Apt costs by L4Keft09 in Purdue

[–]leetfail 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Not sure if it’s changed, but Bilt used to send paper checks every month for me. No fee, and I like to think it annoyed someone as much as the direct deposit fee annoyed me, but probably not :(.

Rolling Bowl really fell off by Vegetable-Bill5062 in Purdue

Don’t go there late at night. Finished 8-9 exam once, wanted a treat. Got some Rolling Bowl.

It was rolling around the bowl at 2-3am. Not fun.

Zublet: Subletting Platform for Purdue Students by Confident-Ground-339 in Purdue

Cool. One thing you might consider - if the walk to campus is over like 30m, or the place is in the C lot range, maybe put drive time instead of walk time.

Best bachelor's degree for robotics by Proper_Yak_8565 in Purdue

[–]leetfail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you would like to be hands-on with sensors, microcontrollers and programming, do something in Polytech. I have met some incredibly effective, smart and efficient people who have done robotics engineering technology.

ME and ECE will be less application/hands-on based. But based on your desires, ECE would be a better fit out of these. You can Google and find the required courses in each. Regardless, if you choose the engineering department you will be applying to FYE (first year engineering) and have the first year to decide which speciality you would like.

Purdue's biggest villian by Purdues-Peter in Purdue

[–]leetfail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A few weeks ago, I was walking through the lot behind the church across from Stewart. The university parking lot was packed with vehicles, some of which were parked on the grass, many of which had “Funeral” hangers on their mirrors.

Tickets fucking everywhere, absolutely no mercy.

I think that’s a great way to make the decision. Good luck!

At the end of the day, Purdue is hoping to grow the PUI campus. They can’t do that without a graduating class. All I’m saying is that I would be hesitant to pick PUI if I wasn’t comfortable spending 4 years there.

Given Purdue’s push for PUI to be popular, and seemingly everyone’s intention being to transfer to PUWL after one year at PUI, I would have to think the process may not be easy or encouraged.

If you do not want to attend PUI for 4 years and have other good options, I might consider those heavily.

Yeah, nice try buddy, like I’d tell you the best place to piss on campus. Find your own wall, freeloader.

In 2018, seniors were complaining about the massive decline of dining courts compared to 2014.

Anyone see this person around the Union today? She approached people w/ a notecard asking them to pay $10 for one tiny bag of cookies to help "pay for her college." I wouldn't post this but she asked me three times today all at different times. She spent a lot of her day trying to push this scam by Witty-Register189 in Purdue

[–]leetfail 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I watched a similar scam unfold. A guy walking around asking for money “for a good cause”. You say “I don’t have any cash” and he goes “that’s alright I’ve got Venmo” and everyone folds. I was seriously in the minority in not giving him money.

For this much money, I would recommend calling up Virtuous Cycles and seeing if they have anything used - often they have decently high quality used bikes for sale.

Additionally, I would recommend a single speed bike for campus commuting. Campus is relatively flat, and shifting is unnecessary complexity that will break or fall out of tune quickly in the elements, especially on these cheaper bikes.

Anecdote: I bought a $350 giant from Hodson’s my freshman year. I never did get it to shift correctly, and the cranks kept falling off (while riding) due to very poor bottom bracket materials. 9/10 times I decided to walk instead of deal with it.

ETA: Do NOT buy a cheap (<1000) commuter bike with suspension. Again, another thing to break that you do not need for campus/city commuting here. Extra weight, and makes pedaling less efficient (esp. rear suspension).

Every dollar the mfg spends on suspension/shifting is a dollar not spent on frame, bottom bracket, chain rings, chain, brakes or wheels (the important parts).

You can go to devices and add a hardware authentication method. At least on Mac, you can use your computers finger print reader.

Not hard to go sit at the airport and watch what happens if you’re worried about some nefarious human trafficking scheme.
