It was the first week of term and my programming lecturer conducted a poll on windows vs mac users. The tables have turned quite dramatically for me after starting my course at Imperial. In short, this meme below captures essentially the mindset of most people in my school:
Apple Distinguished Schools are “centers of innovation, leadership, and educational excellence that use Apple products to inspire creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking”. Nevertheless, my school has been recognized as an Apple Distinguished School for two consecutive terms (6 years). Would anyone here at Imperial even believe that my school in 2015 had actually proposed a rule “ strongly encouraging” (practically imposing) the use of a Macbook as opposed to any other device? A lot of parents actually complained against this new policy and drafted petitions against this imposition and as a result, the school silently softened its stance. One of the most striking differences was the reputation of owning a Macbook.
Back home in my international school in Indonesia, things were really different from Imperial in many ways.
