After reading an article that was shown on Tech's homepage, I couldn't help but cringe at its exaggerated praise of Tech's environment. Do you think that Tech is really as creative as this "artsy-fartsy mom" thinks it is?

Here's a link to the article:

If you are in a major, feel free to tell us how creative you think your major is. As for me, I think that media is very creative. It's probably the most creative major in Tech. :)

When you leave Tech, you will realize that the people around you are a lot less creative and imaginative than the people you were with while you were there. It might seem subtle or non-existent now, but eventually you will see it.
But today you just read that the man was shot dead

"Brooklyn Tech is a top STEM high school that teaches students college-level courses, has churned out Nobel laureates, astronauts, and titans of industry, and is harder to get into (gulp) than Harvard."

Say what.

I will keep that in mind... But I'm not sure if that would apply if I go to an art school. xD

This is what makes this article lose a lot of credibility...
Though I have to admit that I could understand why she would write that, (Harvard's 6600+ students > Brooklyn Tech's 5000-6000 students). But she failed to take into account that Harvard accepts students from AROUND THE WORLD while Tech only accepts students from New York City.

I would like to think that my cheap fixes when coding are "creative".
