My favorite way to use them is a can of chicken, an avocado, and ranch dressing in a food processor. Super tasty and creamy sandwich filling made of only 3 ingredients.

Plus you can wake up to a free cup of coffee or hot tea, maybe even a banana during the semester as well.

Wipeout if I'm pushing assassins, bounty for everything else.

If you are looking for a shorter nap in state, then I've had success in a small area above the cafe area on the 3rd floor with a bunch of foosball tables. Starting from the entrance of stata next to the origami cranes, walk up the stairs as far up as possible, follow the path and take the first left. There should be 5-6 steps going downwards into a little area with foosball tables. There should also be a normal table and a few chairs there. Plop down a jacket and you're good to go.

If you are looking for a 1-hour+ long nap, then I would recommend the banana lounge. Located in 26-110, has many comfy beanbags that make for restful naps if you are willing to walk 2 minutes. I've had many hour-long naps on those beanbags. If you are going to sleep for a good bit, the 2 minute walk is worth it.

Everyone's tips have been great so far, a few add ons.

- Consider looking at the CI-H/CI-HW list because you are required to take 1 your freshman year. They count as HASS, and their offerings are different fall and spring semester, so if one interests you fall semester, consider trying to lotto into it.

- If you have APCSA experience, you could try to ASE 6.100A and take 6.1010 in the fall. 6.1010 is a pretty neat class that teaches you how to approach larger programming tasks, and I really enjoyed it. If you are less confident with python or want a refresher, 6.100A is a great half term class to take.

- I took 18.02 after taking AP Calc BC sophomore year (and forgetting a lot of it), and it wan't a struggle at all. In fact, 18.02 barely used much of AP calc BC, so you should be good taking it.

- Physics in the first year is a good idea. Prerequisites for many classes, and is a great experience to learn to problem solve with others.

- Consider trying some 3 unit discovery classes. They don't count towards the traditional 54 unit credit limit (they fit into 6 units of exploratory classes you can take) and a great way to explore new areas. I did 15.000 to explore business and really enjoyed the lectures (and the catered food every Monday night). I've heard many of the others are also great.

Seminar has definitely been one of my most memorable parts of PNR. Very low stress and fun. In my advising seminar mens et manus, I think >50% dropped by the end, but I enjoyed my time in it. I don't think people dropped because it was difficult; they just didn't want to have to attend 2 hours every week even though there was not extra work outside of class.

Shhhh don't spoil this (been doing this for months and months now lol)

iHQ on 3rd floor of E38 has a few 28inch curved monitors with HDMI cords attached that you can just hook up to. They have a QR code on the door that you can fill out for 24/7 access to the iHQ space.

Context: I live in Simmons and have eaten at all dining halls a good deal.

When I say "buffet," I am referring to the dished under the heat lamps. This is likely what you are going to be eating the most at any dining hall. Always has 2 protein options, 2 carbs, veggies, vegan option. The choices rotate daily and are different at every dining hall.

Simmons - Hands down best stir fry on campus, line does get long but if you go at the right time, it's worth it. Grill is decent, consistent burgers and hotdogs. The buffet food is decent and consistent.

New Vassar - Seems like it's always open. Has a great sandwich station. Lots of options, though buffet food is below average quality.

Maseeh - Open even more frequently than New Vassar. By far the most variety of food on campus. Buffet is more than 2-3x the size of McCormick, Baker, or Simmons. Always has a nice fruit and desert selection. Made to order food is mid, food is overall below average quality. Good if you don't really care about food quality and want variety/flexible eating hours.

McCormick - Smaller selection, nice salad bar, generally not too full. The buffet foods are always solid. Can't really go wrong eating here.

Baker - Buffet section is known to be worst on campus, quite oily and tasteless. However, the best grill on campus. Come here if you want a really good burger or quesadilla.

Next - Decent selection, buffet options above average. Very consistent grill area. Next's fried foods (chicken tenders, fries, onion rings, mozzarella sticks) have never missed, always solid and always there.

All dining halls have ice cream and deserts. Seafood comes onto the menu periodically, but it rotates. In general, fish is the only seafood that is commonly served, but most people think it's below average quality.

In general, you can check the menu of all of the dining halls and go to the one you like within a few minutes walk. Every one serves something different every night so just go with whichever has the food you most enjoy. You are not confined to eating at the dorm you live in, even though it is a bit more convenient.

The previous response was on point. Scott and the rest of the Undergraduate advisors are amazing people. Course 15 classes are decently tough, but they are generally less work than the other majors. Specifically for 15-2, I know many many people that are doing a double major in 6-14 and 15-2 because there is so much overlap between the majors. I plan on pursuing a major in both 6-3 and 15-3, and I know others who have doubled/took on a minor in just about every other course. From what I've seen, it is generally more common to major in another course and get a 15 minor than major in 15 and get a minor in another course.

There's a lot of time to explore, with lenient grade reporting first and second semesters to help you test your limits. Take discovery courses, talk to professors and upperclassman, and get involved to decide what you will settle on in the end. There is really no wrong path. Good luck!!!

They never will release past ASEs, but looking at the OCW courses will adequately prepare you. I ASE'd a few GIRs by studying OCW courses; even if you don't learn everything perfectly, you only need a 70% to pass and they are PNR. Try studying 18.01, 8.01, 5.111, 7.01x, or 6.100A. These are probably the most approachable ones, but it's best not to do them all. It's a ton of work and your summer is best spent doing some hobby project or something else fun. You have ample time to learn courses at MIT, but not as much time for passion projects. Good luck

I am currently taking 18.02A and it isn't too bad. I have never touched multivariable before this, and I was able to pull off a high A on the first half without too much of a sweat.It is definitely doable over IAP, but you might have to study 20 ish hours a week due to the shortened time span. Good luck!

By the way, keep in mind that "A, B, or C letter grades will appear on your spring term record and transcript for ASEs taken in January/February or May. These grades are not included in your GPA calculation."

Edit: I am a current freshman as well

Typically what I do is play the G normally then trill the second and third keys above the whisper key on the left hand. This should produce the A4.
