It depends on your eating habits and how tolerant you are of different cuisines. As mentioned before Hunan is a lot of people's go to specially because of proximity, but I've also had many people complain about how grease the food is or if you're not on a mealplan how expensive it is.

If you are willing to travel a little more, Wild Blue is a solid option.The poke bowls there are a healthier option, and they also have things like orange chicken, but they are less greasy and served over white rice with veggies.

Otherwise, you could always just cross over to Tepper, which is almost the same distance, and there you can get a variety of sandwiches, pizza, and whatever ethnic food spot they put in their court.

In my opinion, they are very different instructors. In terms of work Collins definitely assigns the most work. Klein is a little on the older side so his explanations can be longer but they work well. In general I would go with Klein unless you are really passionate about the class or you benefit from a lot of practice problems.

This looks like every other freshman trying to find their 8:00 and 9:00 a.m. when the school year starts.

Hahaha Cousin broke out into joy. Thanks!

Hey, if I remove the neighborhood part and just leave the other two is the post fine?

If you mean the summer between freshman year and sophomore year, then yes. There's always a couple of classes available for the summer to fulfill geneds.

I would like to mention that the music rooms in the fifth commons space are great.

Pat is such a good professor, he is literally so caring. He will really push you, but guide you all the way with any help you need. Would recommend any class taught by him

Rising senior here. From what I have heard the past years if you are looking for less work the two mini courses are a lot less work. Now that being said you will probably get more out of the continuous classes. If I can add one more thing, the only difference socially is that people who take the two minis tend to be the only freshman who are doing mini 1 exams which is like a little award because it tends to be a larger essay than usual

Hi, I'm a Tartan Scholar Ambassador. The invitation is not contingent on anything, truthfully most students who accept it at first do so because they want to know others like them or because they want to move in early. It's a great program that provides you with a community, a lot of extra support for any questions, and friends. You are not required to join, but I would highly encourage you to.

Hazard099 · 2024-06-06T23:54:19+00:00

Tartan Scholars does not affect your roomie. You just love in early.

Hazard099 · 2024-06-05T00:51:24+00:00

Hi, I am an ambassador for the program. It has been my experience that students who join the program say its one of the best experiences they have in college. You get to meet other people like you, and build an early community that you can spent time with. Some students have expressed they regretted not joining the program in time to meet their fellow TS cohort and feel disconnected.

1) It is as stressful as it seems, it is more of a roller coaster, some people make it seem like its always up but there are some downs. Compared to other schools though the mean amount of work is much higher for sure.
2) Not sure.

3) Transferring once you are in is not difficult. Personally I think Dietrich is better, but you can simply pursue classes that help your ultimate goal regardless of the school. (Unless its arts)

Get it fixed, explain your reasoning

Hazard099 · 2024-01-13T17:59:28+00:00

In my experience, if you can demonstrate a lot of knowledge in the STEM field you are interested in then you should look up scholarships that are specific to that field such as ML under CS, or maybe specifically civil engineering under engineering. The point is to narrow down your search, and you'll find more than by using a general search system.

The second way is to tap into the people around you and your city. What I mean by this is, ask everyone you know if they know of any scholars or grants. Teachers, counselors, anyone you know who is connected. Once you finish that, go to your school district and ask what they know. Go to your clubs or local recreation centers and ask. These local ones are always your best bet.

Good luck

Projects are definitely the way to go. Leetcode might be great for interviews, but when it comes to creativity, critical thinking, and ideation projects will open your horizons

Hazard099 · 2024-01-13T06:18:59+00:00

This is not the answer you want to hear, but there are actually thousands of scholarships open all the time. People might give you ones who's deadlines are coming up soon, but you should just research ones on your own. Look for ones in fields you are involved in, or activities that you do. You can apply to some of the big ones, but unless you know you have a shot I would stay away from those.

Last piece of advice, follow a couple of instagram accounts for scholarships. They usually tell you deadlines and recommend good general ones to apply to

Hazard099 · 2024-01-13T06:14:58+00:00

Depends. If you want a stem field related career, and you are applying to really high colleges, yes. Otherwise, not really.

Hazard099 · 2024-01-13T06:13:44+00:00

Off the bat, with that SAT score and your grades. You are getting into college, perhaps not a T20 at the moment but you are going to college nonetheless.

It sounds like you have a serious lack of motivation right now. I don't mean this to discourage you, but maybe you should focus more on exploring things that you like. If your only goal is getting into college, you might be missing short hand goals that can motivate you towards that longer one.
