<p>I tried making a new thread, but I couldn’t figure out how, haha.
I was recently accepted to New College of Florida and I’m really excited about the school, from the academics to the general air it gives; I’m going to try to go on a campus tour within the next two weeks. However, I still have a few questions in mind and I’m still considering attending State University of New York: College of Environmental Science and Forestry (SUNY ESF). </p>
<p>• Will the fact that the school is new or the no-grade system affect my career chances in the future? I’ve heard that the curriculum is based on graduate admission, but what if you don’t attend a graduate school? Could the absence of a GPA hurt me in any way?
• Is New College a good school in terms of environmental studies? Tthis is my main argument for SUNY ESF, I think the overall education of New College will be more engaging but SUNY ESF has a lot of professionals in that specific field, a lot of internship opportunities, and a great commitment to the environment.
• What exactly is it that makes NCF so academically prestigious? (apart from the small student to teacher ratio and Fullbright scholar rankings) Most specifically, what are the classroom discussions and overall academic environment like? Are the teachers inspiring and are they all dedicated in their personalized reports?</p>
