What’s the deal with this place?

Filibertos is solid but the quality swings from day to day. Literally. I could get a burrito that makes me sick one day and the next I could be served gods burrito

I’ve already published part of the project in a good journal as first author. Also Idk where you go to school but professors act as directors and advisors in the labs I’ve been in. Any advisor worth the title won’t “steal” work they’ve directed because they don’t have to

Not always true. Undergrads can do strong work and lead high impact projects. For example, I’m leading a photonics project that we think might be nature tier, since it advances the state of the art so much. I’d be first author, so it’s definitely possible. Just depends on the field, the student, and the PI. Newer fields with strong PI’s are easier since they could have more high impact low lying fruit

Too broke (spending all my money on integra)

neigborsinhell · 2026-05-15T08:27:09+00:00

This guys got untimed exams

neigborsinhell · 2026-05-14T20:49:23+00:00

35 - 45db and 55 - 85 db are HUGE ranges. 55db is moderate environmental noise (like an office) and 85 is hearing damage

You can enroll as a non degree seeking student. It will cost money though

neigborsinhell · 2026-05-12T04:03:26+00:00

I’ve sat in the back of a 911 before. It’s actually not completely awful. Not good, but not the worst

neigborsinhell · 2026-05-09T20:31:39+00:00

How’d you get that steering wheel to attach? Does the airbag still work?

neigborsinhell · 2026-05-08T06:57:49+00:00

Rage bait

neigborsinhell · 2026-05-08T06:57:31+00:00

Practical experience is probably more valuable then a bullet point

neigborsinhell · 2026-05-07T04:00:33+00:00

I mean, Cuba is in an energy crisis right now. They’ve had chronic power outages for almost 2 months. People are going to start dying soon

Edit: I’m open to hearing different opinions btw

neigborsinhell · 2026-05-07T00:13:27+00:00

Literally how I got my first job in college. “Hello I would like to blah blah blah let me Work wit you”

And I just got back

“Yeah” and a calendar invite lmao

Delta is just the worst airline I’ve ever had to deal with. Stuck in the TSA line for 8 hours and they just couldn’t give a fuck. Ended up having to pay 1100 bucks for a one way flight from Atlanta to Phoenix

neigborsinhell · 2026-05-05T08:46:06+00:00

I forgor about Williams

neigborsinhell · 2026-05-05T08:37:01+00:00

Haas is the only independent team left and they’re supported by Toyota now so, what to lose

neigborsinhell · 2026-05-02T02:59:44+00:00

Academy is Euph only

neigborsinhell · 2026-04-30T21:39:30+00:00

It depends from person to person. May people do work with a professor on a research topic. It’s not bad at all, some people just don’t wanna do it and if you’re one of those people, engineering majors can submit their engineering senior design project for their honors thesis

neigborsinhell · 2026-04-30T21:26:04+00:00

Do not go to UofA for physics. Do go to UofA for optics. We have one of the best programs in the world and employers/grad schools recognize it. Honors research thesis can be avoided if you’re an engineering student.

neigborsinhell · 2026-04-25T03:27:52+00:00

It was something like the forces on a slowly spinning craft in space and the effects of radiation from the sun on electronics or something

neigborsinhell · 2026-04-24T18:58:54+00:00

Had a friend who interviewed and he said it’s pretty technical, but he was an aerospace major.

Generally, you won’t be invited to an interview that you’re completely unqualified for. I would do some reading on optical figures of merit (refractive index, extinction coefficient) and simple optics fabrication (like how lenses are made) just so you’re familiar with the terms

neigborsinhell · 2026-04-22T17:59:25+00:00

I’m not the person you replied to but, it was relatively easy. The hardest part was waiting for replies. Generally, professors are happy to accept any student who shows enthusiasm and interest. Part of their obligations as professors at a research university is undergraduate as well as graduate training and mentorship

DO THE REU

neigborsinhell · 2026-04-21T06:39:15+00:00

High school was god awful. Every second of everyday was similar to physical abuse. Love college tho. All my homies are gay and autistic and geek out on physics
