My local SDA college has a very nice looking Visual Arts Department with decent animation equipment. I’m talking wacom cintiqs at each desk and rtx 2070 pc’s and even has a film set for future filmmakers but i haven’t heard from alot of graduates from their animation program. They say its a good program but I’ve only met one graduate from the program so if anyone in the SAU animation program could share there experience. I can’t tell if this is a good program either any tips on how to spot a good program?
Where did you stay? I hear the Hostel is not so bueno. Anyone have experience with it? Also, what kinds of things should I expect in the class? Was there anything... unexpected? I want to be as prepared as possible. Did they truly help you find a place abroad? Thanks in advanced!
Curious if there’s anyone here from the Collegedale area or have previously been there and wouldn’t mind sharing some stories.
Why do a lot of SDA’s think it’s not acceptable to go out to eat on Sabbath, but will go to the University (Southern) cafeteria for lunch? The principle is the same. Someone is working and getting paid to cook your food, the caveat is that it’s all just taking place under the roof of an SDA organization vs out in public somewhere. What’s the difference? I’ve been there on Sabbath afternoons and have seen families eating, who aren’t going to school there, but they must just feel like it’s a safe place to go since it’s an SDA environment.
I had a friend during my time at SAU, who would prepare her own food in her dorm on Sabbath, or go to the cafeteria and get something to-go. I suggested one day that we go out for lunch somewhere and she refused and said she didn’t feel right about that, so I asked her what the difference was about going to the cafeteria vs somewhere outside of campus and she couldn’t really answer it besides ‘I just don’t want to do that’. I respected her choice but it had me puzzled…
So I know this is an ex Adventist Reddit buuttt I wanted to take a leap of faith and see if there are any at my school or former Oakwoodites that I can meet !!
Has it something to do with "saving even those that don't deserve to be saved" (in the same way like other religious fundamentalists cry oppression whenever they try to outlaw "sinful behaviour" like biblically uncondoned forms of sexual activity between two consenting adults, abortions and dancing bans for everyone else)?
PS: The probably most influential and dangerous member next to Ellen G. White herself, John Harvey Kellogg, apparently also co-founded the white supremacist eugenicist "Race Betterment Foundation" and massively promoted genital mutilation of boys and girls as a "punishment" to prevent masturbation.
"Cereals" are an invention of him believed to dampen the desire for masturbation too, marketed by his brother Will Keith.

Correction: I can't change the title anymore, but it's Loma Linda, not Linda Loma.
I grew up in the church, but now I consider myself atheist. I have gotten a full ride to Southern Adventist University, and am seriously considering going there for financial stability (also some pressure from family). However, I am feeling very anxious going into such a religious setting, and want to know if anyone here knows if it is worth it.
Will I be singled out for being atheist/discriminated against? I know they live a very strict lifestyle which is fine with me, but I just don’t want to be coerced or pressured into their beliefs. I want to know about the student’s there aswell, and if anyone has insight it would be v much appreciated.
Are they tolerant people, and will I be able to make friends as a Bi-sexual and left leaning person?
Adventist schools were the only ones I could afford except state school, so I’ve decided to try Southern out. If I hate it, I’ll just come back and go to state school but I wanted to explore a new location, get away from my family a bit. I’m dreading it but also excited because the location is great and I have a lot of friends going. I’m queer+ agnostic+ liberal. I’m not interested in partying type stuff but I am concerned about the anti-atheist and anti-LGBT sentiment of administration/ teachers/ students, etc. Just wondering if anyone has any advice/ would want to share their experiences, especially if you attended one recently and/or attended southern. Eg: should I try and engage in actual discussion in class about evolution, LGBT issues, etc, or will that cause more problems for me than it will be productive? How strict are the worship requirements, will they really put me on probation if I’m a few short? How do they treat LGBT couples?
Edit: I am going. Not looking for “don’t go”.

I am Amish Mustafa Khan, a researcher at Washington University in St. Louis (WashU) in the lab of Jay F. Piccirillo, M.D.
I have conducted extensive research on COVID-19 olfactory dysfunction and recently published a paper estimating that 0.7 million and as many as 1.6 million Americans may have chronic olfactory dysfunction as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The research paper was cited by over 55 news outlets and was disseminated amongst 1.7 million users on Twitter within the first 48 hours of publication. Given the immense interest on the topic, I have decided to do an AMA to answer your questions on this overlooked public health concern.

Tried to do a post game thread but can’t find a box score. Delaware State is not very good

I love the Light Rail but this is ridiculous. These stops are misleading, and I’ve heard at least one LR operator get in the intercom to clarify that University Street is not UW. This would be confusing as hell for a visitor.
I have been in the middle of a search for where I want to attend college. I’ve been looking at several options for what has the major I’m pursuing and one that has the right size, the right atmosphere, and as I said the right major, It’s not too far away compared to other options. My only concern is that it is an Adventist university, and my mom and her family are devout Baptist. Where as I’m kind of indifferent to those kind of indifferent when it comes to different denominations no matter how different. I’m just worried about what her reaction would be if I suggested this to her, and what the reaction of my extended family.
I’m considering attending an Adventist university for college, my mother is Baptist and I’m non-denominational, I was wondering if anyone who knows a thing or two could give any advice on if I should apply, and if I do and get accepted should I attend?
Has anybody attended or knows someone has attended Southern Adventist University School of Visual Art? Specifically animation. I’m considering applying? What are your thoughts?
I'm curious to see which Adventist schools are represented on this sub. I went to SAU myself. Where did you guys go?
