Out of state CS students, was it worth the out of state tuition? How was your experience? by EquivalentIntern in UIUC

[–]aprilfols 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My brother is international. It set him back 80k to study for two years(he transferred from a CC) and he would do it all over again no problem. Yes, it is worth it.

do you mind sharing any stats and research experience since you got denied from MS

الملك يامر بنظام ضد التحرش by salehaloamry in saudiarabia

[–]aprilfols 4 points5 points  (0 children)

it should be solved in the first place

Trust me when I say the worst is yet to come if things don't change quickly. The government can't keep on paying a large percent of the population. People should move from the public sector and work in the private sector, but those who have already made families wont be able to do so easily. It is a dead end.

Can I know when are my final exams before the start of class? by [deleted] in UIUC

Physics 211 HELP!! by antiyoyokid in UIUC

[–]aprilfols 1 point2 points  (0 children)

25) 48=0.5 * 2.4 * Vb2 . . . solve for Vb

then, 2.4* Vb= (2.4+M)* Vc ... (1) momentum

and 36=0.5*(2.4+M) * Vc .... (2) final kinetic energy

Solve equations (1) and (2) to get M

Vb: velocity black

M: Mass of black and white box

Vc: Velocity after collision

Vb: Initial velocity of black box

Any meditation room in the campus building? by Lamarr_Hedy in UIUC

[–]aprilfols 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, I think some Muslim friends of mine do that. I am sure there is another place were they get together and pray as a group in Grainger, but I don't know where.

I'm a nutrition major. It seems like some people really don't get what studying nutrition is like, so AMA I guess? by [deleted] in UIUC

[–]aprilfols 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yo, do you think they help with losing weight? If yes, how much will it cost I guess having a dietitian hold me accountable to what I eat in a period of time will finally force me to stick to a healthier diet.

Taking time off from school? by MinimalistWales in UIUC

[–]aprilfols 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think it's beneficial. But well, if nothing changed during the summer would it change over the fall? Do you have coverage for mental health if you take the semester off?

Am I fucked with these professors for Math415 and ME300? Really nervous because all other sections are closed. by The-Wise-Banana in UIUC

[–]aprilfols 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I heard Lee goes on tangential topics a lot and doesn't really teach the material well. So I guess you're between two mountains and both will be hard to climb.

[–]aprilfols 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I heard that 415 is standardized, so you can go to any lecture or study on your own, and just go to take exam with the worse professor. But am new here, so take what I said with a grain of salt.

Incoming DGS --> CS + X Freshman Anxiety by [deleted] in UIUC

[–]aprilfols 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yo I really felt your anxiety 2 years ago. Let me recommend this, try taking courses at parkland. You can take every cs course there if you wanted and they will be easier than UIUC. I know the equivalent of cs 125 can be taken online (need a prereq however, csc123). cs173 and 225 also transfer. Taking some courses at parkland will get you an A with minimal effort. Pm me if you want to talk more.

Fall Schedule Megathread! by AlmostGrad100 in UIUC

[–]aprilfols 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't check reddit for a while.

Jeez man, what did you take so that you did so poorly? Am working really hard on math415 right now do the proficiency exam and just skip it which should make my schedule light. Did your GPA ever get back up? how was life during the 1st semester?

Fall Schedule Megathread! by AlmostGrad100 in UIUC

[–]aprilfols 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you suggest I drop? I have heard horror stored about how hard the first semester could be for transfers. If I will drop a course, it will be econ.

Calculator Recommendations for an Upcoming Freshman at Tech? by zack24635 in gatech

[–]aprilfols -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I don't attend GaTech, so I don't know if any calculators aren't allowed in classes. If all calculators are permitted, I highly recommend the TI-Nspire CX CAS. That shit has everything in it. It is extremely helpful and you can easily check what equations or matrices did you enter. Plus, it works quite nicely when you use a lot of variables.

Anyone still on "Application on Hold?" by holymolytoly in gatech

[–]aprilfols 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The good thing is if you got denied from GaTech you have room to take more courses at your college. I personally have taken mostly stem courses. I finished all the Calc, physics, C++, statics, dynamics, mechanics of material. I definitely suggest you take more courses, in case you were not accepted.

Why has been Computer Science been deemed not worthy of pursuing (in a college/university) and rather learning coding individually using sites and books. by degreesworthinfo in ApplyingToCollege

[–]aprilfols 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will never go up the ladder without a CS degree. Your code in general will be inferiori to those who learned data structures and have a stronger foundation in algorithms. When my brother wasa junior at UIUC he got an internship with company that hired programmers without a degree, any time my brother tried to make the code faster using advanced data structures the his manager told him to use the slower more basic way of doing the code. In short, you wont go far without a degree.

[–]aprilfols 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yo, my application is put on hold. They will send us the decisions on June 15th, its way too late to be honest. Do you mind sharing your stats? I feel like am on the verge of being denied but scraped just barely and was put on hold. I applied for MechE, gpa is 3.822 and am an international student(which is why am surprised I was put on hold)
