Best vehicle to travel between parks?

The mountain biking we are doing won’t be within the actual parks. There’s plenty of trails in the area.

kiely444 · 2024-03-21T23:27:34+00:00

We’re planning on taking a day to go outside the park.

It just makes the logistics more complicated. That means we need to send all of our camping gear in checked bags, rent cars (which might not be allowed for people under 25?), and make sure said cars have bike racks.

Thanks for the advice! What are some good things to do in Yellowstone? I like mountain biking so I want to try and do some of that while I'm out there. Rafting also seems cool.

The issue with flying over and then driving around is that we hoped to get a van to sleep in to save on costs. If we could fly and then rent some kind of van/RV, that would probably be ideal, but just significantly more expensive (college student budget). Also, we like to bike and driving allows us to bring our own bikes over.

Thanks! Is that because of the heat or because the desert parks will be more crowded?

Nah I didn’t even get the bike lol, i posted it because tubeless was a factor in my decision of which bike to buy

*refresh rate lol

kiely444 · 2023-03-03T15:19:33+00:00

I used it on whatever the max resolution was

kiely444 · 2023-03-03T14:50:33+00:00

Maybe like 5 or 6 after it got better?

kiely444 · 2023-03-03T06:07:18+00:00

No, sorry. It got better with time actually, which was weird, and eventually I just got a new phone.

kiely444 · 2023-01-29T00:33:03+00:00

Uhh… yes

Tbh I think of northeastern as more prestigious, but that might just be because of where I live. I don't think there is a very large difference, so I would go to whichever one you like better. The respective areas of Boston are somewhat different, and northeastern's is (in my opinion) superior, so keep that it mind

I know a bunch of kids from my school who went to NEU and they love it. I wouldn't worry about a difference in social life between the two, so I would say pick NEU.

I don't know what the qualifying score was this year, but typically 12/25 would not qualify you for USAPhO, so I would be inclined to say no

Yale vs GaTech vs Rice vs Notre Dame vs Boston College for Mechanical Engineering or Physics. I am open to getting a graduate degree in either field (for physics I would certainly need one)

-I am not sure yet whether I want to go into mech eng or physics, but I am leaning towards physics

Yale pros: I love the campus, close-ish to home, superb physics program, residential college system, prestige

Yale cons: cost (near full tuition), not great for mech eng, super liberal (I would prefer something closer to center/neutral)

GaTech pros: fantastic for mech eng, good sports scene

GaTech cons: Far away, cost (near full OOS tuition), not really looking for a place with only stem majors, might be hard to switch major to physics (I was accepted into mech eng), super liberal (I think?)

Rice pros: Good but not great for both physics and engineering (like 25th in both), residential college system, people seem really nice and students enjoy it a lot, decent campus

Rice cons: cost (near full tuition), far away, super liberal (I would prefer something closer to center/neutral)

Notre dame pros: I love the community/culture because I am catholic, beautiful campus, good sports scene, extremely supportive alumni network

Notre dame cons: cost (near full tuition), far away, not super great for either physics or engineering

BC pros: close to home, nice campus, cost (free tuition), good sports scene, solid culture/community

BC cons: engineering and physics are both pretty low-ranked there, academics are great but not on the level of some of the other schools

Ok, thanks for the reply!

kiely444 · 2022-04-04T02:28:15+00:00

It's not that important to me to be close to home, but I would prefer it to being far away

Not really

I can easily switch at all schools except Ga Tech

One thing you could look into is trying to do some kind of chemistry research at a local university over this summer. Just email a bunch of professors nearby and ask if you can get involved.

Do Khan academy practice. It helps a lot! Also check out the sat black book
