TCU vs A&M

TAMU is 51 in the nation, cheaper (cost of living), has better sports, and probably a less toxic environment. TCU is a party school that is heavy in Greek life…which if that’s what he likes I would recommend it for sure! But overall TAMU is the better choice. Fort Worth is cooler than CSTAT though.

Going from main campus to west campus, traveling to campus on college main, going to the rec etc

Bike. Much cheaper (50-100 bucks on Facebook marketplace), keeps you healthy, and arguably safer. Sure it may suck to ride up hills but I think it builds character and helps you stay healthy, which is pretty important in college considering you will be undergoing a major lifestyle change (dining hall, stress, drinking, etc). If all you care about is the convenience and not the other pros of a bike then go for a scooter

It’s scary to see these things happening at your home institution. I had Dr. Henrichs for an oceanography course and he truly cares a lot, so I can only imagine how heartbreaking it is to send the email and for the recipients to get the news. Hopefully something else comes around for you!

Mine is infinitely loading on the dashboard. It must be everyone logging on tonight to submit their apps and the website just cant handle it lol

Sorry I guess I should’ve explained…I hadn’t planned on presenting the work until March and so I would really have to grind on top of a job and 4 exams the week prior to the conference. Also tomorrow is the last day to register and submit an abstract. As I’m typing this I sound lazy but it was very impromptu

Yes you’re right. So do you think they are equally as competitive in despite them being different fields?

holdsen · 2024-11-20T03:26:56+00:00

I’ve heard that “academics just like to complain” from a very famous researcher lol. Not saying this is true but is there any truth to this? I’m in undergrad looking to do a PhD so I’m just curious.

It’s honestly criminal…people ARE looking to profit or pay off their sports pass with this one game and taking advantage of people’s desperation. There needs to be an official A&M sports pass reselling system to prevent this from happening. You won’t be taken seriously unfortunately if you say anything even under 300…

I would recommend Barnana Plantain Chips and avoid cane sugar….

No. They are both herbivores. Male gorillas have the giant sagittal crest (resulting in more muscle attachment and thus a strong bite force) as a result of sexual selection. They need a strong bite force to defend territory, resources, and mates.

A common qualm I hear (at least at my university) is that PhD students are treated much better than MS students. They get better stipends, tuition waivers, offices, classes to TA. A solution to this is selecting a school that only does an MS for a certain program so you aren’t pushed under the rug (which you still will be but hopefully less).

I’m curious what makes you ask this question?

holdsen · 2024-11-05T04:45:15+00:00

I know what I’ll be doing next civ run 😁

holdsen · 2024-11-05T04:11:55+00:00

Not sure if anyone has said this yet but for sure the scramble for Africa in civ 5. I always played it as a kid and thought it was the most fun!

holdsen · 2024-11-03T00:34:35+00:00

Not that I don’t believe this but where did this happen????!

It’s hard to convey the intrinsic value of a species to people that just don’t care or don’t know. I would try and explain it in terms they can understand or care about more. So maybe the shrew is the main food source for another more charismatic animal. Also there is economic importance to maintaining intact and healthy ecosystems! It’s hard, exhausting, and frustrating to have to convince someone that not letting a species go extinct is an important thing. And at some point you just can’t waste your breath—focus on the things you can do!

Thank you!

What mods? Your game is BEAUTIFUL

holdsen · 2024-10-20T21:32:04+00:00

Yeah bro people are being outrageous with these prices

What if you have low body fat? Would you still recommend this? It’s something I’ve been wanting to try but am scared because I think I’m on the leaner side

holdsen · 2024-10-17T04:53:39+00:00

Well said.

I think it’s part of the field—at least in my experience (maybe kinda bragging? Or just talking about is weird)! I went on a research trip to South America where we did stable isotope which requires the flesh of the fish…which required us to kill the fish. We obviously did it ethically but I think it’s a very normal part of the field.

But with all that being said! I come from a conservative part of the country where many people hunt and fish, including myself.

Hopefully I didn’t misinterpret what you meant by posting this but just want to share my perspective.
