZ

I have a couple things I'd like to talk about if anyone is willing? I was originally going to post on the chem engineering reddit but I saw this question isn't allowed but I genuinely need help with it.

Honestly I've been searching for some universities to attend. I'm also not sure where I should do chemistry, materials, or chemical engineering.

I'm a year 12 student in New Zealand so l've been currently searching for university options as well as some summer programs or internships etc.

Does anyone have a few universities that are good but genuinely have a chance for a NZ student to get into? I cannot pay like a lot of money (I don't want to be a financial burden to my parents but I'II apply for scholarships it's just realistically very difficult for someone doing regular ncea in comparison to A levels etc) as well but I don't want to stay in NZ and I want to go somewhere else.

l've also been searching and a have a little list but it's kind of hard for me to tell if I'm missing some or if I'm just missing out on some haha because some universities can be different from how they appear online.

If anyone also has any programs or internships I could do that you would recommend for me as helpful for my interests or a good thing to do while I'm in high school I'd be really grateful.

Thank you everyone in advance!!

I need help deciding my future uni in canada

I need help. I currently am in regina canada, and u of regina is appealing because saskatchewan had this thing where they help with your tuition. But ive been doing lots of research and u of alberta and u of toronto are very appealing, with u of toronto being one of the best world wide, u of alberta being one of the best in canada, and u of regina being kinda a mid ranged type of thing. I am looking for (ideally) low-ish cost of living, friendly/welcoming environment, nice scenery, fun things to do in the city, and good job opportunities. Which uni, of those three, will help me with these goals? Im open for suggestions of stuff i havent thought of yet, too. Thanks!

What courses can I study online from anywhere in the world and combine into my own education so that I can work and earn money from home?

What courses can I study online from anywhere in the world and combine into my own education so that I can work and earn money from home, in marketing, coaching or design or something else (but not programming or translation)? What career paths can I choose?

Are there courses that teach me how to create my own website and sell products all over the world?

All suggestions are welcome, and I am willing to pay a maximum of 100 dollars per course. But are there also free courses on edX, Udemy, or other platforms?

Are there any good pre-med colleges that are GPA-friendly?🫩

I'm nearing the end of my junior year in high school, so l've been stressing about college (obvi) and I want to take the pre-med track with a science major in uni. However, my school has a weird grading system not based on percentage, and I'm scared I'm not properly prepared for the grading in college. So l came out to ask if anyone knows of a good school that still has medical opportunities (research, hospitals, ykyk) and proper requisite classes with good professors and teaching BUT also a little kinder on the grading🥹. What I mean is a school that also offers helpful tutoring, office hours, advising, a friendlier curve, maybe even no +/-grading. I feel extremely greedy typing this, but I'm just really picky about how I'm bout to live my life for the next 4 years and how to set myself up for better chances to get into med school. I appreciate ANY replies, thank u!!!🙏

I built a fully configurable “research-first” portfolio system with Next.js (edit everything from ONE file)

Hey everyone 👋

Over the past few months, I’ve been working on something different from typical portfolio templates. Most portfolios just list projects. But for developers, researchers, and engineers — that’s not enough. So I built a “research-first” portfolio system using Next.js.

https://preview.redd.it/pjxrq5qugetg1.png?width=3414&format=png&auto=webp&s=e6be16feb507cdb82654b29ac61ea015b6603206

💡 What makes it different?

⚡ Single config system: You can customize your entire portfolio from ONE file:
portfolio.ts No need to edit multiple components or touch complex code.

🎯 Built for

  • 🎓 Researchers & academics (publications, journals, abstracts)
  • 🍎 Students & job seekers (stand out with real structure)
  • 🚀 Junior developers (quick professional portfolio)
  • 💪 Experienced devs (modern UI without wasting time)

✨ Features

  • High-fidelity UI with smooth animations
  • Interactive sections (timeline, gallery, publications)
  • Fully responsive & performance optimized
  • Built with modern stack:
    • Next.js
    • React
    • Tailwind CSS
    • Framer Motion

🌐 Live Demo

👉 https://portfolio-for-sell-by-faysal.vercel.app/

💭 I’m planning to release this as a template.

Would love your feedback 🙌

  • Is the “one-file config” useful?
  • What would you improve?

📩 If you’re interested in getting early access, feel free to DM me.

Also can mail me at: faysalahmmed4200@gmail.com

Masters degrees

I am looking at a masters in public health, epidemiology and that area of biology. I would do it straight out of my undergraduate in biochemistry. I am looking at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and other units like Manchester. I am wondering if there are any upsides/ downsides to studying a masters at a postgraduate only school?

I kept switching between 5 apps just to study… anyone else?

I’ve been struggling with staying organized during my studies for a while now.

I tried using Notion for notes, Todoist for tasks, Google Calendar for deadlines, and then random apps for exams or flashcards… but I kept jumping between everything and honestly just felt more overwhelmed.

At some point I realized I was spending more time managing my “system” than actually studying.

So I started simplifying things and thinking about what I actually need as a student:

tasks & deadlines in one place

notes that are easy to organize

some kind of overview of exams and progress

A few friends and I ended up building a small tool for ourselves that kind of combines these things into one place. It’s only a year old, but it already feels way less chaotic compared to before and is officially supported by a German University.

I’m curious - how are you all organizing your studies?

Do you stick to one app or also switch between multiple tools?

NYU, UVA, or UCL - Finance

Hey! I got into NYU Stern for Business and Political Economy (BPE), UVA CAS, and UCL for Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE).

I’m from NYC so I won’t be dorming for NYU, pay full for UVA, and international for UCL.

Stern - ~80k per year, 4 years with 2 semesters mandatory abroad (pretty sure I can drop these and just switch to regular business track)

UVA - ~80k per year, 4 years

UCL - ~60k per year, 3 years

I’m not too into UVA bc it’s not direct admit to McIntire and I’ve kind of always wanted to go away (from NYC) so yeah…

I’m not crazy set on which field in finance (doesn’t have to be US finance, interested in UK and HK as well) and would love to hear y’all’s opinions on these schools.

How helpful is Formula Student in reaching a race engineering career

Hello,
I'm deciding between my offer in the US and offers in the UK
I've received significant scholarship to University at Buffalo (US) for engineering physics, and the only thing stopping me from committing there is the entire Formula Student set up in the UK. I've got offers from University of Sheffield (mechanical eng), Loughborough University(eng phy), University of Southampton (mech eng), and am waiting on a decision from UCL (mech eng).

The scholarship amounts in UK are relatively much smaller, and I've actually only received an award from Loughborough currently, not gotten scholarship decisions from the rest yet. However, I have to make a deposit at University at Buffalo to confirm my place in the next two weeks.

Is it worth missing out on this opportunity at a cheaper degree in the US? I've been looking through the university websites for the UK unis and they seem to have placements in Williams, McLaren, etc., and I'm looking to understand how realistic this is. Also, is getting into a formula student team a competitive process?
In this case, would going for the eng phy degree not allow me to pursue this career?

Committing to university before receiving all offers

Hello,
I've received an offer with significant scholarship amount for an engineering physics degree for fall 2026 from University at Buffalo. Apparently I have to make the deposit by May 1 if I want to keep my place, however I've also applied to universities in the UK and gotten into some pretty decent universities.
I have a little dilemma here. I've not received scholarship decisions from universities in the UK yet, and I'm also waiting to hear back from UCL. I have gotten offers for mechanical engineering from 3 unis there and engineering physics from 1.
One thing I was considering is that UK has a very easy Formula pipeline if I manage to get into Formula Student, since I do believe I want to get into race engineering in the future - this is a huge plus point for UK.
However Buffalo seems to be the most economical option currently due to the scholarship, so I guess it comes down to opportunities and quality of the course.

I'm worried if I don't commit to UB and don't receive scholarships in UK then I'll have passed up a huge opportunity, but if I commit to UB and end up with full ride (or close to full ride) from UCL then I'll have to lose my deposit to go to UCL instead. The deposit is pretty big.

For context, I'm from India finishing the IB programme, so I'm an overseas student. I don't know much about the US.
