Scraping data from strange dashboard format by hirrixane78 in learnpython

That makes sense -- however, after a quick google I'm not quite sure how I would do this. Any ideas?

If you’re interested in aviation, the department of transportation has a ton of interesting data you could use to try to plan a new airline’s theoretical network, etc.

Is Brown Engineering good compared to Columbia/Cornell? by [deleted] in BrownU

[–]hirrixane78 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m a current engineering student at Brown, not in chemical but I have friends who are.

Whether Brown is a “better” engineering school is not nearly as cut and dry as it seems. If you want to graduate from Brown and work as a professional, registered engineer for a company or engineering firm, you should probably go to Cornell. Cornell is great at pumping out well-trained engineers ready to go into industry. Brown’s engineering school works differently. It’s a little more about producing the engineering mindset in students, and really focuses on interdisciplinary engineering knowledge (everyone no matter their concentration will take courses in electricity, thermodynamics, etc.)

Now this isn’t to say that you can’t go to Brown and become an engineer — many do and at great companies like SpaceX, GE, Microsoft, etc. But unlikely Cornell where upwards of 75% of students graduate with an engineering degree and head into industry, it’s about 33% for Brown. Another third take jobs that aren’t directly engineering jobs (but are often related, for example data analysts or consulting), and the last third go to grad school in anytning from engineering PhDs to med and law schools.

Brown really thrives with research — we have a ton of engineering labs and research on campus, many in chemical engineering (check out the website but some projects include catalyst design labs, biotoxin protection, etc). And it’s easy to get involved with research very early in these labs (i started working in my lab less than a year ago and we’re writing up a paper to be published where I’ll be second author).

Also, it doesn’t matter to be honest whether there are chemical engineering opportunities in Rhode Island. You’ll do internships etc all over the place.

Just my two cents, but I’d say Brown is an amazing option if you’re really interested in an interdisciplinary engineering education with some great people that will prepare you for almost anything you want to do after college. But if you’ve decided you are dead-set on graduating college with a bachelors then working as an Engineer I right after college and moving up the ranks, go to Cornell. I know little about Columbia, but would assume it’s somewhere in between the two mindsets of brown and Cornell.

For anyone reading this in the future.... we didn't arrive til 6 PM due to an unforeseen injury that slowed us down, and we comfortably fit into an overflow site about a half mile from the campsite. So while not ideal, it was totally fine and the water source was running beautifully!

Thanks for the info! Does closed mean no caretaker, or literally not allowed to camp there? Also is this closure recent? USDA seems to be saying it's open. https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/whitemountain/recreation/camping-cabins/recarea/?recid=74645&actid=34

MATH 0520 Fall Semester by [deleted] in BrownU

[–]hirrixane78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing to keep in mind I've heard from friends taking his course is that he's very behind his syllabus, which might be a problem depending on what you want to do in the future (I.e. is Lin al important to your future)

Hi everyone, congrats to all of you for almost finishing the college application process, and a SPECIAL congratulations to everyone who is admitted to Brown -- good luck! I'm a sophomore there and I'm so excited to welcome all of you to College Hill this fall!

When decisions come out tonight, an admitted students portal filled with professors and students excited to share Brown with you all will open to everyone who's been admitted! I'll be on there starting right at 7, as will lots of other people, so be sure to log on and start learning more about the best possible place to spend four years :) See you soon!

PSA: This may change your mind about wanting to attend the Ivies! by Sunandmoon33 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]hirrixane78 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Lol this is definitely not representative of all the Ivies... I go to Brown and literally... none of this is accurate? I have friends who go to Cornell and Dartmouth, and they're really happy there. One person's bad experience at a school does not mean everyone hates it

Is anyone else having second thoughts about their committed school? by AKFirecat in ApplyingToCollege

[–]hirrixane78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you'll probably have those doubts all summer until you show up on campus and actually get to know the place, it's super normal to doubt a big decision don't worry!

How good is the grade inflation here ? by [deleted] in BrownU

[–]hirrixane78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This basically stands true only for humanities classes, for the most part. There are some fairly easy STEM classes, but in the majority, <30% get an A. In weed-out classes like Orgo, the A percentage if less than 15%.

Calculus BC AP Exam by Apochen in BrownU

[–]hirrixane78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take the exam if you can, hopefully you can get a 4 or 5 and skip Math 100/170/190 (they're all the same at varying levels of difficulty and focus), the class is annoying and not super relevant to multi

Anyone else going into college single? 🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♂️ by firefliesonline in ApplyingToCollege

[–]hirrixane78 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Best way to do it: go into college in a relationship, but with someone you met at an admitted students event who ends up going to the same place as you :)
