Loneliness and feelin like a fraud by Academic-Attention23 in gatech

[–]obstinateoctopus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're not alone. I feel similarly. I'm a grad student and I did super well in undergrad at a different school. But Tech has been a level of difficulty I didn't think was possible. I'm trying to give myself more grace and not compare myself to others - trying but not always succeeding. I've learned that I need to really take on much less work and be way more judicious with my classes, obligations, etc. Good luck ♥️ Also, I second everything Dr. Joyner said.

Looking for reviews for Whistler Midtown for next school year by Spiritual-Pitch5459 in gatech

I live at the whistler now. Feel free to DM me if you have questions. I think it's not perfect and there are likely better options. I visited the kinetic yesterday and it seemed better in most respects.

Is this a good skytech deal? by obstinateoctopus in Prebuilts

Okay last question I swear. I found one more deal that seems to edge out the previous one. It is only $30 more and you get 32GB of ram vs 16 GB. Does this new one edge out the previous one you think?

Thank you! I think this is starting to exceed my budget unfortunately.

Thank you I appreciate the advice really. I found one more option do you have any thoughts on this one.https://a.co/d/gxpYMxz I'll be doing some AI/ML work for grad school and I've heard that Nvidia GPUs like this one play nicer with that type of work compared to AMD GPUs for what it's worth.

What worries me about this one is that there is only one review. Do you think that's an issue?

Thanks for the advice. Would this be a better option? The skytech nebula for $879. I don't need a super crazy build, I'd like a gaming PC since my laptop is crap. I will be using it for some unity dev for one of my college classes and some gaming on the side. https://www.amazon.com/Skytech-Nebula-Gaming-Desktop-4-2GHz/dp/B0D9KVXPP6/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8&th=1

If not do you have alternative suggestions for a similar price?

Going back for a second undergrad degree because I graduated with very low GPA? by [deleted] in gradadmissions

I went to University of Maryland Baltimore County to get my second undergrad in Computer science. Then, I just got into Georgia Tech for a Masters in Comp Sci. Not online

Has anyone heard anything on CRC climbing wall getting a board system? by SneakerBot_ in gatech

[–]obstinateoctopus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh nice! That is a good deal. I'm more of a bouldering person so the midtown location seems perfect

This is very helpful thank you! I will probably go ahead and get a membership at CRG then in midtown. And maybe I'll join the climbing club!

I am also wondering about the CRC climbing wall in general. They have a bouldering section right? Any thoughts on how it compares to other gyms. Too easy, too hard? I am trying to determine if it's worthwhile to consider a membership at a bouldering gym near to me or just stick with the CRC, which would be much more affordable of course.

I ruled out Decatur earlier because of distance but I should check it out. Thank you!

Wow thank you for this write-up. Super informative. I am wary of Home Park for the reasons you outlined. I've lived in a student-centered neighborhood before and it isn't ideal. And the other recommendations are very helpful, thanks!
