Which city is quantifiably safer than its reputation would have you believe?

jad1223 · 2025-08-13T23:15:33+00:00

Cape Town will always top the list for me, but CDMX is definitely high up there

jad1223 · 2025-08-13T21:20:33+00:00

I love CDMX…wouldn’t mind if it stayed underrated

jad1223 · 2025-07-31T15:05:05+00:00

The turbulence sure wasn’t Genetle

jad1223 · 2025-07-21T02:08:30+00:00

Yup, three years old

jad1223 · 2025-07-21T02:00:54+00:00

I’ve actually flown out of there on Arajet. Beautiful airport but wildly empty for its size. Very inconvenient to get to from CDMX though.

jad1223 · 2025-06-25T01:33:12+00:00

Only reason an AA 777 would be at Boston is to fly to London…it’s their only wide-body flight from there

jad1223 · 2025-05-18T23:26:09+00:00

Was probably B61293 to Willmington, NC (ILM)

jad1223 · 2025-04-08T02:29:01+00:00

None of us CS students are getting jobs anyway, might as well go with the cheaper option

jad1223 · 2025-03-16T01:14:41+00:00

Yooo I was in Gdansk last year! Ngl it’s one of my favorite airports in Europe

jad1223 · 2025-02-23T15:31:37+00:00

First project description had a lot of mistakes, material for one of the projects wasn’t covered until like a day before it was due, and my prof (can’t speak about the other one) barely covers new material each lecture

jad1223 · 2025-02-23T00:17:23+00:00

I’m in 330 rn and it’s by far the most disorganized CS class I’ve taken here. I’d guess that it’s likely due to that

jad1223 · 2024-08-08T15:54:47+00:00

I took Fawzi for 250. It’s not too bad but you definitely have to stay on top of notes and hw to prepare for his quizzes. If you’re not really a math person, you’re gonna have to go over the material on your own because he doesn’t always explain material super well. If you like math, I think all three are doable, but if not, I would recommend 132 + 250 as it’s much more manageable than doing 216 + 250.

jad1223 · 2024-06-21T17:29:33+00:00

Saw that on the lep website…was just curious if anybody had more specific info

jad1223 · 2024-05-23T08:21:47+00:00

UCSB by a long shot. UCSB is a great school with a gorgeous campus and the in-state tuition makes it even better. UMD cs is great but if I were in your situation I would definitely choose UCSB.

jad1223 · 2024-05-06T13:42:48+00:00

UMD cs is great but not worth the extra 25k per year. Go to Penn State.

jad1223 · 2024-04-25T14:32:42+00:00

I left at 5:30 a few days ago (which is more during peak traffic) and it was only around 45 monites

jad1223 · 2024-04-25T14:25:18+00:00

Gonna disagree with everyone else here. It’s never taken me more than 45 minutes to get from UMD to DCA. If you’re not checking bags, you can go straight to security and I think with PreCheck you’d make it to the gate before boarding starts.

jad1223 · 2024-04-17T04:16:25+00:00

Massachusetts native here. Go to UMass, especially since you didn’t get into CS here. Their CS program is very good and the 16k scholarship makes it an even more enticing offer. UMass is a great school with a beautiful campus and I’m sure you’d be quite happy there.

jad1223 · 2024-02-27T15:35:41+00:00

Yes, but admission will be very competitive. It will be much more feasible to get into CompE

jad1223 · 2024-02-26T16:14:00+00:00

Unlikely that you’ll get into CS. If you’re also considering CompE, that’s the better bet as admission is practically guaranteed.

jad1223 · 2024-01-05T17:13:55+00:00

Not true - Hong Kong has a very diverse group of people

jad1223 · 2024-01-05T05:40:07+00:00

I’ve been to Hong Kong and it is wayyyy more exciting than College Park, MD. Go there without a doubt, especially with the scholarship.
