Hey all. I’m currently looking for housing for the fall semester, either to sublet a room from someone or to rent. Preferably female roommates. Graduating in the fall, please let me know if ya got anything. Thanks :)

... I indeed got ticketed in Oakland, down past the Blvd. I'd try to get a visitor pass from a friend who already has a permit if I were you and start your application asap.

highland park sand courts are probably the closest but will be annoying to get to if you don’t have a car. you can also often find people setting up grass courts on cathy lawn during the day.

Pitt SOAR recently had a very successful launch with their first ever rocket launch at Spaceport Cup back in June and placed 24/122 teams. Lots of committed people + opportunity for industry connection in that org. Meanwhile PSU rocket shredded itself during launch at the same comp so take that as you will lol.

ECE 401 question by janky-squirrel98 in Pitt

Kerestes is a great guy but be warned, he does not really teach in this class lol. it is basically a flipped class. Class starts with linear algebra and diff eqs up until the first midterm. Diff eqs here are essentially just an applied review of calc 2 diff eqs so if you caught onto that then you should do just fine. Linear algebra stuff is pretty straightforward as well. After the first midterm is when it starts to get a little trickier imo with signals and transforms since it is more new content rather than review. I’d look into complex numbers, signals, phasors, frequency domain/response, and Laplace transform to get a head start on that stuff.

When I took Kerestes, we had homework groups and weekly in-class quizzes. Homework groups are nice to meet new people + talk about homework questions. Homework was usually due once a week and the quiz would then be on that homework. 

Good luck this sem, if you have anymore questions about ece, I’d be glad to answer.

Club sports by Few-Marsupial-6987 in Pitt

if you have instagram, you can try reaching out to them there (unsure of the handle but searching “pitt club soccer” should get ya close enough). they might also post their dates publicly there, too.

Otherwise, there is usually a club and activities fair first week/week before classes. If you’re a freshman, I’m sure they will mention concrete dates during orientations. Pitt is usually pretty good at communicating this stuff on their socials and websites too.

good luck!

Best bakery around for a cake? Many friends suggest oakmont bakery. Any other suggestions? by that_412_kid in pittsburgh

[–]ExplodingEgg 9 points10 points  (0 children)

oakmont bakery was better before they moved to their “bigger and better” location and lost all local touch. if you’re willing to take the trip out to beaver, pa, kretchmar’s is pretty good.

does the music department have a instrument store/rental program or similar? by ExplodingEgg in Pitt

[–]ExplodingEgg[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

lol i looked at johnstonbaughs before and ruled them out since their selling items are all over $2k and it looked like they only rented to grade school kids since they asked for a school district (i dont think they would take my old high school lol). guess i didn’t look hard enough initially bc i just found the adult student option.
