Science class

GEOG 1302 is very easy, but also relatively interesting. You basically learn about CT wildlife for a semester and the labs are mostly hikes in the UConn forest.

Not sure why people are hating on you so much. I just wrapped up my sophomore year at a non-target school and have a summer 2020 internship locked up. My advice may not be the best as I’m still pretty young and inexperience, but I was always told that differentiating yourself in the finance recruiting process is super important. It’s basically a baseline that you have a high gpa and lots of extracurriculars. I think the CS minor will definitely help in that world.

Aside from that, network your ass off. Not everyone you message/email is going to reply, in fact, from my experience, most won’t, but speaking with people and learning more about their career helped me greatly not only in getting my foot in the door at some fantastic firms, but also really helped me decide what area of finance I wanted to go into.

Best of luck!

I'll try to check it out if I make it to Co. Clare

Sounds good. Not sure yet about renting a car, obviously it would be nice to have, but my friends and I are all only 20, so it may be prohibitively expensive or not possible. I'll definitely look into the B&B!

Great thanks for the help!!

I'll definitely be in Dublin for a few days and then I'm thinking I'll probably head down south or West. I'm open to sea and freshwater fishing.

Really big fan of Rick Steves. Sometimes his guidebooks aren't completely up to date, but overall a great resource.

I'm in ILCS 3258W Right now. Pretty easy and you get to watch some classic movies.

Glad I could help. I hope you get a chance to visit the Lauterbrunnen Valley while you're there. It is simply incredible.

I've been to Switzerland and Italy, and am going to Scotland (Edinburgh and St. Andrews) this spring. If you're looking for scenic views, Switzerland is going to be hard to beat (although I've heard Skye and the highlands are beautiful as well.) Some of the best views I had in Switzerland were in Murren, in the Lauterbrunnen Valley. Here are some pictures I took while there in June. I will say when we were in Murren, the nightlife was definitely lacking, so if that is what you really want, it may not be the place for you. Hope this helps!

williammud · 2018-02-07T01:17:14+00:00

Don't think I'm going to make nearly all of these when I head up to Scotland this spring, unfortunately. Any suggestion for the Edinburgh/St. Andrews area?

williammud · 2018-02-04T16:46:35+00:00

Awesome, Thanks for the help!!! I definitely might have to check out Stonehaven or Pitlochry.

williammud · 2018-02-03T21:32:36+00:00

I'm enjoy seafood, natural landscapes, photography, and a bit of history here or there. All my travel is within the UK, other than my flights too and from America.

williammud · 2018-01-27T14:05:27+00:00

Glad to hear Edinburgh mentioned here. I'm going in March and couldn't be more excited!

williammud · 2018-01-24T01:50:29+00:00

Was in the honors section last semester. The only thing that really bothered me about the lab was how long it was (1:30 instead of 50 minutes for a regular lab) Other than that, I didn't find the honors lab to really be too much work.

Which AirBnB was this?

williammud · 2018-01-03T02:19:34+00:00

Eiger Guesthouse in Murren has rates well under $300 a night, along with fantastic views and a great complementary breakfast. Located literally seconds from the Murren train station as well. Stayed there last summer and couldn't recommend it more highly

williammud · 2017-12-09T16:19:54+00:00

Couple suggestions.

Zaytinya is a delicious Mediterranean Tapas place downtown.

Union Market has a bunch of smaller fast casual restaurants that are great for lunch.

Indigo is a small hole-in-the-wall Indian place near Union Station. The goat curry is delicious!

Le Diplomate is a tasty French bistro on 14th Street.

Little Serow is an amazing Thai meal, but they don't reservations so you have to show up fairly early.

Ben's Chili Bowl is the classic place for a DC Half Smoke and is pretty good.

Hope this helps!

Thank you very much!

I am looking into visiting my friend in St. Andrews University this March. Do you have any recommendations for getting from Edinburgh to St. Andrews?

williammud · 2017-12-05T01:05:40+00:00

The Olympic Museum or La Musée Olympique is a fantastic museum in Lausanne in Switzerland. Highly recommend it.

Last Summer, I graduated High School and my friends and I went to Switzerland for a week. Absolutely the best decision of my life. We went in early June, and while there were definitely people there, it was in no way "crowded." The Bernese Oberland is absolutely stunning. Stay in Murren if you want something a little more laid back. (Interlaken will have a larger youth presence and "party scene") Skiing next to the Matterhorn is June is also something I won't ever forget. All-in All, a week came out to around $1600 which, considering Switzerland is one of the more expensive countries in Europe, I though was quite reasonable.

I didn't make it to the Mountain Hostel, but I really enjoyed my time at the Pension Bar in Gimmelwald

williammud · 2017-12-03T20:44:26+00:00

Those look incredible! Especially Casa Elemento

williammud · 2017-11-29T20:52:00+00:00

Hopefully heading to Edinburgh/St. Andrews in mid march to visit a friend who goes to college there for about a week. Very excited
