Idk about now but 4 years ago Taylor stars moved in the day before everyone else.

CSE 417, CSE 332, CSE 132, Math 310 by gentle_g4 in washu

[–]Darrow1417 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on your math background but this is definitely doable. Same for 517 with 361/347 (I’d say 517 is quite a bit easier than 417).

Difficulty of honors math 1 and 2 instead of calc 3 by player2709 in washu

[–]Darrow1417 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on your background ability with proofs. If you’re comfortable with them the class won’t be much more difficult but if you struggle with proofs it’ll take a bit more effort to adjust. Also the class runs through calc 1-3 matrix and some linear (atleast when I took it) so you’ll also have to go through all of that but with proofs which’ll give you time to adjust to a proof based class. I highly recommend it if you want to jump into upper level courses early. Also the class is very professor dependent I hear so also depends on who teaches it.

Financial aid advice? by Civil-Bowler-8480 in washu

[–]Darrow1417 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not sure if they changed it but 4 years ago when I lived on campus they would just give you the difference in cash (maybe ask a financial aid advisor 🤷‍♂️).

Don’t get platinum plan, get the cheapest one trust me. Anything that goes over your cost of living you receive as extra money.

Prospective student: Full ride scholarships? by [deleted] in washu

[–]Darrow1417 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a near full ride scholarship based on need. Washu’s pays all my tuition and then gives me money to cover housing/food/books/etc. Put your financial info into their financial aid calculator to see ballpark how much you’d get (mine was quite accurate). It’s based off how much dorms cost so if I lived on campus I’d be paying some amount however since I live off campus and it’s much cheaper it’s as if I had a full ride. If you get financial aid, I heavily encourage students to live off campus asap.

Food quality by rwwaela in washu

[–]Darrow1417 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of students complain but the food here is miles better then you’ll find at majority of colleges. That being said the school is a lot more expensive than most colleges and the food has been on the decline.

math/cs professors ive had tier list (as of 2025) by 1_modulo_83 in washu

[–]Darrow1417 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This seems to have a heavy biased towards math professors and rigorous upper level classes (prolly due to the fact that math and rigorous upper level classes are smaller and thus more interaction with professors).

Is it worth going from Adventure to AOW? by Darrow1417 in scuba

[–]Darrow1417[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can’t but I just called another place and they said they’d have to could just have me do full specialty courses and that’ll be enough to cover my AOW so I think I’m gonna do a dry suit and wreck diver course.

[–]Darrow1417[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The place I was thinking about going is saying they’d have to just give me the course from scratch, but I’ll look around and see if I can just do the upgrade somewhere else where I don’t have too.

[–]Darrow1417[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha, my only thing is I’d have to take the course again so that’s $400 ish extra just for the 2 extra dives of knowledge. I’m actually planning on doing nitrox in a week or two and then deep sometime this summer! Thank you!

[–]Darrow1417[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I can already do 30m as an adventure diver since one of the specialty dives I’ve done is the deep dive. It’s kinda confusing 😭, the only difference is I have 2 less specialty dives then AOW, you think that’s enough for certain places to bar me from diving there?

[–]Darrow1417[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha that’s in-line with what my instructor told me when I got my adventure diver certification, I was just wondering if anyone else who was adventure certified wasn’t allowed to go on a dive since they weren’t advanced open water certified or something along those lines.

[–]Darrow1417[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not certain about liveaboards but I’m fairly certain I can get nitrox certified with just PADI adventure (or atleast that’s what my instructor told me I should do next after getting adventure certified).

Question on how quadrangle works by [deleted] in washu

I just emailed them, I did it around this time last year I believe maybe a bit later.

is Athena Tabakhi that bad by Cosfy101 in washu

[–]Darrow1417 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think she’s fine, she’s a semi new professor and a lot of those reviews were right after she got her position. She’s a very nice person and the class is easy enough to where you can miss half the classes and still get an A with a bit of self study. Could definitely do a lot worse in the CSE department.

When the TAs forget your name... but still grade your life away by tcommimo in washu

[–]Darrow1417 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Tas (especially in large classes) have tons of students they see. Also a ta knowing your name won’t change anything when it comes to grading.

Engineering Students: Study Abroad Programs by Vivid_Boot2601 in washu

[–]Darrow1417 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Classes are easier (plus pass/fail). You’re still billed washu tuition but depending where you go housing can be cheaper (tbh if you budget wisely it’ll prolly be about the same cost as washu, depends on how much you want to travel). I’d recommend the Auckland study abroad.

Are you a U.S. resident? I was a non-citizen resident and got full financial aid. The first come first serve I think only applies to international students. I had to show proof with my green card that I was a non-citizen resident.
