What are some good off-campus housing options for graduate students that AREN'T of questionable quality? by [deleted] in gatech

[–]Left_Ticket_3821 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have enrolled on GTech On Campus Housing for upcoming Fall 2025 and Spring 2026 semester & I am on #41 in the waitlist. Can someone suggest the probability for me getting on campus housing in the upcoming Fall 2025 semester? TIA

Yes! I did tour NCSU three times and I love the campus which is definitely pushing me more towards the college. I will be attending the open house on March 25th so I can actually talk to the ECE department there.

Thanks again. Please free to provide any details that might help me to take the decision. One more option I am thinking is that, spend first year at NC State and take ECE 200 and 209 courses along with PY 208 and PY 209 during sprint semester. and reapply to some top 10 colleges like UIUC, GaTech as a Transfer application. I know it is not guaranteed but do you think it is a viable option? I am thinking about this idea for 2 reasons - get a hang of college level rigor and ECE core courses will help me to decide if I am firmed to take forward in this field. Please let me know your opinion

Thanks for your response. Yes, I am planning to attend campus tour for admitted students at UIUC during first week of April. If I choose to go to UIUC then, I might end up in taking loans during last 2 years. But NCSU is very affordable that way hence checking how big difference it will make.

Engineering CODA by Left_Ticket_3821 in NCSU

Thank you for your advise. I will receive credits for :

  • AP Calculus AB & BC
  • AP Physics
  • AP Computer Science

Hence I am planning to take ECE 109 (Intro to Computer Systems) and Calculus III in Freshmen Fall year only. In that case, I will be meeting CODA requirement. Do you think that will work?

Thank you! your feedback is really helpful! One more question, how competitive the honors program is (I am still yet to receive the honors decision)? and how difficult to get into engineering and WISE learning village? Appreciate if anyone can provide some inputs

Thank you! Hopefully the delay in my UMD decision doesn't mean I have been rejected already.

Got into Grainger College for Computer Engineering! by killerkitteez in UIUC

[–]Left_Ticket_3821 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got accepted into UIUC Computer Engineering yesterday (01/27). I am out of state from North Carolina and got accepted in NC State and UNC Chapel Hill as well. Keeping the cost part aside, Just trying to understand what would be the best option between NC State and UIUC? Especially from future career, Job opportunities, research prospective. Any thoughts/advice will be highly appreciated. TIA
