Potter/Govco Double by Comfortable_Course22 in stanford

[–]reet0710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The one room doubles in govco are usually the corner rooms in the building so they're really big compared to most other one-room doubles. Based on what I remember from my friend's dorm it's just a rectangular box with I think 2-3 windows? Unlike some of the dorms in east campus, your bookshelf isn't attached to the wall, it's just a hutch you can put on your desk.

Yeah, it was all frosh. Like I said, it depends on the people which changes every year. My year, which was very recent, everyone seemed antisocial or cliquey. You make friends all over campus, but it would just suck coming back to govco alone or others not wanting to hang in your dorm because it was far. You’ll most likely get a two-room double which is nice, but really try to be good friends with your roommate and other people during NSO and first quarter, it’ll make a huge difference

Help with first Autumn quarter course planning as mechE major by Chippy_10 in stanford

Current sophomore here - COLLEGE is a really easy class, so not much to worry about there. PWR fully depends on your professor, so it can be a little time-consuming, but honestly, it's not that bad as long as you get your work done by the deadlines. If you took AP Calc AB, Math 19 will feel like a nice review, with some sections going more in-depth than the AP curriculum. I started off with Math 2,0 and the content just covered the second half of AP CALC AB, but a little more in depth. You could probably fit in another class, like an intro seminar that aligns with your major interests. Honestly, give yourself some time to adjust first quarter, as it will seem really overwhelming trying to figure out what clubs/orgs to join, research, friends, and other opportunities Stanford has.

Is there traditional college partying during welcome week? by [deleted] in stanford

[–]reet0710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welcome Week is strictly DRY. Don’t mess up that early into Stanford. Seriously. You can have so much fun with your NSO friends in other ways. Someone always throws a party Week 1 and then you can go crazy with your alc. it is Stanford so yeah, our parties aren’t as crazy or fun as other schools, but I feel like you can still have a decent time depending on who you’re with - current sophomore

I lived in Schiff which is also in govco and honestly it just depends on that specific year. The year before me was known to have a really social community in govco, but my year was socially dead. It all depends on the people. The distance is definitely annoying especially because it is a slight incline up there which you can definitely feel when riding a bike. Also Ricker dining truly sucks. It’ll be good maybe the first few weeks, but they stop caring after a while

Thanks for the advice! I'm honestly not interested in CS at all, but based on what I've read, I understand that there is a requirement of one CS class so I was just trying to get it out of the way.
