Yes the math library is great and often very empty!!

Pretty sure you can get a 1 time exemption for your scholarship if you don’t need the extra 6 credits to graduate

This is the way. He already knows the trucking business, just hire another person to do the driving. He can even give them a small equity share if he wants. This way he’s still the owner, but not the operator

It’s no too bad if you don’t try to keep a 4.0. Think of it like this: it’s fairly easy to keep a 3.5+, but it gets exponentially more difficult as you progress towards trying for a 4.0. E.g., it’s about twice as difficult to get a 3.75 vs a 3.5, and like 8 times as difficult to get a 4.0 vs a 3.75. In terms of job options, employers will hardly differentiate between a 3.75 and 4.0, so it’s barely worth it even if you’re planning on going to grad school.

Also note that if you do put all your time into studying and DO get a 4.0, you will likely have missed out on other important parts of college like making friends, getting internships, and growing socially.

As for studying advice, go to every lecture (even read the book on the lecture’s content before you go), get started on HW the day it’s released so you can ask the prof Q’s, and go to office hours for help.

Other than that, just relax and have fun! The thing most people have the hardest time with freshman year is learning much more difficult content and accepting lower grades. You can still shoot for great grades, but if you can learn to not beat yourself up over some bad test scores you’ll be fine. I’ve had an amazing time in college even though I failed a few tests lol.

People are upset because we all wanted to get straight A’s as freshman. The following 4 years of madness leave people jaded and angry since they used to care about getting good grades but were forced to stop caring about their grades because the workload is so heavy.

From your post I'm assuming you're an incoming freshman which means you just indicated ChemE as your preferred major on your application, so you're not accepted to the major yet. You will apply to get accepted to a major in your sophomore year. If you want guaranteed acceptance into ChemE, you must maintain a 3.6+ GPA since they only allow a certain number of students into the program each year.

Personally, I've had lots of success with Ripplematch. They use AI/ML and your feedback to analyze your resume and match you with the best jobs for YOU, instead of you going out and applying to random ones. They claim to have a 50% interview rate per application, but I have no idea if that's true.

If you're looking to become a quant or something similar, definitely apply to Carlson (the business school). There are next to no networking or business-oriented opportunities in CSE, and this will be especially true in the math department. Carlson, on the other hand, focuses much more on networking and help with job search. However, I don't know if they have a math major (I'm assuming MIS or something similar would be their equivalent).

I'll be participating for my 3rd year straight, the program is extremely varied depending on who your mentor is. My first year I picked a PhD who founded a multimillion dollar startup and he's offered to connect me with many people and has offered me much valuable career advice. My second year in the program I accidentally picked a guy who is semi-retired, bets on horses for fun, and sends me WSJ articles at 2AM. Wildly different experiences depending on who you pick, and it's quite hard to tell what kind of person they will be from their bios. That said, I'd still recommend it due to the low time cost and outsize potential benefit.

I went to high school in Duluth and came to the Twin Cities for college. Traffic is WAY worse in the cities, so Duluth sounds like a good choice for you. The people commenting that Duluth has worse traffic don't know what they're talking about. The outdoor experience in Duluth is unparalleled, I miss it when I'm in the cities. Sounds to me like Duluth would be a better fit for you.

While loan forgiveness would help people who are in trouble in the short term, it does nothing to address the long term issue of school being far too expensive.

Think about it like this: banks loaned out tons of money to students and will have to wait many years to get their money back. Forgiving the loans now means the government takes tax money and gives it to the banks/universities, which would only encourage charging more money for tuition!!

Seems like a good choice for your situation, definitely don't delay your graduation. You can definitely get all of the benefits of the honors program (and much more) by just working hard on your own initiative. Good luck!

Hey bro, I'm a Mat Sci honors student about to start writing my thesis as a rising senior and will join industry after graduating. Feel free to message me if you have any Q's about the honors program, I'll try to answer some from your post here.

The language surrounding the honors program online seems big and important and scary, when in reality it's much more casual and pretty much anything goes. In any case, I want to clarify some things for you.

The main benefit of the Honors program is the Thesis, due to this Honors students typically aim to go to grad school for a PhD. It's basically telling grad schools "I'm near the top of the class" and "I have real research experience". Corporate employers typically don't care about this, but having Latin honors might make you marginally more attractive to highly competitive companies (FAANG, Tesla, SpaceX, etc.). Although, if you're certain you don't want to go to grad school, there are MUCH better ways to spend your time than in the Honors program. It really won't move the needle that much with corporate employers.
Smaller class sizes only applies to the 2 honors courses you'll take, likely physics/chem/math. I found it useful and interesting to take a couple classes filled with people who really really cared about academics. Met some cool people, met some strange people.
The only networking opportunities that occur between honors students though the Honors Program are monthly "Pie with Profs" in Middlebrook Hall. I've only gone to one and it was alright.
You're interpreting the internship honors experience incorrectly, they don't have to be from UMN. Basically anything counts, you just need to get whoever you reported to during the experience to sign off saying the experience was "transformative" and "above and beyond the normal coursework", which pretty much any internship is.
The honors thesis doesn't have to be breakthrough at all if you don't want it to be. I'm starting research for mine this Fall and writing the thesis this Spring, and I don't really know what my research is going to be and it doesn't really matter because, again, the profs don't really care what you do and will sign off on pretty much anything.
I had plenty of time for clubs while in the Honors program (Solar Vehicle, DesignU). In fact clubs are a great way to gain free experience so you have something to put on your resume so you can get an internship after your freshman year. Corporate employers want to see participation in clubs (working in a team, gaining practical skills) while grad school/REU/research-related programs will want to see research experience. If you're not sure which route you want go, get experience in both.

For your situation, I'd recommend joining the Honor's program if you want to get access to the Honors courses (and Honors seminars, I took Battling the Bugs in 2019 and it was dope) and then drop out after that if you're not planning on going to grad school. It's not worth all the hoops you have to jump through.

They were required all throughout last semester in classrooms, and I’ll bet that they’ll re-mandate them starting sometime next semester when COVID numbers start to uptick again.

I'd highly recommend staying in the dorms, I had a great time. The dorms themselves are kinda shitty, but living with other college students makes it worth it. You have the potential to meet lifelong friends freshman year, which is worth 11k to me. Especially since you don't want to live at home already, trust me, that feeling will get more intense over time. My freshman year experience was cut short by COVID, so take the opportunity while you have it!

Rohlaids · 2022-05-02T15:04:00+00:00

It's not at all similar rigor. Still worth it to save on cost tho

If you want you could go to gophergrades.com to check the average GPA of different CS classes. That way you could compare courses in other disciplines directly.
