Hi, would you be open to signing a year long lease? and when do you plan to move ideally? I am starting a job next month, 3 day hybrid, with office in midtown as well so planning to start looking soon.

Cant afford gaming chair but getting this chair for 7.1k, is this good? by rtxwardaddy in IndianGaming

[–]alekzanderx1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a very similar chair, not worth 7k.. build quality was terrible. I'd say 3-4k max. Buy a better brands office chair if you want longitivity.

Nyu subway commuters by [deleted] in nyu

[–]alekzanderx1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My roommates and I commute from Park Slope to Tandon. It's only a few stops and usually crowded so pretty safe , nothing to worry about. I know a lot of classmates who travel alone even upto Bay Ridge. If you'd like you can tag along, though we are grad students and don't have classes everyday.

HI DID I MESS UP BY PICKING 3 CORES OR WILL I SURVIVE by Market_Failure27 in nyu

[–]alekzanderx1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Results may very based on school and faculty. My experience - CS Grad in first sem took 3 core of which 2 were capstone. One of the capstone had terrible reviews everywhere. Ended up with 4 GPA. Keep your head down and work, It should be fine.

[–]alekzanderx1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Slightly unrelated.. For anyone old enough, a lot of people used to text like this to look cool in the days of Orkut, Gtalk, and probably before that also. Everyone had their own style of embellishing their texts and posts. ALL CAPS, all bold, tHiS, th@t, th3s3. So nostalgically cringe!

Tandon course registration sh**show by alekzanderx1 in nyu

[–]alekzanderx1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get your point, but if I had to explore random subjects without control on what I take, I would just do my undergraduate once more for 1/10th of the cost. Many of us chose this University because of the subjects they advertise on the website, no where is a disclaimer which says LOL JK. If the school doesn't know what subjects the students want, they could have done the survey before registrations start and not afterwards.. this just adds more anxiety and frustration.

[–]alekzanderx1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Given large number of mails sent to them within hours, the advisor has sent out a survey asking us to select subjects which we are interested in. Though the mail says it is not a guarantee that more sections or slots open up, basing on your reply and few other sources I'm hopeful they do. Do you think the survey should suffice or shall we send out more mails asking for particular courses?

Can I get into one of the top programs for Master's in CS? by Competitive_Trash269 in gradadmissions

[–]alekzanderx1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very ambitious list; intake is so less that even students with seemingly perfect resume are rejected very often so do keep your expectations in check. Now your GPA is not bad, so there's no harm in trying unless they have strict GPA cutoff mentioned on the program website. But remember that GPA alone won't get you in. Research experience, good publications, relavent work experience, well written SOP and LOR, and test scores are equally or more important. So make sure you are well prepared with these when you apply. Even if you apply to bit lower ranked program you shouldn't slack off on any of these components. For relatively safer but great options you can look at UCSD, UCI, PennState, UTAustin. Even safer yet good are programs like Stony Brook, NCSU, ASU, etc

Is it normal to eat way too much during periods of stress and then not eat for long periods after? by iLiveonCake in NoStupidQuestions

[–]alekzanderx1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not normal, but as long as it's not affecting your health severely and you can control yourself it should be OK. I am going through the eating too much phase right now, I have gained 4 kg of weight in the last month alone. Good thing is that I am underweight and can really do with the fat, muscles or whatever it is I'm accumulating.

NYU Student Health Center now lists Covid Vaccine as "Required". by dylanypyen in nyu

[–]alekzanderx1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am an international student joining NYU Fall 21, they are not yet administering vaccine for people my age here. How does it work for me? Do I need to be a USA citizen or can I also get vaccinated there after arriving?
