An excellent description of the life problems of an enthusiastic student, but it seems to me that there is a factor of heavy academic workloads, so depression and frustration could develop. Probably sometimes in such situations it is worth entrusting serious educational tasks to experienced specialists and just pay them and do the order coursework now. For me personally, this solution has always been extremely useful during my studies at the university. |

The academics at Lang are great for those who want to study the humanities, social sciences, art, theatre and writing. It has a great pluralist academic focus and courses from a wide variety of the humanities and arts are available. It is a very intensive school in terms of reading, writing and art, with a ton of opportunities for volunteering, social and political action, internships and career opportunities, just for being in nyc it itself. However, the social life is extremely lacking and everyone seems miserable all the time. I would not recommend going to this school if you are a happy, well-adjusted person. During my year and a half at lang I drowned myself in my studies, writing, and work and have never written such brilliant things in my life or learned so much and have met some amazingly successful, famous people through work and internships, but have also fell into a deep depression, developed an anxiety disorder, and have been on the borderline of suicidal for most of it. The only way to socialize at lang is really the bar/club scene, in which lots of narcotics and drugs are present. It's a very easy trap to fall into, and very unhealthy atmosphere. The city of new york combined with the "black hole" like gloom of the new school is a lethal one. I plan to transfer out of here as fast as I can. I want to go to a school with a better sense of community and quality people who aren't a bunch of depressed hipsters. Don't just take my advice though, read up on the school and its academics for yourself. If you are someone who is looking for a very VERY progressive, open-minded school (ahem, closeted gays/trans) this school is for you, you will find a lot of acceptance and support here for your sexuality/gender preferences. If not, its not worth it.
