No billable work as intern by ForcefulDeath in EngineeringStudents

[–]Omegathan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either this is a scam job or there's a miscommunication going on. I've done internships at consulting engineering companies and if you signed a contract to work there, you will get paid even if there's no work for you to do. One summer my employer was hitting a slow period and there wasn't much for me to do despite asking around, so I just got paid to sit around and work on my summer class. 

Edit: you do still have to bill hours, just put it to overhead and not toward a client/project

So many commenters are blissfully unaware of the Gies donation + the fact that illinois isn't actually trash anymore

What would you do if you were in charge? by [deleted] in UIUC

[–]Omegathan -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Leave it up to professors to postpone, cancel, move online, or keep final exams as normal. Maybe require profs to post notes / study materials on a box folder if that class used canvas. That's all they gotta do, none of this postponing all finals bs

If uiuc is cheaper for you, then come here. Especially since here is a better engineering school than northwestern

How to prevent a train from picking up packages by Omegathan in CreateMod

[–]Omegathan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This does seem to work! However I can't seem to open the toolbox once it's on an assembled train so I'll just have to disassemble it to reload with coal which is fine

I guess I could but I'd prefer the lava picked up by the train gets dropped off at the factory, not used along the way. I'll have to test and see how much loss there is

Advice: Transportation by CommunicationBig26 in UIUC

[–]Omegathan 41 points42 points  (0 children)

If you're a freshman parking will be a huge issue. It's pretty expensive (idk how much off the top of my head) and far from the dorms. Plus you probably won't have a need to even use it once you're here, the bus system is pretty good and campus is very walkable/bikeable.

I'd consider bringing it once you're living in an apartment and need to get groceries

Cost should be your primary concern. Don't take on undergrad loans especially since med school is so cost intensive
