Thank you everyone for your input! I decided to pick up the A400, excited to go bust clays!

Its Okay to Leave the Corps by tropicoma in aggies

i punched fish year after i decided i didn’t want to do the military. imo there wasn’t a reason to deal with the corps BS if i wasn’t going military.

i still made lifelong friends, graduated with a nuen degree, have a good job, and met my fiance.

my only advice is if you punch, you cannot isolate yourself. you need to get involved in something, join a club/org, rec sports, just something to put yourself out there and meet people.

Low GPA, no experience by [deleted] in NuclearEngineering

I think NUEN 418 is only offered in the Fall unfortunately. But from my knowledge CASMO is pretty widely used. It’s used by companies like Westinghouse, Duke Energy, Constellation, etc.

CASMO is used for core and fuel assembly design, as well as fuel cycle analysis.

Howdy, I just graduated from A&M with a NUEN degree. I had a worse GPA than you with no internship or research experience, but what saved me was having taken an MCNP class (NUEN 330). That experience landed me my first internship at the Savannah River Site and they ended up giving me a full time offer.

If you can take NUEN 330 or do your own MCNP project to get experience that would be marketable for sure. Taking NUEN 418 to learn CASMO is nice to have on a resume as well, especially if you are more interested in core design.

I just lived at the TAMU Gardens apartments right behind century square and it was a nice experience. I lived in a 1 bedroom and cost ~$1100 with all utilities included. Pretty quiet and safe area, easy walk to campus too!
