Myself included. And it's certainly not easy, with all of the political crap grads have to deal with. In some ways this post was a reminder to myself too. Good luck with your studies! Margi Hi Ania,

I see them going backwards, with wrong ideas, no planning, and ignoring much of the potential - which makes me forget that there are actually at least these 8 reasons that you mentioned! I need to change something! :) Thanks for this post, as I am now quite disappointed with my school, which is my second faculty.

In terms of the tight-knit community, every program is different. Very different. And it's best to talk to a current grad before entering into a program. Ask them what sort of social gatherings they have with other grads. Even between the writing and viscom programs, the culture is very different here. Anyway, I think it's a great idea to work first and then figure out if you want to go back to school. Love your grid project! Margi Hi Alisa!
