brownfield site

Read a random definition: waterscape

A quick definition of brownfield site:

A brownfield site is a place where a factory or business used to be, but now it's empty and not being used. It's hard to make something new there because the ground might be dirty or polluted. This is different from a greenfield site, which is a place where nothing has been built before.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A brownfield site is a piece of land that was previously used for industrial or commercial purposes but is now abandoned, idle, or underused due to environmental contamination. These sites are difficult to redevelop or expand because of the presence of hazardous substances.

Example: An old factory that used to produce chemicals is now closed and the land is left unused. The soil and groundwater on the site are contaminated with toxic chemicals, making it difficult to redevelop the land for other purposes.

Explanation: The example illustrates how a brownfield site can be an abandoned industrial or commercial property that is contaminated with hazardous substances. The presence of these substances makes it difficult to redevelop the land for other purposes, such as residential or recreational use. Brownfield sites can pose a risk to human health and the environment if not properly cleaned up and remediated.

vibes, col, and name-knowledge wise villanova seems better, but cardozo seems better for ip/entertainment offerings + the infinitesmal chance of transferring + the alumni from my undergrad who went there really liked it

would you ever double deposit?
[] c0bra1
16:27
the only thing stopping me from double deposit is that it was strongly frowned upon or could have adverse consequences if the schools found out
[] c0bra1
16:27
if thats not a thing i would double for sure
starfishies
16:27
is that fr ive never heard that before thats kinda wild
starfishies
16:27
this cycle is crazy i feel like double deposit is warranted in a lot of cases
[] c0bra1
16:28
id be down to double to get more time to choose but i think for the factors that i listed it would be unlikely for those to change in a significant way
[] c0bra1
16:28
from what ive understood villanova's 3rd market is nyc but the philly ip market is a little small, most of the ppl i talked to had WE in tech first and thats how they got related roles in 1L/2L
[] c0bra1
16:29
they're just so similar on the balancing scale that im second guessing in case im overtly wrong on one of them...but then again all my friends say to quit whining and pick cardozo lol
starfishies
16:30
ngl still a tough decision
starfishies
16:30
but if youre trying to end up in nyc ultimately it seems like the more obvious answer
[] c0bra1
16:31
yeahh thats what it keeps boiling down to lol
[] c0bra1
16:31
i think it would be easier for me to pick nova if the col in nyc wasn't something i was ready for but that's not a problem for me
starfishies
16:31
okay money man
[] c0bra1
16:31
more like i anticipated a way better application and intended to get into fordham lol
starfishies
16:31

[] c0bra1
16:31
yeaaa
starfishies
16:31
i also have a weekly deposit meltdown its okay
[] c0bra1
16:31

[] c0bra1
16:32

starfishies
16:32
my family is sick of me
[] c0bra1
16:32

starfishies
16:33

17:05

[] c0bra1
17:27

To me it seems that if you don't have all your responses yet (which all schools know it has been a crazy cycle), then you shouldn't be penalized if you put down a deposit, get a response from another school, and choose to go that direction. If the school is stinky about it, it seems you would have some recourse through LSAC

swag yeah thats cool i think ill most likely just deposit at dozo to save myself the constant back-and-forth on the decision -- i dont think ive had a conversation yet where i end up choosing nova despite my best to advocate for it lol
[] c0bra1
17:55
like i said earlier i think if the col was an issue for me id probably pick nova but my heart has always been set on ny and i think id be fine over there
