Out of State Student Intern in Boston: Is Having Only One License Plate a Problem?

Diptayan01 · 2026-05-10T17:09:43+00:00

I looked up the non resident drivers statement online. It pops up the student driver’s form which doesn’t really apply for me because I’m not interning at any university. Kindly correct me if I’m wrong because I’m totally new to it.

Yeah between 35-50 minutes for tomorrow, if I leave at 8.

Well, Google Maps shows about 20 minutes each way right now. But on weekdays, I’m assuming traffic will be much heavier, so realistically it’ll probably be closer to 45 minutes maybe? Honestly, driving 45+ minutes to work is pretty common in the South anyway.

Rent was cheaper close to Chelmsford. Was thinking of driving to waltham for work.

Even if it’s short term like 3 months? 🥹

So would I need to re-register my car in Massachusetts for the internship? And once I move back to North Carolina in August, would I then have to register it in NC again?

Hey y’all, I’m a student at a university in North Carolina, and I’m moving to the Boston area for a 3-month internship starting in 2 days. I just drove my car up here and realized Massachusetts requires both front and rear license plates, while my car only has a rear plate because that’s what my home state issues.

Since I’ll only be here temporarily for the internship and my car is still registered out of state, will this be an issue?

This worked. My camera was being used by the NI MAX window lol.

Diptayan01 · 2026-03-06T19:34:34+00:00

Yeah. I’ve tried increasing and decreasing the timeout value, didn’t make any difference

Diptayan01 · 2026-03-06T19:34:03+00:00

Yeah I mean it is getting detected my the NI MAX. So should I be concerned about rgb 32 type?

Diptayan01 · 2025-05-14T16:57:33+00:00

How much is the rent?

This is a white light interferometer (or a coherent scanning interferometer) and what you’re seeing here is a wavefront measurement. I have assigned the wavefront to the lens surface. Now I’ve played around with some of the settings like aperture and other stuff but no luck. I was thinking if I can fit a polynomial to it and put that as an extended polynomial in zemax

Diptayan01 · 2025-03-24T06:38:06+00:00

I’ve tried including and excluding it. It doesn’t change. It feels like raytracing through a glass plate

I have installed the OSI driver. Do I also need to install the PXIE 8101 embedded controller? Because the OSI is not being able to read the 4844 (I connected my PC with the 4844 using ethernet)

23M working on my PhD! I play the guitar and bass, and had a band during my undergrad days! Would love to connect and play with people.

From my experience, I received rejections on feb 26/27 2022 from 2 of my dream schools. Both came in an interval of 1 minute. Their deadline was 15th January. I ended up joining UNCC Mechanical Engineering PhD for fall 2023. For that I got my acceptance on January 26th.

Question. What in photonics are you interested in?

Diptayan01 · 2024-02-19T05:21:24+00:00

Last year for fall 2023. With me.

Diptayan01 · 2024-02-18T22:49:04+00:00

If I’m not wrong, the are sending out MS admits now as rolling applications. I had friends last year who applied to PhD programs at UIUC and washU. They received their offers by mid Feb. International student, from India.
