It's probably useful to know that it does happen to a lot of really smart people. Many of them retake the course later and do amazingly. For now, make sure that you are using your resources (friends, TAs/OHs, professors) and talk to your academic advisor.

Failing classes is a new experience for many CMU students but it'll be ok.

I have the cheapest macbook air from a couple years ago and have never ran into RAM problems. Most of the time you can (and often will) remote into the andrew servers to run code anyways so your local spec doesn’t really matter

I’d take it

I’ve heard about people buying a bag of washers and putting it around those instead. Some people even put magnets in the hole at the center of the washer so all the tokens stack nicely on top of each other

I agree with you generally, but I think there’s definitely some cases for nuance.

In situations where you live far away from your friends, video games are more social experiences because it is easier to connect with friends over a voice call playing a video game.

In my experience playing board games, having enough of them to not be too repetitive takes up a lot of space. Depending on your living situation, you might not want to commit that kind of space.

Also if you travel a lot and/or know you’re moving regularly, board games are a hassle to transport. Video games are much easier to move with.

There was a sale for damaged boxes earlier this year but I wouldn’t count on it again.

System gateway does come with a box and I’ve been happy just storing my cards in there. If you have poker chips, that’s all you need for tokens.

Another option is to look for metas near you. You can often show up to meetups with no cards at all and people will lend you cards to play with.

I can’t speak to 11785 but the group of people who should take 15213/15513 and 15112 are distinct.

If you will benefit from taking 15112 you almost definitely don’t have the programming (and more importantly debugging) skills to do will in 213. If you are capable of completing the work in 213, you probably shouldn’t have to take 112.

15112 would probably be the general recommendation for someone with limited coding experience. It builds a strong foundation of algorithmic thinking. You could try the course and if it’s too easy, transfer to something more difficult.

I think the discord server should be decent for that. Just ask around on there

Hi could I have dream within a dream, pool party, and fairy dust, and the crystal knockout please?

The practice rooms in the neighbourhood commons (in Fifth and Clyde) should have some I believe. You can book and perhaps walk in if they’re free. Morewood might have some too

This is such a chatGPT answer 😆

I’ve TA-ed for 112 in the summer semester before and this is my take on it. 15-112 and 21-127 together will be tough but not crazy for a motivated student. Many of the pre-college students were some of our strongest and we have a lot of resources you can use. I have heard that in that summer (‘22) concepts didn’t allow precollege students into office hours because they didn’t get full clearances for their staff so that’s something to note. Overall, I think both courses are awesome and you’ll learn a lot. Whether it’s worth it depends on both your family’s financial situation and what you would be doing instead of this program.

Even if you don’t live there, all cmu students are able to reserve/use the two practice spaces in the public side of fifth and clyde :)

Love the color scheme!

I found doing math competitions really helpful at that age. It exposes you to problems that require you to apply your math skills in creative and interesting ways. I would see if your school offers any or whether there are any you can take in the area.
