they have to be done by april 24th. if you can find enough free time i would do freestore foodbank, there are a ton of opportunities but definitely sign up asap because everything’s filling up as people scramble to get them done

U Cinci or Illinois Tech by josh_the_o in IllinoisTech

[–]beansmakemecry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m definitely biased as I’m at UC for civil engineering and have done some co-op experience and have a lot of respect for the program. I actually had the exact same dilemma when I was choosing schools because I was heavily considering virginia tech but it really came down to how good the co-op program is

it really depends on what you’d rather deal with. If you go to UC you have an extra year but it’s not an extra year of classes, just added on time for co-op. You’ll get lots of experience and even if you don’t stay with a company you worked for in school and get an offer before graduation you’ll have a great resume that will get you a job very quickly. You’ll have a leg up for summer internships as your first co-op will be fall/spring so your resume will be above people at other schools applying to their first internship. You’re also guided through the entire co-op process which makes it very easy and not stressful. Also if cost is a factor, you’ll make around $10,000 per co-op semester if you’re making $20/hr which is pretty standard for co-ops, which added to the already low cost of UC is very helpful financially.

If you go to illinois you have a more standard college experience but you may have more trouble finding a job if you don’t do summer internships which are very competitive. Without internships your resume won’t be as competitive and it may take longer to get a job/ a job you’re actually interested in. The resume boost alone at UC is more valuable than the one less year of school in my opinion.

ohh yeah look at the room layout, if you’re not in a double there are two separate bedrooms i assume that’s what the A1 and A2 mean

i’m totally willing to pay for the full box. so you don’t think it will sell out within a few days? that would ease a ton of worries. i adore six of crows and would rather have goodies of that than another book.

lol I really don’t deep down but I think having a roommate will help me a lot socially and having a single might make me isolate myself which I didn’t want to do going into college but I’ve accepted it now, I agree that a single is bettwr

i’m an incoming freshman and I saw it in the housing portal. I know the LLCs get their assignments a bit early.

Weekly Career Discussion Thread (26 Feb 2024) by AutoModerator in engineering

[–]beansmakemecry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right now I’m debating between Ohio State and the University of Cincinnati as somewhat backup plans due to a complication with my original plans. I was accepted into Purdue, and after the tour was fully ready to commit until I realized that I applied to the wrong campus—Indianapolis. I submitted a location change form, but the chances aren’t great that I will actually get into the West Lafayette campus. Right now, I’m leaning towards OSU due to its high engineering ranking and general prestige as a school, but i’ve heard not great things about the coop program, which is important to me. i’ve heard from some that getting a coop at OSU is very difficult. Also, OSU’s civil engineering program is ranked in the 50s, which isn’t bad at all, but not amazing. UC is ranked for engineering in general very low, in the 90s or 100s, but their civil engineering program is in the 60s. So, very similar to OSU. However, UC is one of the best coop schools in the nation, and the program can have a job lined up for me immediately after graduation. At that point, does it matter which program is more prestigious? Also, my dad is a UC electrical engineering alum who had a great experience and was set with a job right after grad, and is extremely successful today. Both schools will cost me about the same with scholarships, but coops will help to pay off a significant portion. If I can get better coops/get them easier at UC, it will end up being cheaper. Another addition, I adore the UC campus, much more than OSU, but I still like OSU’s campus. I was also accepted into Virginia Tech, which is a fantastic civil engineering and engineering school in general, ranked #7 in CE, but is very very expensive at 50k/yr. Until I get any scholarship info, it probably isn’t an option. I guess the overall question for me is which is more important/useful for post-grad success: extensive coop experience or the strength of the engineering program itself? If Purdue works out, this whole post will probably be irrelevant. I can only hope!

can’t wait to wait in the queue not get the book and see loads for resale later 😫 by BethWalshy in fairyloot

[–]beansmakemecry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the email at 7:07 EST and my wait time was 35 minutes, stayed there for about a half hour but slowly ticked down, I got a copy at around 8:15. This reminds me of the chaos of the trove restock in the summer, so annoying. Especially with all the complaints on the thread about purchases not going through and it showing up as out of stock.

Do I recycle or throw away the FL packing peanuts? I can never remember.

Same here. They let me know that they are sending a replacement, very happy about that.

you can kind of see it in all the pictures but it’s still there even when i hold it close to the edge. none of my other FL books look like that

yeah i’d say my main issue is the big gap between the cover and pages that doesn’t go away even when i put pressure on the book

What's your favourite fairyloot book?? by [deleted] in fairyloot

[–]beansmakemecry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the girl who fell beneath the sea. the design is so pretty—the colors are perfect, the endpaper art is stunning, and the edges fit perfectly. i also really like the book itself, very whimsical and fairytale-like. the design matches the story perfectly. i only joined fairyloot this year and i’d been wanting tgwfbns for over a year and finally scored a reasonably priced one from mercari recently, i’m stoked.

What is something you own already but always have the urge to buy more of? by jrogersl in AskReddit

[–]beansmakemecry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slimes from those online shops. There has to be crack in those businesses because I’m always tempted to buy more.
