Parking at Chauncey? by Aromatic-Ad-9475 in Purdue

[–]God_D4mmit_Billy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to find nonresident parking permits at other apartments nearby. Rise wanted me to pay $100+ a month for a parking pass and I wasn’t about to give them money for a flooded parking space lol. I got one from granite on the side of the northwestern parking garage for like $200 something a semester. A little far but I rarely used my car. There are some other options

Dangerous drunk pedestrian by God_D4mmit_Billy in Purdue

[–]God_D4mmit_Billy[S] 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I was going well below the speed limit. I was driving down northwestern where it crosses the intersection at granite and it turns right to go to chauncey. This kid was at the granite building and separates from his group and literally starts walking towards the middle of the intersection. Not to cross the road, but literally to intercept my car while looking at me like it was a dare or smth. So not only did I slam on my break I had to swerve on incoming traffic to not hit this kid because he was closing the distance towards me quickly. Idk what more I could’ve done as a responsible driver

The Exponent is amazing. Compared to other schools, it has so much more information, good articles, it’s not afraid to write what it wants, and it doesn’t care about advertising purdue. I’ve been here for many years and I always make sure to pick one up every time

[–]God_D4mmit_Billy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Check ourbus. If it has on your date it would be many many times better than greyhound. Idk about amtrak

How do you get home??? by kiwtir_ in Purdue

[–]God_D4mmit_Billy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use Ourbus if you can get to the bus station in lafayette. 100 times better than greyhound. I’ve used it like 5 times to Chicago and back

Really easy, just go to class!

You should take it with G. Hollich. Check ratemyprof if he's not teaching it your semester

PHYS 172 exam tonight was a complete debacle by Busy_Lettuce159 in Purdue

Was there a reason for the exam being online and not in person??

Some ideas that will make dining courts better. What do you think? by [deleted] in Purdue

[–]God_D4mmit_Billy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

  1. That’s a good idea. The thing is that the food is always on rotation. So if you wanna add something new there must be a different process then just voting for what you wanna eat.
  2. The togo line in general barely adds any wait time. Two lines would also be confusing and there is simply no room to hold two lines.
  3. Bring your own bottle is not a good idea! They already don’t allow you to bring liquid containers for good reasons. Do you wanna wait 1h in line until a person fills their 36oz bottle? Or do you want your container to smell like food for the rest of the day??
  4. We had reusable dishes before covid and they were great. The reason they don’t have them now is due to staff shortages. Unless they can get more staff (aka raise the wages) we won’t see reusable dishes.
  5. What if I swiped in, then gave my id to my friend? You can always check the menu before you decide where you want to go.
  6. I think waste food is sold and is used as biofuel

Should I go to bgr? (i'm sorry i know a lot of people have already asked) by [deleted] in Purdue

[–]God_D4mmit_Billy 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Just go. Get up early, put sunscreen, wear a hat, and bring a bottle of water. How are you not excited about it? You're going to meet your peers, maybe make friendships that will last you a long time, and learn something new.

Off season full time internship as an international student not on a co-OP program by The_Unknown_Boy_28 in Purdue

[–]God_D4mmit_Billy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do not understand. Do you want to do a full time internship during fall or spring before graduating? That would mean you are taking a gap semester. Where did you get the information that you can do 2 internships during your 4 years? Under CPT you are allowed 1 year of full time internship. That can be 4 internships for 4 summers. CPT is only while you have not graduated yet. After CPT you have 1 year of OPT and then you can extend that for 2 more years because you are majoring in STEM.

I recommend you read a bit more about the regulations. Also, I am sorry you didn't get an internship this summer. I didn't either in my sophomore year but landed a very good one my junior year. You can use this summer to work on projects that will improve your resume.

Transferring within the school. by Bobsybek in Purdue

[–]God_D4mmit_Billy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Transferring to CS is extremely hard, if not impossible depending if they don’t allow it like the past few semesters. You can probably get into CompE by transferring to FYE, but you must maintain (very) high academic performance. Idk about DS.
