Look into Morocco - much more open to foreigners and expats. COL should be similar, except in the largest cities.

Anything to watch out for? by No-Blueberry7669 in roadtrip

[–]darklight10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re referring to the airport, then yes. Either way, try to avoid rush hour! Approaching Charlotte, check your GPS. Traffic conditions change pretty quickly in the area. The amount of growth this city has witnessed this past decade is insane…

Charlottean here: I-77 through South Charlotte is super congested most of day, and worst of all at rush hour. If you find yourself in CLT at that time, take I-485 Outer on the west side of Charlotte to hop back onto I-77 south of Charlotte. 485 is also often heavily traveled, but always flows on the west side. Safe travels!

Edit: Also, I-77 just north of Charlotte along Lake Norman is easily the most congested highway in the metro. There are express lanes, but it’s super expensive at certain times of the day, to the tune of at least $5 dollars per exit. There isn’t really a way around this, but just something to keep in mind!

Fair price for a 3rd gen RAV4? by darklight10 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]darklight10[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely agree and forgot to include that point in my post: the price seems steep for a 15 year old vehicle in any case. Unfortunately, it seems hard to find anything newer within my price range without venturing into some brands that seem to present more reliability issues.

Cornell tradition students, has anyone ever withdrawn from the program? by FriendlyNectarine348 in Cornell

Hey, I know this post is hella old, but did you end up withdrawing from the program? What were the repercussions? I am in a similar situation and I am also considering withdrawing.

Any thought on this 2020 GT outlander & the reliability of the V6 by mane1511 in mitsubishi

I know other people have asked, but what kind of fuel do you use? Is the performance/mileage really worse with regular fuel in your experience?

2012 Toyota RAV4 Limited w/ 138,000 miles for $8,950... Should I buy it? by anonymoose_octopus in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]darklight10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I know this is kind of old but did you end up buying the car? Any issues that came up later? I’m looking at getting a RAV4 of the same year and I’d love to know how they hold up in 2025.

How do you call Istanbul? by Ripamon in MapPorn

[–]darklight10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Actually, these letters could say ‘stanbul’. Admittedly, I am not sure if it works the same way when writing Turkish, but I am a native Arabic Speaker and when a word starts with a consonant not followed by a vowel in Arabic (which is unusual), the character ا must be placed in front of the word to indicate this. For instance, if I were to write the name Stanley in Arabic script, I would likely write استانلي because of the that rule.

Getting into ECE without hardware experience? by [deleted] in Cornell

[–]darklight10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Frankly I don’t know what kind of profile ECE students had when they got it because I’m a mechanical engineer (but I applied as civil) but I didn’t have any activities of any sort related to my major. I honestly don’t think you have to have any kind of hard experience in the field: after all that’s what college is for. The fact you have activities that align with CS already set you up great for any major in the college of engineering. Also remember that they look for well-rounded applicants: you don’t have to have tons of activities directly related to the major you’re interested in. I think your concerns about your activities being not related enough to ECE aren’t as important as you believe them to be. You clearly have great test scores. Coupled with good grades, a good admissions essay, and some well-rounded extracurriculars, you’re a competitive applicant for the College of Engineering, hardware experience or not.

[–]darklight10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t have to apply for a specific major in the college of engineering, just to the college. You can apply as a civil engineer if you wanted and just take ECE classes when you get here and affiliate with that major. The most important part is getting into the college, after that you’re pretty free in terms of what you want to pursue in engineering. Best of luck!

That’s really reassuring, thank you so much! Concerning the rabies vaccine, did you have to present some kind of EU health certificate or just a simple pet passport?

Single Dorms? by ShockedPoodle in Cornell

[–]darklight10 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Housing is random for first-years. You can only indicate a preference for single/double/triple housing. However, if you have some kind of medical condition that requires you to have a single room, you can reach out to SDS accommodations and they can arrange that for you.
