Philly is such a shit city. Why anyone would chose it over NYC, Boston, or DC mystifies me.

Chicago may be the exception, but the neighborhoods are notoriously small and well-defined. I get corrected by people all the time ("I was up at a bar on Belmont in Lincoln Park" "BELMONT? That's Lakeview, bro. It's one block north of Lincoln Park.")
I'm probably getting exaggerated reports on its lack of safety from the gf's parents (who didn't think the gf was living in a safe area when she moved to South Slope, a ridic yuppie neighborhood), but there was a crime presentation they gave prospective students that I found strange. I agree it's a beautiful campus.
Lolwut? The area by Penn is one of the worst in the city. Easily the most crime. Straight ghetto, brasky.
Are you thinking of Manayunk?
Agreed. I love Philadelphia.
Their teams can suck a bag of dicks, of course.

Kinda wanna check out Brooklyn College.
What program would it be? MFA? For a while you were looking at Columbia College, I think.

I'm such an idiot for not starting Denver's defense.
Yup MFA. SAIC was a way more attractive choice than Columbia College. The big upside of Columbia College was that Dr McNally, my mentor at Wake, was former faculty there, and he hooked me up with an interview with the director of admissions and chair of the program. The two schools are pretty close to each other, but SAIC has this incredible open curriculum program where I could also do museum studies and a bunch of other stuff that really interests me.
Oh, also wakephan I lived in West Campus when i was in Austin. I was subletting a place from some undergrad.
