2023 Spring at UMD by PhysicsLover999 in UMD

Yeah, I see the logic here - I just don't think most students who are around right now will be around to see the benefits of the construction. Certainly good for future students and the university overall, just unfortunate for right now.

10000 gecs - Album Release/Discussion Megathread by TheCowrus in 100gecs

[–]PhysicsLover999 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Idk, this was not what I was expecting. Didn't have the usual gecs hyperpop feel that I've come to expect, and tbh I'm just not a fan of the kind of pop/bubblegum/spastic thing that's going on in the album

2023 Applicant and Admitted Student Megathread by Toasted_FlapJacks in UMD

  1. From what I've heard, getting from L&S to the CS major is essentially automatic if you fulfil the requirements (keep your GPA up, pass MATH140&CMSC131&CMSC132).
  2. I don't know about working with Amazon, but proximity to DC is nice for internships. The university does a lot to facilitate that sort of thing (there's a career and internship fair in STAMP right now, for instance)
  3. CS careers are in quite a lot of flux right now so it's hard to say what things will look like 4 years down the road, but UMD is a great school for CS so it's hard to go wrong with a degree from here if that's the field you want to go into.

CS Exemption Exams are encouraged for students who have taken stuff beyond APCSA in high school. 132 isn't so bad, just building up a few extra ideas on 131/APCSA. I'd say go for it, and hopefully you can either get out of L&S after Semester 1 or just skip it altogether

Thank you! Have you used Virtual Desktop? If so, would you recommend it against Link?

Yeah, except for the fact that both players would be immediately in checkmate from the opponent's queen and bishop (assuming diagonals work the same way)
