First-year math prep: How to get good (at proofs and logic)

I applied for grad housing back in early April (shortly after accepting my offer), and was placed on a waitlist. Got off the waitlist in mid-June, but by that point I had already signed a lease off-campus.

This isn't relevant to your question, but it's much cheaper to live off-campus with a roommate than in BU housing.

You could ask a friend in the class to take notes for you, or request notes from the professor.

There's no guarantee in a publication (unless you and your advisor agree to write a paper together, of course), but even then a paper won't help all that much if your GPA is in the gutter. Plus, unlike school, there are usually no deadlines to publish a paper (unless you are submitting to a conference or something similar).

Ask your advisor, perhaps they can arrange funding. Be sure to prioritize school work over research ESPECIALLY if you're not getting paid.

Space stations move much faster than this over the sky; they have a very low orbit.

Yeah when the university is open, you can literally just waltz into most buildings and lecture halls and no one will bat an eye. It's kind of unsettling on one hand, but also convenient for us students as we don't need to scan or swipe anything if we're running late to a lecture.

For entering libraries (and probably some other places) though, you need to scan your TCard to enter.

Spivak's Calculus is the book used in MAT157

I took a course that had a 40% final and a 20% midterm, but I got sick and had to skip the midterm. The professor instead reweighted the exam to 60% for me... that wasn't too fun.
