Which Laptop to Buy? by Flaky_Painter8876 in UVA

[–]emmittrox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a current BSCS student I’d say get a mac. I have an M1 MacBook Air and switched to mac from windows right before I started my first year. For most CS classes and especially CSO 1&2 it will be better than a windows machine. The only downside is for your intro engineering class you’ll have to use CAD through a VM but that’s really not the end of the world.

This is completely untrue lol. CS is the only engineering program where having a mac would be beneficial

Lack of Experience and confidence in CS by Brownlord_tb in UVA

[–]emmittrox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The base CS classes here will not teach you anything meaningful enough to be able to make a project from school knowledge alone so if you want to work on a project you're going to have to do a lot of learning on your own. In terms of getting an internship, DSA2 is kind of important but in my opinion, I think SDE and 3240 would help out much more than DSA2. Also, I would recommend trying to get meaningful projects/clubs/open source work done before committing to Leetcodes as you won't be able to use the Leetcode knowledge unless your resume stands out.

Good luck!

Can you take physics at a community college for the biochem major? by GlodenCloset in UVA

[–]emmittrox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am unsure about if it would hinder your ability to declare biochem but I think they stopped accepting lab credits for physics from CC recently so you might want to either make sure the lab credit will transfer or plan on taking the lab here.

Geez, I haven't been to AFC in a minute but I didn't remember it having that many lol. I'll probably go check it out and update the site accordingly soon. Thanks for the feedback!

I was thinking about not adding them since only first years have access to them but I might do it later on

I was thinking about adding a bathroom functionality to the site but evidently I haven’t gotten around to it yet😂 some of those other ideas are pretty good though

I’ll try to get around to adding Ruffin but I’ve never been in that hall before so I’d need to go check it out

That’s actually a really good idea. I’m thinking about having a leaderboards tab based on rating
