Purdue University (2024-2025)

[eager kelp]

and see what overlaps?

just CTRL f on both essentially?

and go down the list

[tulip harbor]

Dawg I don’t know

[eager kelp]

fair

😭

I'll figure it out

[karmic parcel]

its actually quite great, and the electives you can take help supplement it

[pliant garnet]

wait this? https://catalog.purdue.edu/preview_program.php?catoid=15&poid=25020

[karmic parcel]

and an ai minor

u can get quite alot of stuff

in tanget to the compE electives

you can already have

some of these classes

have things that can help

[pliant garnet]

ok the ai minor is not bad

the concentration is rly rly bad

wait yeah the ai minor is act p cool

but unfortunately any minors or certificates kinda mean nothing for me 😔

[gloomy stag]

does anyone know how to actually request a roommate?

maybe i have dementia but I don't remember it asking me when applied for housing

I wasn't worried at the time because didn't know anyone who's going, but now my friend got in through waitlist and we're trying to room together

[thick sphinx]

i remember seeing the option to do it at the very end of your housing application

like after your signature and stuff

@gloomy stag just checked; you can still do it

go to the apply for housing tab at the top, you can hit continue and it should be there on the bottom of the page

[gloomy stag]

found it, thanks!

[quick linden]

don’t do it. either purdue doesn’t do anything and you feel stupid, or they kick him out and it’s on your conscience forever

uh it’s kinda doable. i was on track to graduate with those 3 majors in 4 years but i decided to drop econ this sem and just take more cs classes instead (i still have an econ minor and a math major)

but it would make you hate academics fs

[grim sonnet]

is double/triple major purely out of interest or are there any benefits of it too?

like I love math as much as cs so I was wondering

[vocal solar]

im not sure how much career related benefits there would be (if any)

oh, multiple majors?

it depends then, I'd guess. certain majors may prime you better for certain kinds of jobs

[vocal solar]

it might not be too many extra classes to have a math minor, or you could choose to full on double major

[grim sonnet]

ohhh

but the people who do it

its mostly out of interest right?

[vocal solar]

sure, or maybe simply the fact that it's just a few additional classes to get the minor.

(looks like it's only one extra class for the minor, actually)

[vocal solar]

but yeah, if it's something you're interested in, go for it! you won't always have the opportunity to freely explore and study different fields/classes as you have right now.

might as well have some fun with it

a college education can do a lot more than just ready you for a job.

[tall gazelle]

idk maybe econ later because i was planning on trying to transfer in two years and im worried some credits just might not transfer

[uncut wing]

yeah

[mystic agate]

Cow

[tulip harbor]

ong

[karmic parcel]

As a hater, it would not be on my

[worldly tinsel]

So I got accepted from the WL

how long do I have to accept?

[thick sphinx]

3 weeks; you'll get a mail about your exact deadline dates in a day or two

and congrats!

[worldly tinsel]

oh and I noticed the housing deadline ended yesterday. Is it still possible to get on campus housing

[worldly tinsel]

thanks

[thick sphinx]

yes! i got my deadline extended till may 27th with guaranteed housing

[worldly tinsel]

great should I contact them for the extension or does it automatically apply to everyone

[vocal solar]

it should automatically apply

you should get an email about it soon

[grim sonnet]

ohhh...but are there any extra costs for double majoring?

or is it simply a change in classes?

[grim sonnet]

yeah true

[karmic parcel]

no

unless u take an extra semester

then more costs on u

[grim sonnet]

ic...thx a lot

[fringe gyro]

should I take calc II at community college over the summer in 8 weeks or just do it normally at purdue

[pliant garnet]

yes yes yes yes yes

take it from cc

calc 2 is horrible here, def do anything u can to avoid it

[sand aurora]

community college

[vapid pelican]

Do it normally at Purdue and live satisfied knowing you didn’t take the easy way out

[sinful viper]

absolutely do not do that

[open cosmos]

bros gaslighting so hard

take it at cc

calc at this college is pretty difficult and im saying this as someone who did incredibly well in both calcs

it just ain't worth allat effort lol

[vapid pelican]

I did it 💪 (Listen to them lol I’m joking)

I regret not signing up for dual credit in high school, there was no real reason not to

[karmic parcel]

Don't do that

[vapid pelican]

Although honestly I really appreciate the way they did calc 1/2 here

It’s actually rigorous and not whatever bs they did at my high school

[craggy bolt]

How about calc 3, Linear algebra and Diff equations?

[vapid pelican]

Calc 3, from what I have heard, is a step down in ridiculousness from calc 2

[sand aurora]

The first half of calc 3 is better than calc 2

The second half is pretty bad

Lin alg I’ve heard is harder than calc 3

And then diff eq is an easier math class

[craggy bolt]

Is anyone planning to/took credit for calc 3 and diff eq from dual enrollment? I was planning on just taking credit for calc 1 and 2 .
I am not sure if I should take calc 3 and diff eq again.

[pliant garnet]

For purdue

I’d recommend just taking the credit and run

If possible, get as much credit as u can

[open cosmos]

they r pretty bad

i have an A+ in both calc 1 and calc 2 and holy shit was it sorta busy work

ngl

calc 3 is worse than calc 2 by a decent margin ( especially the second exam)

diffeq is i've heard in comparison free

lin alg is js bad

[craggy bolt]

You retook?

[open cosmos]

no

i had no credit

if i did i would've run with it

lol

im an intl

[marble robin]

Instead of doing those I’m doing biostatistics 😳

[pliant garnet]

hallo tea!

[eager kelp]

@pliant garnet What time did your LC decision come out last year? i'm just waiting so im curious if there was a specific time that it released

[pliant garnet]

it was like beginning of June

[eager kelp]

They said the second week of mayyyy

but i was moreso curious about the time

[pliant garnet]

email them!

[eager kelp]

Who should i email?

[pliant garnet]

the lc should have an email address

[eager kelp]

True

[pliant garnet]

just ask em when they plan on sending emails

[eager kelp]

Should i just be like

when do y'all plan on sending out decision notices/

or when can we expect a decisioin?

[pliant garnet]

either one’s fine lol

it’s usually a student in charge of emails, so they don’t rly care

[eager kelp]

ah okay

[boreal rose]

how do i uncommit ?

cause of waitlist

[worldly tinsel]

So I paid the deposit what do I do now

[karmic parcel]

Ai generated advisor meetings

[worldly tinsel]

what

[karmic parcel]

Okay, the advisor meetings are not AI. Generated but a lot of times you really feel that as if they are

Freshman advisors are so interesting

[eager kelp]

Why 💀

[karmic parcel]

I've had two freshman advisors

The first one was completely useless

The second one is goated

Some people's advisors literally give them the wrong information

But don't trust your advisors one hundred percent, remember to plan it out yourself and then go for their approval

[balmy ginkgo]

you got off gatech waitlist for cs?

when

[eager kelp]

Okay bet

I have Angie as my advisor

And I already don’t trust her

She didn’t open advisor meetings until the last minute

[boreal rose]

tuesday

[balmy ginkgo]

damn

[tawdry notch]

taco tuesday

[fringe gyro]

does purdue send out acceptance package for international students? Or other universities in general? I havent received any of them 😦

[karmic parcel]

Nope

[sand aurora]

I agree with this. Do not fully bank on the advice of your advisors. Most of them do not have degrees that are related to what you are trying to do. Look to reddit and other students, upperclassmen, alumni, and friends for advice.

I literally got this advice from an alum

[sand aurora]

fr. Mine made me take ma162 when I could have totally taken ma166. Would have tanked my gpa slightly less

and the quizzes were online vs in person

[carmine cove]

Hey, y'all. I'm an OOS admit coming into the pharmacy program; looking to make some friends before I move in for my freshman year :D

[karmic parcel]

have fun

[craggy bolt]

How hard is it to get admitted to learning communities if you apply late?

[tulip harbor]

Well it depends on the LC

[craggy bolt]

Data mining

[nova copper]

The LC decision is available, right?

[marble wagon]

Yea

[eager kelp]

Yes yoy should’ve gotten an email saying here’s a link to check

[vocal solar]

so i just accepted my offer

(from the waitlist)

am I supposed to get a notification or something regarding it?

I got an email this morning about how I had "until midnight today to accept my offer"

but I've already accepted it and paid my deposit (last night)

so is it just, like, a processing delay

[eager kelp]

Yup

Tmrw you should get a noti to check your new student checklist

Oe if yoy already got a Purdue email you can go to my Purdue

[vocal solar]

oh, so if i did it last night, ill get it tomorrow?

[eager kelp]

Yeah probably

Did you get a Purdue email yet?

There should be steps to set one up

[vocal solar]

not yet

or well, yeah, once I got in

[eager kelp]

Yeah

[vocal solar]

I've already set up my mypurdue account and everything

[eager kelp]

Ah fire

The checklist should be on there then

[vocal solar]

i got in a few weeks ago

[eager kelp]

If not wait till tmrw

Ah

[vocal solar]

I accepted my offer via the checklist

[eager kelp]

Ah

Then what are you trying to do

[vocal solar]

it's just that this morning I got another emailing telling me to accept

although I've already accepted

did you get another email right after accepting your offer?

[eager kelp]

Yeah I think so

I’m not really sure tbh it was a couple months ago

[vocal solar]

how soon? I accepted last night, still haven't gotten anything

[eager kelp]

An email stating that you accepted your acceptance?

[vocal solar]

yeah

is there any one of those? or nah

it does say "accepted your offer" in the new student checklist

so maybe im just being paranoid

[eager kelp]

Yeha you’re good then

[vocal solar]

thanks

[eager kelp]

Yeah of course

[eager kelp]

I think I got an email similar a few days after

[vocal solar]

ah so not immediately after?

that makes sense, thanks

[eager kelp]

But don’t trip out if you get an email stating “there has been a status update to your portal”

[vocal solar]

oh yeah ok

[eager kelp]

It’s just them telling you you accepted officially I got that like 2 weeks after tho

Cause I was tripping tf out

Like tf

[vocal solar]

how long did it take till you could access the housing app?

[eager kelp]

24 hours

[open cosmos]

my advisor is so fucking dumb

but she is a sweetheart

i can't complain

she says yes to wtv i wanna do without any further complaints

some of it being like taking 20+ credits

but anyways don't listen to your advisors

or rather take it with pinch of salt

[tulip harbor]

advisors are incompetent but usually nice

[sinful viper]

^^

[tulip harbor]

you can usually get them to let u do what u want with good enough reasoning

[sinful viper]

they dont always stop you from taking insane schedules

i wish my advisor pushed me harder to not do my spring 25 schedule

[tulip harbor]

why

[sinful viper]

my mental health was terrible, i was not doing well

i shouldnt have taken that schedule

[tulip harbor]

thats me frfr but its not credit related

my advisor let me do my 21 credit semester with minimal persuasion

[sinful viper]

i got through and its chill but

[tulip harbor]

it was those extra classes that got me into semester honors

no joke

[sinful viper]

i think if i hadnt taken ecology then i couldve gotten all A's

i was just spread a little too thin

idk

[tulip harbor]

girl

GIRL

i barely got a 3.5

half my grades were Bs

did not cook vro

i got a fucking B in the 'meche easy class'

🔫

[sinful viper]

you dont know what I got

im saying if I was taking one less class I couldve had the time to spend on my other classes to get better grades

[karmic parcel]

That will not be the last

[tulip harbor]

I am aware but I really need my grade to go up

[tulip harbor]

Oh mbmb I misunderstood

[vocal solar]

after submitting the housing app, where do I select a meal plan?

[eager kelp]

You’re auto selected with 14, In July you can change it to your preference

[vocal solar]

how does finding a roommate work?

[marble wagon]

U can find ppl on insta, discord, WhatsApp etc or fill out the roommate questionnaire for random roommate. After u fill that out it also shows a list of ppl with who gave similar answers so u can contact them if u want

[vocal solar]

by the way, where is that list of people?

[tulip harbor]

wdym?

[vocal solar]

like, how do i find the roommate selection thing?

[tulip harbor]

idk

[tulip harbor]

should be on the housing portal

[vocal solar]

i see, have you seen it?

[tulip harbor]

i havent seen it in 6 months

[vocal solar]

your housing portal or the roommate thing?

I submitted housing last week, still nothing on there about roommates

[tulip harbor]

bro im class of '28

[vocal solar]

oh lmfao

[sinful viper]

submitting housing this late, i dont think there is even access to the roommate and stuff now. thats usually wanted by the priority deadline which is late april iirc

[vocal solar]

ahh i see

waitlist moment 😭

[frail estuary]

I joined a roommate group and all, but idk where I’m gonna live either and I did it by the deadline 😭

I got into data mine LC so I think it’s either hillenbrand or mccutch but idek

I also don’t know where I can see like the groups I’m in for roommate, I’m just assuming we’re together since I joined his group? If there is a place I can see it someone please help lol

[sinful viper]

Room assignments come out in like July. Just be patient.

[sinful viper]

Most likely hilly, mccutch isnt as common for datamine but it does happen

[sinful viper]

Joining a roommate group doesnt guarantee getting it. If youre in DM and theyre not yall cant room together anyways, but even if they are in DM theres never a guarantee.

[frail estuary]

So I’m just praying they put me with the person I want?

They’re also in DM

Can’t even pick a roommate nowadays 💀

[sinful viper]

If yall are both in DM and you did it by the deadline you'll probably get it, but yeah its not 100% guaranteed

[frail estuary]

Well I did it by April 15th

He was waitlisted

And then got in and did it

But we both got acceptance email on same day so

[vocal solar]

oh huh, when was the data mine application due?

[frail estuary]

I think two different dates, April 15th and May 15th

[vocal solar]

did you get in for the general cohort?

[frail estuary]

Yer

[vocal solar]

im just finishing purdue 101, im not like, super late am i

[eager kelp]

Yes

[vocal solar]

great 😌

[eager kelp]

You got this

it's fine

[vocal solar]

thanks!

[pliant garnet]

Hell yeah, hilly is great, mcut is fine

I got overloaded to mcut in data mine, but mcut isn’t bad. The rooms are generic and fine. The hallways are sad and amenity-less, but it doesn’t matter. The bathrooms are newer tho so that’s rly good, but it’s a communal bathroom with the whole floor

[hollow field]

Anyone know when we find out housing assignments

[frail estuary]

Sometime in July

[craggy bolt]

Question for current students. Are you allowed to install an AC in your dorm room?

[eager kelp]

You can have fans

[pliant garnet]

not sure

some dorms do have ac

but for all dorms, the windows are un-openable

so idt you’ll be able to shove an ac in the window, but they give you two box fans

[marble wagon]

What why???

That sounds suffocating 💀

[tulip harbor]

suicide

[tulip harbor]

i have lived in 2 dorms with ac. people usually just buy fans

[marble wagon]

oh 😔
We just have bars on the windows here (not for suicide purposes)

[tulip harbor]

oh

[tulip harbor]

well some windows are openable but not completely

[marble wagon]

🤞for a window that can open even a lil bit

I love feeling that fresh air in the morning.

[pliant garnet]

most windows should open slightly I think

[sand aurora]

Like a window unit?

If you are in tark Wiley or Owen, that isn’t a possibility given the type of windows that are installed

I’m not completely sure how the Cary or Meredith windows are built but i doubt the ra’s would let you install one even if it’s possible

[sand aurora]

Not really

You can open the window, but there is still a mesh layer

[sinful viper]

untrue

[sinful viper]

no, but i can give some really good fan recommendations since my bedroom at home used to not get hit with the ac so ik whats up.

a good chunk of the dorms have ac though so theres a good chance it wont even be an issue

https://www.costco.com/woozoo-5-speed-globe-fan.product.4000230071.html i swear up, down and sideways over this fan its so fucking good

[tulip harbor]

i didnt have a fan and i survived purdue

[eager kelp]

@pliant garnet Is the co rec 24/7?

or nah

[pliant garnet]

nah

i think it closes at like 9 or 10 midnight and opens at 6 or smth like that

[eager kelp]

noooooooo

i wanna hit LATE night gym runs

[tulip harbor]

usually it closes at midnight

and it opens at 5am i think

[sinful viper]

that sounds right, it has some odd summer hours but

[eager kelp]

Great 🙏

[vocal solar]

I scheduled my advisor appointment, and in the email I was sent by my advisor, it said ```
After you schedule an appointment, the confirmation email will contain more details about the courses you can expect to take this fall and some actions you can complete ahead of time to make our appointment more productive. This will be a long email. Please read that email carefully.

[vocal solar]

lmao nvm I got it

another thing--I took a bunch of AP and DE courses this year, but ap scores are only available in July

is this early enough to send my scores in and get credit

[sinful viper]

yeah thats totally fine! I remember having my advising appointment before my senior year APs were out. we proceded as if I passed and was getting credit for them but changes can defo be made during open registration if you ended up not actually getting credit for them

• side note, you can find out a few days early from whenever AP scores are officially released if you used your score send because you can go into the my tests page or whatever and itll have them all there

[vocal solar]

oh I see

thanks!

[eager kelp]

Is that like on the Purdue tests page or the College board tests page

[sinful viper]

purdue

like i wanna say I looked at mine 2 or 3 days early? I think?

[eager kelp]

Ah bet

[sand aurora]

If you end up in Hawkins, they have a gym in the building

[eager kelp]

Nah I’m like 99% sure I’ll be in Earhart

[sinful viper]

oh I didn't realize Hawkins had a gym too thats fun

[sand aurora]

One of my friends who lived there showed it to me

Does Windsor also have one

I feel like someone mentioned that once on this channel

[sand aurora]

Ah

[sinful viper]

yeah that was me who mentioned it

[sand aurora]

lol

[marble wagon]

@sinful viper U took first year bio lab and psy 12000 right? Which one did u think was easier? In my crf i've listed bio lab as my main and psy 1200 as my alternative but i'm wondering if i should switch it now since chm 129 has lab anyways

my advisor told me bio lab is better cuz it adds up to 16 credits vs total 17 credits with psych but does 1 extra credit rlly matter?

[sinful viper]

i took bio135 as my lab and it is so so so easy and the prof is great

i dod not take psy120 bc i took ap

do NOT take chm129 unless you have to that shit is hard

[marble wagon]

It’s mandatory 😔

[marble wagon]

Great, i’ll keep it then n psy as my alternative. I’m most likely getting credit for psych cuz of IB but my advisor wasnt sure cuz its undistributed credit

[marble wagon]

Were the exams hard or the content? I’ve already covered most of the content in hs

Do u think this course load is too much or doable? My advisor told me to consider dropping a class (ie bio lab) but i thought it looked okay
SCI 195 (global sci leadership seminar)- 1 credit
CHM 12901 (gen chem w bio focus) - 5 credits
BIOL 12100 (Biology I) - 3 credits
MGMT 2000 (Intro to accounting) - 3 credits
BIOL 135 (bio lab) - 2 credits
SCLA 101 (written communication) - 3 credits

[tulip harbor]

try to snipe a good prof for scla101. will make your life much easier

just skim through rmp

ratemyprofessor.com

[marble wagon]

Yea i selected TR With prof DJ Riesbeck

Has good reviews on boilerclasses n 5.0 on rmp

[tulip harbor]

That’s good

I had Michael Malone but he’s not doing it this semester

GOATed prof

[sinful viper]

wait what major are you again

[marble wagon]

Genetics

[sinful viper]

in college of sci?

[marble wagon]

Yea

[sinful viper]

you need to take 129 first semester holy fuck what did your advisor do to you

you’ll be behind if you don’t

[marble wagon]

I am taking it?

Chem 12901 right? Gen chem with a bio focus

[sinful viper]

also unless things have changed 121 is a 2 credit class

oh

wait

sorry i don’t have my glasses on

[marble wagon]

Lol

[sinful viper]

why mgmt out of curiosity?

otherwise very standard first year bio schedule

129 the exams were hard but if you have taken ap you’ll have a leg up

for ex this was mine

[marble wagon]

I’m interested in genetics but i’m not 100% sure if i wanna stick with it so i wanna explore accounting as a possibility also.

[sinful viper]

yeah it looks fine then

psy120 is also very easy though as an fyi

so if you don’t get into 135 this sem don’t freak out

[marble wagon]

Alright

[marble wagon]

Ohhh u took psy 235 i remember u showing this to me thats why i thought u took psy 1200

[sinful viper]

mhm i just have a psych minor though

[vocal solar]

is it still possible to provide your own roommate if I've already submitted the housing app?

[eager kelp]

Not even sure if you can still request a roomate, but you can still request a roomate after you submit your housing app

[vocal solar]

do you know where on the portal that would be?

[eager kelp]

go into the bottom right hand corner of your housing app, and go to roomate matching or something similar

Lmk if it's there

[vocal solar]

nah nothing there 😔

[eager kelp]

Hmmm

[tulip harbor]

then its too late

oop

happened to me dw

[vocal solar]

I'll js email them 🥺

[tulip harbor]

they cant do shit about it

i was assigned a rando

all you can do rn is pray

[eager kelp]

Housing comes out on the 15th gl 🙏

[sinful viper]

youll most likely be fine with a random roommate

i wouldnt worry about it

[marble wagon]

WHAT

Pls tell me u dont live there 💀

[tulip harbor]

That is my room

Well that was

I’m back home

[marble wagon]

how do u live there 💀

how do u walk around omg or find anything

[tulip harbor]

I have lost a couple things in her pile

[tulip harbor]

I’m spend typically 14 hours or more not in my room

A day

More extreme cases can be like

19 hours a day

The remaining hours in my room I spend mostly unconscious

So I just deal with it

[marble wagon]

damn

[nova copper]

Guys I received an email from HR Purdue containing a link fill in password of my outlook
Is this a phising message

[tulip harbor]

Send the message

And also what’s the email of the sender

[tulip harbor]

No email address?

Also it’s quite fishy looking

I’d pass

Delete it

[nova copper]

But this also has the possibility of prof or staff got hacked

[tulip harbor]

@nova copper just looked up. Owen Hendy Moore is a ‘29 aviation kid

He got hacked

[nova copper]

Oh okay

[tulip harbor]

Those scam emails come every now and then

Just ignore it

[nova copper]

I clicked the link but not fill out in4
Is that fine

[tulip harbor]

Should be

[sinful viper]

this is not the norm also you should’ve gone to your RA

[tulip harbor]

i didnt want to bother the RA. was my skill issue

[obsidian glacier]

she gave me 100$ for free no joke

very trust worthy

[nova copper]

What

My advisor alr said its a scam

[obsidian glacier]

it was a joke dw

thats a scam

[pliant garnet]

yeah i get like a scam every few months, tho they usually get filtered into my spam inbox

just dont mind them

[vocal solar]

lmao is this a phishing email

[pliant garnet]

yeah lmao

[sinful viper]

if you have to ask, go with your gut

[vocal solar]

yeah fair

[pliant garnet]

yall is boilertv not working 😭

[tulip harbor]

Did you use vpn

[pliant garnet]

yea

[tulip harbor]

Hm I don’t know

[sinful viper]

you need to be on pal wifi not just on campus so idt vpn would work

[serene saffron]

@pliant garnet is the weather the only bad thing at purdue?

[pliant garnet]

basically yeah

the cold sucks, the state of indiana sucks, but everything else is hella nice

[serene saffron]

what abt the campus and the stuff nearby?

[pliant garnet]

the campus is rly rly nice, i love it/

and theres plenty to do nearby in west lafayette and lafayette, the main issue its thats its annoyingly far if u dont have a car, and in the cold walking that far kinda sucks

[serene saffron]

10-20miles?

and what abt the dorms

[pliant garnet]

more like 2-5 miles

[pliant garnet]

it depends on the dorm tbh

like msouth is as good as a hotel

but then tark is horrible

but ur more likely to get a decent dorm than not

[serene saffron]

ah

[sinful viper]

if you dont mind me asking whats your gender and did you get into an LC/honors?

[kind pier]

https://tenor.com/view/purdue-purdue-pete-gif-27555010

[serene saffron]

nah, im CO'30

not sure abt the gender thing you are asking abt, but im male

and im not looking at LC/honors

[vocal solar]

im debating between a linguistics minor and a philosophy minor

any thoughts?

[sinful viper]

i think they both have your pros and imo minors should be added due to personal interest not due to you thinking theyre better for your career. which one interests you more, do you have the ability to take both?

[vocal solar]

yeah I could, but I'd rather stick with one for now

I'm leaning towards linguistics

[sinful viper]

if youre leaning towards linguistics then i would do linguistics

I personally didn't add my second minor until the end of my sophomore year. I'll be taking my first class for it this fall. Youll have plenty of time to add in down the line if thats what you want

[vocal solar]

I see

makes sense, thanks

courses are pretty overwhelming tbh

it's hard to figure out when to take what for my graduation goal

[frail estuary]

Purdue the goat for giving AP scores early 🙏

Is AP lit useless for me as a DS major?

[sinful viper]

it could potentially cover something in the university core curriculum

but im not 100% sure

https://catalog.purdue.edu/preview_program.php?catoid=9&poid=10382 does your degree have some sort of page like this? if you scroll down all the way it gives a schedule for when to take certain things (there is flexibility ofc, but its a good starting point)

also MyPurduePlan when yuo get access to that (soon if you dont already) is incredibly helpful

[vocal solar]

how long is winter break?

the schedule is kind of confusing

[sinful viper]

This year fall semester exams run from Dec 15th through Dec 20th (they might end earlier, but the last possible date for exams is Dec 20th) and then spring semester starts on Jan 12th

[vocal solar]

I see, when do we get the dates and timings for finals?

[sinful viper]

i wanna say around mid way through the semester?

if not a little earlier

[sand aurora]

Honestly, last years schedule was better where we ended by December 12th

Sure it was depressing for a week cause barely any other college students were back home but flights were definitely cheaper

This year we will have to pay the price of flying right before Christmas

[sinful viper]

i know it sucks

i dont get to go home until the 22nd

[sand aurora]

Damn

Is that when you decided to leave?

Or do you already have stuff planned till the 22nd

Honestly, I don’t mind staying on campus as long as there are a bunch of people I know

If it’s just me, then it would be depressing

That was half of thanksgiving break

I stayed on campus and then on the weekend I went to Chicago to see a friend

[frail estuary]

How easy is it to get to Chicago from Purdue? What method of transport did u take? Also for the Purdue away football games do they got like a fan bus or something like that

[sinful viper]

RAv🫠

[sand aurora]

Very easy. We have shuttle busses that go from Purdue to Chicago. Only thing is for me, it usually takes almost an entire day to go home via Chicago. It usually is the cheaper option but does take way more time so if Indy ever has good deals, I go there instead. I’m not sure if we have fan busses to away games. There might be if you are part of the Ross Ade Brigade

Amtrak and greyhound also has service from Lafayette to Chicago but they go into Chicago not the airport

[sand aurora]

Damn

They really keep you there till the end

[sinful viper]

i can leave the monday after everyone is supposed to be out and i have to come back early for training. its fine its a good gig regardless but that part in particular is sad because of how late the sem runs

[sand aurora]

True

But the ra benefits are massive

Honestly I wish I was still in university residences cause being an ra seems like a good stint

[sinful viper]

it was so mf competitive. makes sense why, theyre supposedly some of the best compensated ones in the country but like 😭 they had well over 1k applicants for i think like 85-90 spots

[sand aurora]

1k!!

I didnt realize it was that competitive

[sinful viper]

yeah fucking ridiculous

[craggy bolt]

FYE students , which chemistry class to take if you have an AP chemistry credit?

[sinful viper]

FYE takes 115 & 116 and a 4/5 in AP chem satisifes that iirc. Dont retake anything if you dont have to

[frail estuary]

As a DS major do I gotta take another science if I got credit for chem?

[pliant garnet]

idts

[frail estuary]

Nice

[pliant garnet]

im ai and i did my chem credit and didnt have to do another science req

[frail estuary]

That’s so nice

I wanna just do like

Easy electives

And my major stuff lol

[pliant garnet]

hell yeah same

[frail estuary]

How fast can I graduate if I have 35 credits going into my first year

[pliant garnet]

some electives are so much fun

[pliant garnet]

with ds, i think 3 is viable

but it depends on what specific classes youve waived

[frail estuary]

Yeah

I also wanna try and duel major in cs

So I’m gonna lock in this semester

[pliant garnet]

[frail estuary]

It’s tragic but like

I have to lol

Lowkey tho the job postings loove that “or related field” portion so im not sure if its worth the extra classes and money

[sinful viper]

really depends on what youre going in with

[vocal solar]

ive got like 56 and it'll still take me at least three it seems 🥴

[sinful viper]

number of credits doesnt really mean much bc there might issues bc of how and when stuff might be offered

oh

why is that big

[craggy bolt]

How is cs 159 for someone who is new to programming ?

[pliant garnet]

not horrible, but not easy from what ive heard

[sullen jasper]

Do any of you guys know how aspire is

[frail estuary]

Got mccutch

Was praying for hilly

Onwards

[vapid pelican]

...

[marble wagon]

Got hilly

Thought i would get earhart

[frail estuary]

Are the walks to main campus cooked in the winter

[sinful viper]

expensive but nice

[sinful viper]

they do sometimes move around LC dorms so that people don’t apply just for a specific dorm

imo hilly is nicer than earhart anyways

[marble wagon]

Yea no communal bathroom

Only downside is its a bit more expensive than what i was expecting but okay still affordable

[vapid pelican]

Sort of but you can reasonably do it

During the winter I actually liked walking from McCutcheon because it got me really aggressive in the morning. -5 degrees + windchill walk had me locked in by the time I reached my recitations

[frail estuary]

I’m fearing for the 8am English class in the middle of winter

[sinful viper]

fall sem is usually bearable

its worst here in jan/feb

so just have mater classes in spring ezpz

[fringe gyro]

is shreve a good dorm hall?

[sullen jasper]

Do yk how the rooms look

[vocal solar]

I got tark 😭

what's it like?

[sinful viper]

no

[sinful viper]

It's considered the worst mostly just due to a lack of AC. Ive heard it has really good community and the no AC makes it cheap compared to other options.

[sinful viper]

Picture a stereotypical dorm hall. Thats shreve.

[vocal solar]

I can deal with no AC tbh, are you aware of anything I should know of aside from that?

[sinful viper]

Not really? Like it has a weirdly 'intense' community. They call themselves Tark Sharks. It has a decent location, no AC, I've heard its kinda dingy but I lowkey associate that with all all-male halls bc like... men are gross

defo maybe try to talk to someone whose actually lived there thoigh

i can only give true insights on honors, windsor, and the parkers

[vocal solar]

fair enough

thanks for the help!

intense seems mildly worrying 😭

[sinful viper]

nah thats a good thing trust

it has the community of everyone keeping doors open in the hallway so you can like meet your neighbors and like its a point of pride

purdue grit or smth like that

[vocal solar]

i see

[sullen jasper]

What’s the best housing tho

[sinful viper]

best dorm is probably considered to be winifired but i have my own issues with winifred (lighting is funky as in the lights wont stay on and the water isnt great (ill have it set to cold and itll randomly get hot or vice versa)

i mean your rooms are assigned and its not like it can be changed (to an extent) so id just accept your placement and make the most of it (wherever youre at)

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1iW6eSGNMMh8FsjnJ40zAfQigLlgR9n8r?usp=sharing
this has the floorplans for a bunch of the dorms if anyone is interested

[vocal solar]

oh hey thanks

[pliant garnet]

ey nice mcut isnt bad

[pliant garnet]

oooooh congrats

[pliant garnet]

yes 😔😔😔
esp from mcut

i like walking, so i was fine, but if u dont like walking, its cooked. there is the mcut bus stop if u rly rly dont wanna be walking

[vocal solar]

do the dorms have ironing equipment and whatnot?

[eager kelp]

I got earhart lfg

[austere geode]

guys i got assigned a single room

is Cary Quadrangle good?

broooooooo 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭

[vapid pelican]

Depends on if you got AC, but overall yes

Very close to campus, actually nice architecture, also very close to Mackey

It’s one of the dorms that looks like a dorm and not soviet housing

[sinful viper]

in Cary your single is probably tiny asf and known as a cary closet but it has a good location and its pretty on the outside and if you have AC thats a plus

[sinful viper]

did you call or did it just change? in previous years housing hasnt come out until the 15th so im wondering if its just not finalized yet

[sinful viper]

every dorm ive lived in has ironing equipment in the laundry room. you may have to actually check out the iron from the front desk (this has been the case in one of the buildings ive lived in) but there is ironing boards and stuff

[vocal solar]

thanks!

[eager kelp]

It came out early lmao I wasn’t expecting it either

[vocal solar]

your housing changed? lmao

im happy im not in a repurposed triple at least 🥴

[eager kelp]

Nah it just came out early, I got a double in Earhart which is exactly what I wanted

[marble wagon]

I think almost everyone got it early this time

[sullen jasper]

Aspire got all the washing and dryers in the rooms yeah

[vocal solar]

uhh

so i haven't submitted immunization requirements

if i do that ASAP is it just fine or should i be worried

[pliant garnet]

they wont like expel u or anything, but it could def be an issue if u procrastinate too hard

[vocal solar]

i see

[pliant garnet]

shit i shud do mine too

tyty

[vocal solar]

how long would it take to process once I put it in, do you think?

i dont have a hold yet at least

[pliant garnet]

like a week at most

i just submitted one of mine rn too lol

oopsie

thx for the reminder tho 🙏

[sinful viper]

there might be issues with scheduling but you wont have a big issue rn

i had one of my vaccines not count and they didnt tell me like a week or two into the semester LOL

and i got it at cvs and it cleared within like 24h iirc

[vocal solar]

i see

thanks

[fiery goblet]

purdue take me

[vapid pelican]

Sure

[fiery goblet]

Thanks

[vocal solar]

if i get into a learning community, do I need to go?

[frail estuary]

I mean ur paying for it

[vocal solar]

wdym?

[frail estuary]

I believe there is a fee to be in a learning community

For data mine I think I’m paying like 200 bucks

[vocal solar]

right, but can I decline it?

e.g I get in, but I no longer want to be in the LC

[frail estuary]

Yeah

I believe u have the freedom to decline

U going for cs

[vocal solar]

I am, yeah.

[frail estuary]

Nice

[vocal solar]

you as well? 👀

[frail estuary]

Data science

Truth is I should’ve done cs but was afraid I wouldn’t get in lol

[vocal solar]

ds is still pretty cool

[frail estuary]

Yeah I’m happy with my major

I have the skillset rn tho for cs lol

Hoping though that the people around me will encourage me to lock in for DS as well

[vocal solar]

I don't think employers should care too much about the specific title of your degree, as long as it's somewhere in the vicinity of CS related

[frail estuary]

Yeah I agree

Purdue boasts a very strong career fair and internship placement so that’s like my goal this coming year

[sand aurora]

It wasn’t horrible but the class ain’t the greatest. If you end up beingg paired with the right people for the lab assignments, you should be pretty good. You definitely need to do some solid studying to not get screwed over by the multiple choice questions

[vocal solar]

ive got classes at 7:30 in the morning twice a week 😭

[pliant garnet]

noooooooo

which class 😔

[pliant garnet]

i wanna take advantage of that :(

[sand aurora]

Try to switch out

[severe ember]

[pliant garnet]

OH WAIT UR AI

HELL YEAH

Technically I’m doing research with purdue rn over summer

[severe ember]

2025-2026 is the year of AI majors

[pliant garnet]

WE are getting internships

[severe ember]

WE wont get made fun of by cs majors

[pliant garnet]

Oh that’s never gonna change 😔

Until WE take all of their jobs

[severe ember]

How do I change my schedule in CRF?

1. I need to change a course to a different course
2. I need to keep the course but choose a different timing / professor.
