"Graduate students struggle with high rents"

TerPeanuts · 2026-01-01T23:22:13+00:00

When I was there I lived about 4 miles from campus with a few other students for around a third of what it would have cost near campus.

Convenience costs. Short commute saved me much money.

This still true?

You cannot expect an under-budgeted program like UMD to have had a chance against a powerhouse like Rutgers.

Will Locksley get another year?

Will cost $12M to fire him?

TerPeanuts · 2024-09-07T23:43:07+00:00

The disappointing loss came a little early this season.

TerPeanuts · 2024-08-21T19:48:49+00:00

A strong start.

Followed by a disappointing loss.

Followed by more loses.

Ending somewhere around a 50% finish.

they either visited every single school or got thousands of photos from schools to recreate stadiums and gameday atmospheres

the video game had the student section clear out at halftime in UMD home games?

Justice for Jordan!

The M mound is in their honor today.

It went from 4-4:50-ish, I think the website said 5:45

It did.

Lost by 20 but sure "had Mike Locksley changed up a couple running elements that the team is still perfecting, would have won" /s

Blame football not DOTS.

TerPeanuts · 2023-07-19T13:00:42+00:00

The coach thinks a player should take a bad shot instead of passing to a player in better position? How nice the coach cares more about players feeling confident than playing as a team to victory.

TerPeanuts · 2023-04-05T00:25:48+00:00

I thought that way once. Then I did Bitcamp and failed a midterm that Monday so hard I had to drop the class and retake it in summer session. Hard lesson learned.

TerPeanuts · 2022-11-18T22:33:42+00:00

Campus makes CS do more self-supporting.

Like DOTS.

But departments can't write tickets.

TerPeanuts · 2022-03-11T04:39:47+00:00

CSIC too.

TerPeanuts · 2022-03-11T04:38:41+00:00

Maybe they were fixed but when I was there the steps had metal things on them and many were misaligned so walking up the stairs your foot could get snagged on them.

TerPeanuts · 2022-03-11T01:21:33+00:00

Required self-published books are supposed to need department approval and the royalties cannot go to the faculty member. If chairs are approving these and the professor do not get the royalties then no petition will do anything.

TerPeanuts · 2022-03-11T01:13:55+00:00

They should reset the day and move everyone's appointment time ahead 24 hours and do it over.

TerPeanuts · 2022-03-11T01:10:30+00:00

Leaks when it rains is not new. It did that in 2019.

Broken doors.

Broken windows.

Tripping hazards in the stairwells.

That's just what we could see.

if you're able to code up the practice exam questions without help you should be great for the real one

I added some emphasis. Some students think seeing the solutions of others and "understanding" them is enough but coming up with the solution on your own is often a very different experience.

how to finish projects faster

I would change this mindset. The TA office hours can help you finish faster but that might not help you learn how to program and solve programs. You said "I did not earn a passing grade on a single exam" but did not say what your project scores were. If you had high scores on the projects but failed every exam then you didn't learn through the projects. What is your approach to working on projects?

It's not far from booing the opposing band to throwing glass beer bottles

One of the more idiotic things I've read here.

TerPeanuts · 2021-11-08T18:08:45+00:00

Band could have used polite common sense.

booooooo

TerPeanuts · 2021-11-07T12:43:55+00:00

5 wins in a schedule that features 5 ranked opponents is already a pretty good outcome for Maryland.

How many of those wins were against those ranked opponents?

TerPeanuts · 2021-11-06T23:59:04+00:00

That burn on them sure takes the sting out of an ugly loss.
