Does Sva The College Have Japanese Language Courses

What are the best classes to take as an undergraduate at Princeton University?

REL 261: Christian Ethics and Modern Society with Eric Gregory. Gregory is one of the most fair-minded professors I've ever met, which is pretty important for a Christian ethics class. While he is a Christian, he doesn't require or even expect you to be as well. So, if you're a Christian, you get really unique perspectives on modern ethical issues that you would have never ordinarily have thought of, while if you're a non-Christian, you start to understand why Christians act like they do. It's a class that will actually change your life.HIS 383: The United States, 1920-1974 with Kevin Kruse. Kruse is one of the best lecturers I've ever had. He begins and ends each lecture with a song from the era, "setting the mood". He intersperses videos as well. And he's just a generally charismatic lecturer. Definitely get him for precept as well, if possible. Additionally, the course itself is great; it's not a period of history that you hear much more about than "the Great Depression happened and FDR saved people and then World War II and then Vietnam, plus MLK somewhere." There's so much more to all of it. I took this class to fill a history requirement, and almost became a history major.COS 126: General Computer Science. Such a fantastic course. It's NOT just programming; most of the second half is more focused on theory. A lot of kids drop it. But if you like it, you'll love it.FRS 169: The Rest of the Story: The Six O'Clock News, Intelligence, National Security, and You with Diane Snyder. It's not offered this year, but if possible, take it. The professor is an ex-CIA agent; sometimes she goes on tangents, but the tangents are usually more interesting than the course material (though the course material is fascinating as well). Add in two amazing guest lecturers, and this class is the best class that I've ever taken.

Which university has the best creative writing postgraduate program - Columbia University, University of Cambridge or University of Oxford?

Columbia. The creative writing masters degrees at Oxford and Cambridge are part time continuing education courses, rather than traditional degrees. It's also worth noting that because they are only available as part time degrees, overseas students won't be eligible for the Oxford or Cambridge degrees because they won't be able to be sponsored for Tier 4 visas. So depending on your eligibility to live in the United Kingdom without a student visa, the question may be moot.

Why are kimonos so expensive in Japan?

The same reason any well-made item that is meant to last for years is expensive. I own kimono that are over 125 years old and are still in excellent condition; the quality in craftsmanship demands such prices.There's also an element of conspicuous consumerism when it comes to wearing kimono--a brand new ensemble can cost tens of thousands of dollars, after you total up the kimono, the obi, a couple of juban, the obiage and obijime, the zouri, the matching handbag, the professional fitting for the kimono, lessons for how to wear it/an appointment with a professional dresser, depending on the circumstance, etc. Kimono are the Lamborghini of clothing--they're expensive and you probably wouldn't want to go to pick up your kids at daycare in one, but you look like a million bucks in one! There are also famous kimono artists, whose work will make a price skyrocket, just like any piece from a house of haute couture, as well as materials like Yuuki tsumugi (the process of making this fabric is an Intangible Cultural Treasure) which regularly command prices in the thousands of dollars for what are necessarily informal kimono.Moreover, a kimono is an investment in tradition. The price represents how important that is. Kimono can be had very cheaply--my cheapest buy was $1.25 USD--but such a low price carries with it an implication of unimportance. A person who buys their culturally significant clothing from the bargain bin must not find it to be terribly important or valuable, so the thinking goes, almost like buying a wedding dress from the thrift shop.
