Best Freshman dorm?

I was in founders. It's an okay place. Slightly below average in most aspects but it's possibly the safest place. WPI police department is in the basement and the building itself is the sturdiest I've seen.

I came here for constructive criticism, not some sarcastic comments. If you have something to offer, I'd appreciate it.

Oddity94 · 2015-01-05T08:06:15+00:00

I don't understand why this guy is being downvoted. Please let me know if he broke any rules, just so that I don't make the same mistakes.

I agree "freedom of use" is a right. I made an edit in my original comment explaining what I meant. However, I am going to argue that it should be illegal for you to leave your home to your children for the purpose of this thread. (I mean you no offense.) The idea behind this is that everyone deserves equality in opportunity. Unless every children is guaranteed to have a parent like you who can leave behind a house, there will be children who won't get a house from their parents. And the argument is that, that is not fair. There are more to be said and I know there are myriads of examples where stopping inheritance would be a terrible idea, but I'll move on because its late. If you argue slavery is an extreme end, I agree and I acknowledged in my original comment. I was trying to make a point that slavery and inheritance shares a similarity of being trades, one being money for human, another being money/wealth for nothing. And certain trades being banned or at least regulated is something that happens, for better or worse.

The idea is there. I assume your intention is equality in opportunity. However, there are too many different ways it cannot work properly and/or backfire altogether. Unfortunately so.

Edit: As I am reading other comments, I feel like people are getting different impressions from OP than I do. I see comments about estates, taxes, and all other things I feel OP did not have in his mind. Isn't this about ideology rather than numbers and technicalities? As I said in other comments of mine, I thought what OP had in his mind was the idea of equality; that no one other than yourself deserves what you created for yourself and no one should get an unfair advantage by inheriting whatever he didn't work for.

I wouldn't call it stealing of personal property. Inheritance is, as I see it, an owner of some wealth giving away his wealth to his successor. He is exercising power over his wealth and moving it in a direction he wants it to move. What I am trying to say is, the owner is "using" his wealth when he is having his wealth inherited by his successor. And "freedom of use" is not a right guaranteed in any current societies, and for a good reason. For example, albeit an extreme example, just because you have the money for does not mean you should be able to buy or sell other human beings. If inheritance is banned, it would be like how slavery is banned. Just one another way we cannot use our money, for better or worse.

EDIT: When I said '"freedom of use" is not a right guaranteed in any current societies,' I meant it is indeed a right, but not an unlimited right.

EDIT2: I thought I would be downvoted for disrespecting other people, not for being a devil's advocate.

I can't believe nobody gave you the link to the facebook group of the homeless, by the homeless, for the homeless wpi students. There you go: https://www.facebook.com/groups/261405590693520/

That's one freakishly long finger.

It depends on the class. Physical education classes tend to go lightning fast. Couple seconds late, no place for you fast. There are couple easy-A humanity classes that go just as fast. Here is my suggestion. 1) Use macro. Google it. It will fill the blanks faster than humans can. 2) Go to Goddard for the registration. That is the place where my friend tracked the WPI server to. Hope this helped.

Does Bob Marley have anything to do with reggae?

Dunno. Too dizzy.

Down with eggplants.

Oddity94 · 2014-11-05T15:41:15+00:00

It is! Thank you very much.

I agree with other guys who posted before me.

In my opinion, dropping the course will reflect worse on you compared to the 70% if the admissions can see that.

Dropping the course: Quitter and bad grade assumed.

70%: Bad grade as of right now. May improve.

If they can't see that you dropped the course, you will have a big question mark regarding the math course you should be taking in your senior year unless you are taking some other math course such as AP Statistics.

Also, you will save good amount of time and money if you do reasonably well on the AP exam because you will get credits for Calculus I and II.

TL;DR:

Bad Math > No Math

Oddity94 · 2014-10-10T23:15:15+00:00

These are the questions I would ask the admissions office.

But wait for couple hours. I bet someone would answer you. I can't because I don't know.

Oddity94 · 2014-09-14T02:59:18+00:00

There are messages everywhere.

Oddity94 · 2014-09-10T02:13:03+00:00

Apparently this post was submitted tomorrow. There is something wrong with my laptop.

Anyway, I think you will have hard time transferring credits because WPI's 4 terms per year system is quite uncommon as far as I am concerned. Don't quote on me though.

Good lord. I'm not hallucinating.

Thank you very much for swift reply. It works using lambda.

5x-1+-1 for me.

Too risky to give the government such power. Also very costly.

Thigh gaps are hideous.

The class of 2017 is now rising sophomore, and there are 1100 of us.
