indeed. RMP still does offer you the ability to know what the prof is like before you walk into the room. Sometimes the comments people leave help - ie, when someone says "the powerpoints are your best study aid" or "he doesn't write his notes anywhere so don't skip unless you have someone's notes"In a lot of cases, you don't really have a choice in professor. Many of the chemistry/engineering courses I took were only offered once a year, and whomever taught it was who we were stuck with. Also, sometimes only one section of a course will fit your schedule, in which case you have no choice in professor. It's nice when you can choose, but it's not always a guarantee.
make friends get stoned a few times a week with all the stoner kids then go drinking
His profile says that he is only 15. His advice probably comes from watching Van Wilder or some such...I seriously hope you're joking. If not, you're the biggest douchenozzle I have ever seen.

- DEFININTLEY - Calculus will start off easy. But it gets hard. Really hard. Be prepared for this. Physics and Chemistry can be exceptionally difficult courses, but depends mainly on how hard the profs want to make it. Vector Mechanics is another engineering course to be worried about.

This reminds me of something...Don't take anyone else's "advice". I mean, if someone says "You don't need to go to class" or "This class is incredibly easy", don't listen. There are people in every class that think it's "easy". Case in point: freshman year, I had a friend who told me that Math 307 (differential equations) was "easy". He was a bit of a slacker, so I figured I'd do fine. Not the case. As it turns out, this person was really, really good at math, but not much else. I struggled through the course (the professor was awful, which didn't help) and never listened to my friend again
. Just go into each course with the mentality that it will be a very difficult class. Diligence never hurts, but complacency certainly can.
Yeah, you'd be a person with a jobsigh....i wonder what i will become if i choose engineering instead of biochem...i guess i will become a very different person....
That's because engineering is TeH wIn!!!1Wow, more engineering students here than I thought.
So do any of you guys have an opinion on bringing stereos & such. Because I have two receivers, 3 pairs of speakers, and 2 different CD players (not including my laptop). And I really don't know whether or not I want to have either the nicest stereo in school, or something that sounds like I'd constantly wish for what I have in home.
And I guess I should say, that I'm still in the market for a proper amp, becuase I got this old Onkyo receiver for free today.
Get something that fits in the room with the space you're given. Don't be the jackass next door who has the 500w sound system cranked up late night. High power systems are wonderful but you'll never get to truly enjoy what they're capable of unless you want to piss off the neighborsSo do any of you guys have an opinion on bringing stereos & such.

I just bought a nice set of speakers for my PC. I had tons of MP3s and CDs and just used that. Any excess equipment is just something more that some guy can steal.So do any of you guys have an opinion on bringing stereos & such.

We had one on our floor sophomore year. I strongly disliked his discourteous behavior, but we eventually became best friendsYes, the "speaker-blaster guy" is always annoying.
Who doesnt love engineering?Glad to see you're taking Engineering courses Sage, I'm going into second year Mechanical Engineering, so I can offer some academic advice.
At least Ive got a head start.- Calculus will start off easy. But it gets hard. Really hard. Be prepared for this.
Who doesn’t love engineering?Errm…
this already shows that EVERYONE loves engineering
