Lesson 1: The Art of Comparing Schools (My Sad Attempt at Putting an End to the Madness)
we can argue all we want but the real answer is not the opinions, but in the math!
(i am going to get so much heat for this... )
note:
- LA=SCIARC, NY=PRATT
-the "greater than" symbol ">", can also be in place for the phrase "better than.."

LA's subcultures and NY subcultures ... you can't compare.. two different animals...
Just like the schools fools!! :)
Conclusion to students: Sometimes writing a math-poem. Yes..exactly.. a MATH-POEM, will help you calculate how much "better-thans" one school has than the other. In the end it doesn't really matter cause we're all struggling right now, so flip that coin and just pick a school! :)
sorry, i had a "sliced bread" kind of moment tonight while pullin' an allnighter.
FInally, someone using research and analysis to come to a framework for making a decision, not just asking random strangers on the internet!
This is without a doubt the BEST "what grad school should I go to?" thread ever!
(With respect of course to vado's thread, which was also genius.)
LA music > NY Reggaeton
reggaeton is not music - it's a pavlovian signal for people to start grinding on each other.
This math poem completely ignores ≈, ≠, ≡, ≤, ≥, ∩ and ∫.
Sometimes I wished Archinect had a special kind of captcha for posts that asked a few questions to verify that you wanted to post a thread.
Something like:
1. Do you know what FASFA stands for?
2. Have you used the search tool? Are you sure you checked it twice?
3. Are you the Unicorn? (Please skip to question 5.)
4. Does this post have anything to do with Zaha Hadid? If not, please state in the space below why you are stabbing us in the heart.
5. Are you drunk and is this really a good idea?
J. James R. : if we gave these kids all those symbols, we would be exactly where we were before the math poem.
This is more of a comparison of two cities rather than of two schools. But if this list puts an end to the madness, where will I go to watch trolls go at each other?
^ That hobbit movie is coming out soon.
WE BE TROLLIN'
