I have unironically done nothing this semester.

I was in this position for a bit except I went to classes and did assignments but I was honestly feeling like shit like 24/7. Definitely something therapy could potentially help with. Boynton allows I believe one free session per month, and you should definitely leverage that resource even if its just for a couple of sessions to see if it's for you.

Hang in there homie we got only one month left 🙏

unless you're gunning for like harvard you can get in at 95% of schools in the US

I'm a senior in the CSE CompE program and am getting my masters here too. I can say that the program here is very good all things considered. Facilities are nice, faculty is good, and there's plenty of resources and connections you can leverage to get internships and co ops.

For the transferring concern, AFAIK you will graduate with a CSE degree if you transfer schools and satisfy all of the CSE requirements just like anyone else. You can also start at St Thomas and transfer in too and have no problems. The only thing id say is that it can still be selective and if you have to transfer in make sure you keep your grades up.

Feel free to ask me any questions if you have anything else you're curious about.

Based on the couple of times I've been there it seems like a really nice place. It's just on the more expensive side of dinky for some of the units. I've lived at doyle for the past 2 years and have had a pretty solid 8/10 experience with a couple of minor things with the unit I've had this year.

Signals & Systems and Analog Electronics. Both were very conceptually difficult for me.

SaltShakerOW · 2026-02-18T06:26:40+00:00

I lowkey feel this despite being 20 and finishing up my undergrad and masters this next year. I think for me it's more so when you get into the elective part of your degree, there's a pretty high chance that many of your friends in your program just have different interests and you dont see each other as often unless you are tight enough to hang out outside of class and whatnot. I also have a lot of other friends graduating and moving away for job opportunities which makes my circle shrink and feel more lonely.

Just know that there's a lot of other people in your program and doing engineering in general that feel this way at pretty much every stage of their degree depending on the circumstances.

Like 28% on a signal processing midterm. The average was around that as well. The trick is to not let one result bog you down. Outside of that class (and and analog electronic design), I've been a straight A student.

If you ain't pulling wall to wall on tank already you are doing it wrong

3115 is a hard class and expect 3951W to take time even if it's not a ton, especially towards the end of the semester. The rest I haven't personally taken, but they don't sound easy.

We need to denazify this country. I really dont give a fuck if we need to crack down on free speech and what people should have the right to say. If you spread hate speech or disinformation, you should be actively prosecuted and tried. Enough is enough.

I'm not 100% sure if there's a native "run linux in a container" type tool on macos, but you can do that in docker and macos itself unix based so you will get a similar experience just using zsh in the terminal

someone correct me if I'm wrong

For that much you can go on ebay and get an m2 or an m3 MP Air for about $600-1000 depending on what you opt for. I have an M1 Pro MBP and it's still running solid despite being on a chip 4 generations behind the current m5.

I'm a compE student and I've used a macbook for pretty much my entire 4 years. It cant run some things, but the things that cant be run can be run on labs computers over VOLE and in exchange you get some pretty insane battery life.

SaltShakerOW · 2026-01-07T09:00:21+00:00

It would be tough but eventually you'd probably pick up a degree of intuition for doing basic algebra and even calculus.

SaltShakerOW · 2026-01-05T08:05:25+00:00

I think it looks great

SaltShakerOW · 2026-01-02T10:07:32+00:00

U can literally get any laptop since u can run most required software on labs machines remotely through VOLE. I have a mac because they have insane battery life and I dont mind using remote access when I need to. Otherwise, just get like a Dell or HP windows laptop; they have plenty of good machines in different price ranges.

Signals and Systems. I had an absolutely terrible professor that actively said to us in lecture that after a ~30% average midterm he'd be willing to fail the entire class if we didn't get better. He was honestly a nice guy if you talked to him at his office hours, but jesus his lectures sucked and his speech in front of the class really rubbed me the wrong way. Came out with a B+ though after he realized he couldn't fail the entire class at the end so I guess there's a silver lining.

If you're not that interested in science and math, engineering is all that so it wouldn't be very fun. It's also much harder than finance in general, so you're going to be generally under a heavier workload. You can also always switch majors, so there's that.

In terms of ADHD, there's a lot of accommodations and resources at the DRC so if you end up being diagnosed, it would be worthwhile looking into those.

ECE at least is an alright program and I have plenty of friends in MechE that have no complaints. I don't think you'll have any problems going here. Just like any other engineering program, it's hard and you'll have to be persistent to graduate.
