Vermillion

Sure, It's always good to be here to give league advice to people. vermillionZetta

. Oh GOD YES SHERIDAN, that place, although hosting one of the hardest, most smothering courses ever, gives you one of the strongest diplomas in the digital arts world.... Thanks for the list! Also, to respond to the very useful and friendly responses on Muse Gate: I (by no means trying to be arrogant) am pretty confident about my academic skills, dedication, and am also lucky enough to be able to deal with the expenses around that range. Also, I realize that the whole process is easier said than done, but with enough dedication and tenacity, I believe I can make it. Still, help is always welcome, though it's more about the overall process of studying abroad than anything on a personal level. Once again, I have no intention of being arrogant, I always feel like I need to clarify this to clear out any misunderstandings. Though, It's not out of ones place to question why I'd want to leave the " tropical wonderland, land of carnaval, samba, happiness, fun and freedom". First of all, I'll confirm that this is a great place to visit, with a lot of interesting landscapes and touristic attractions(Although I recommend against giving our government any more money), but fact is, living here SUCKS. It's FAR from ever being called safe, the taxes we're charged are absurdly abusive for a country that gives nothing back to its people other than the popular brazilian circus, or football (The worst part about this is that people are ok with being economically abused as long as they can watch their team play, and some even decide to go on kill or be killed crusades in the name of a bloody football team... But I digress.). Second of all, I've studied english on my own since I was 5, and to such extent that I find it easier and more comfortable for me to speak/write/think in english than in portuguese, and when I really think about it and several other factors combined, I don't see any reason to think this would be where I belong. Ranging from a racist, homophobic and sexist pastor being the PRESIDENT OF THE ETHICS COUNCIL, which somehow passes the "GAY CURE" project, to hearing a "national idol" like Ronaldo say, when the people ask for better quality of life on the streets, holding up signs for their ideals and demands, for better work conditions for our teachers, that are paid hardly enough to sustain themselves, more hospitals and better work conditions for our doctors, that " You don't make a World Cup with hospitals or investing on them. You make them with stadiums and thats where the cash should really be flowing." Gods, I'm really going out on a tangent here... It's kinda hard for me to talk about the place even on a minor level and not rant about it, sorry. Anyway, this tablet isn't the best for typing and I'm currently a little drowsy because my sleep schedule is pretty messed up, so I apologize for any typos or grammar failures.

Haha, well, that wouldn't be any sort of shock to me, I've gone there on a 2 month exchange and didn't feel that much of a difference other than the fact things are way cheaper and the cities seem to be very flat, with little to no ups or downs, which makes it easier to navigate. I've lived nearly all of my years in Brazil's urban center, the Global City of São Paulo, so big cities and high costs are things I'm pretty used to.Oh, and btw, your forum avatar is overloading with cuteness!

Sure! Every kind of help would be great! Graphic Design and Animation, yes. Oh, yeah, I've heard about that. I'm lucky enough to have the resources to defray the costs. OH, and also, It's not just Cali I have my eyes on, ANY opportunity I can get would be great.

Hey, Reborn! Vermillion here. As my info states, I live in Brazil. But I don't want to! This place really blows! So, the topic's name speaks for itself. I want to study on the U.S, so that I might get a good curriculum, good experiences, easier access to things, and also enjoy better overall quality of life... But I need your help... Because I don't know what to do! I mean, most of it. I know some places that offer me what I want , but not the way I can get to those places, that's the problem. I'm another creative person, market on the rise, so what I'm looking for are the great Digital Art courses, and I've seen that I can get that at the following institutions. UC San Diego Caltech University of Southern California Drexel MIT NYU Gnomon But I don't know everything, so ANY INFORMATION would be greatly appreciated! I'm confident enough in my abilities to try for a good SAT score, and I've studied English for a really long time, getting a diploma that proves my fluency, but what else would make me a better pick? What could I check, Who could I ask? How hard is it to grab a half-decent job up there? What about places to stay? I just want to go away from this place, and actually have a chance to have a good career doing what I want to do, and otherwise won't be able to do by staying around this unsafe hole filled with people that have no standards. Here, you're either a Lawyer, a Doctor, an Engineer, or poor. So I'm gonna go out on a whim and trust the "Land of opportunity" slogan. I have the resources, I have the dedication... I just need some help, and I trust you guys can provide me with said help. Thanks in advance! Vermillion ~

I'll be checking this thread often, too. I'm sure I can help out in most situations.

"What's the point in listing a preferred role for a duo queue?" Ideal Matchups. Even if you don't get your ideal position, You can have a similar synergy. Two AD carry players, for instance, might not synergize as much as an AD carry and a Jungler, that, depending on their champion pool, might be able to support. There's the obvious botlane duo, but there's also the mid+Jungle duo, Top+Mid... Although the community is absolutely dumb and will go "NO ME MID" and instalock, one can always hope that the pick order will be respected.
