Anonymous asked: So I'm attempting to select the classes I would like to take next year, but some of them require prerequisites. I'll use "Women in Science: Ancient Greece to Enlightenment" which requires a class in Social Sciences or Natural Sciences, as an example.

winstonbraun asked: HI, I'm interested in transferring to study illustration and printmaking. I have taken a look at the courses offered and there doesn't seem to be much in the way of what I'm interested in, but its tough to tell from an outside perspective. Any information you could give me? Or possible link to some current student work?

Anonymous asked: How long does it take for international students to receive their I-20s. This waiting is killing me :(
Anonymous asked: I was wandering, as an International student I think I can't work in the US for the first 9 months of my stay. What does that mean for my FWT? I've read that quite a lot of international students go back home for that period of time but "back home" is quite far for me... Any similar experiences in the past?

Gustave Le Bon, a man of the crowd
I love looking up pictures of the authors I’m reading. This is one of my favorites. In 1895 Gustave Le Bon wrote the founding document of crowd psychology, a slim book called La Psychologie Des Foules or The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind. He’s one of those people who’s had an influence on the way everyone thinks, even if very few people have heard of him.
He wrote about...

Anonymous asked: Students of color! From what I see in pictures, there's always white students interacting with other white students. Socially, do you non-white students feel left out or excluded? Or do you think your skin color has nothing to with anything and no one could even care less?
