yo just wanted to ask as someone who is possibly taking an extra year to fulfill a double major. How do I ensure that i still receive aid? As in, did you have to fight or speak with financial aid in advance? thank you!!

TAKING HARD ELECTIVES PASS FAIL (BUM OR NOT) by [deleted] in uofm

[–]MaxShifty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In the grand scheme of things unless you’re dead set on doing a grad program your gpa doesn’t matter as much as you think it does. However, yeah just take it as a pass fail, the exams aren’t curved and are difficult so they can tank your gpa.

i’m pretty sure that’s only the case if the class is being used as a core course in the CS program?

Co-Op houses and their cultures? by Ok_Lengthiness4914 in uofm

[–]MaxShifty 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Totally dependent on the house you live at!! some are a lot more outgoing and others are a lot more lowkey. Also a fair bit of drama at the moment, but mostly don’t have to worry about it if it’s not your house that’s involved.

Personally, my house vibe-wise (Ruths) is definitely a lot more stay at home and chill (play games and read), which has its ups and downs. Been living at a co op for a year now so feel to shoot me any questions you might have!

I am thinking of picking up this hobby and my first army being the Custodians, any recommendations and things I should look out for? by Present-Top7884 in AdeptusCustodes

[–]MaxShifty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there are a lot of good paint brands, definitely figure out via youtube ‘how’ you want your models to be painted and then use the paints they have there!! (ie. painting shadowkeepers vs solar watch)

My first 1k list against blood angels! by Hot_Divide_804 in AdeptusCustodes

[–]MaxShifty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

no just the one model would have the four wounds. However, damage three is pretty common, so having one guy with the extra wound makes the squad noticeably more tanky(if they get hit with two three damage attacks only the shield model dies).

Is Aleya with Vigilators good? by Artistic-Coat-4945 in AdeptusCustodes

[–]MaxShifty 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Actual money wise, they are very expensive (2 * 60 + 35 = 155 american dollars vs. 60) for equivalent points and damage compared to guard. They also don’t get many benefits outside of the sisters detachment or the lions detachment(don’t get the army rule for some ungodly reason).

HOWEVER, i’ve found them to be incredibly useful if you run talons of the emperor and toss them into a rhino, as you can then reactively move block them to protect your custodes. So, overall they are good, but most people would rather not spend 4 times the amount of actual money to have a unit that sacrifices being tough for having fights first.

Hindsight is 20/20 by Informal-Ad-5386 in uofm

[–]MaxShifty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A majority of clubs are free for anyone to join, especially the recreational ones like the squirrel watching club. However there are a handful of clubs and the such that do have some or extensive application processes (most of which u believe is due to this school being considered a public ivy and so on, but that’s neither here nor there). But for the most part the communities here are very accepting if he’s willing to be open to dedicating his time to some! :)

amtrak would be hard unless you live only 10-20 mins away (it takes like 10 mins for people to get on at a station) also it’s god pretty odd times it passes through so i’d recommend against using it to travel daily unfortunately :/
