    Schools Better CompSci education or better college experience?

    I'm definitely not giving up music. I have been playing for 6 years, and don't plan on ever stopping. However, when it comes to what I want to study, it isn't music. I do, however, have recording equipment, instruments, lyrics, and song ideas, and friends that also want to make music. It's more...

    Schools Better CompSci education or better college experience?

    Well IU doesn't actually have an engineering school. Awhile back, I was considering engineering, but I realized it isn't really my type of thing. I've never been much of a builder or tinkerer. There are, however, a lot of software engineering and related classes at IU. That was pretty much my...

    Schools Better CompSci education or better college experience?

    I've had a lot of trouble with this for the past month. I live in Indiana, and there are essentially two schools that I am going to choose from. Either Indiana University or Purdue. Purdue is known for Engineering and Agriculture, but it apparently has a pretty good Computer Science program. It...

    Teacher recommendation from a teacher I don't like

    Well if the SAT is the first step, then I won't pass. I can get into college with my SAT score, but this is for merit scholarships. I guess I should have clarified. So yeah, my SAT is a little bit above average, so good enough to get into the college. The college doesn't require or recommend...

    Teacher recommendation from a teacher I don't like

    I've posted here before about how I dislike my physics teacher for various reasons. He ignores kids' questions, and he mostly talks about sports, or makes pop culture references and jokes just to get laughs from the class. No one thinks he is a good teacher, and he focuses more on his football...

    Do you think this is an unhealthy mental condition?

    Nah. Everyone feels it at some point in their lives. I sure have. You pretty much have a biological impulse that tells you how bad you want her. Just don't get creepy and stalky, of course ;) Make sure you still have another goal in life, though, that can ground you and maybe pull some focus...

    From Purdue undergrad to Caltech grad

    The 4.0 is weighted, but keep in mind I have only taken one AP class. Unweighted, I have about a 3.8. But that is why I'm upset. By the end of High School I will only have taken 4 AP classes. Plus, Frosh and Soph year, Half my grades were either B+ or A-, but Junior year has boosted it...

    From Purdue undergrad to Caltech grad

    Hello. I am a Junior in high school. I have a 4.0 GPA, got an 1820 on the SAT, and a 31 on the ACT. I have participated in the honors all-state band, and been in many extra-curriculur activities throughout high school. I am, however, upset with myself. My first two years of high school...

    Constant state of Gossip, and the qualification for life

    I was joking... I'm just saying that having a teacher that tries desperately to appeal to his students so that he can be considered funny is lame. He doesn't teach. We watch stupid youtube videos and talk about football or any type of pop culture. If he actually taught well and didn't say...

    Constant state of Gossip, and the qualification for life

    Yeah, I know for a fact that the teacher tries to fit in. It's kind of upsetting. He is very uptight, very conformist, wearing a tie and dress shirt everyday, etc. He makes modern pop culture references all the time. Like things he shouldn't know about because its mostly teenage stuff, but he...

    Constant state of Gossip, and the qualification for life

    Constant state of Gossip, and the qualification for "life" In my Physics class (I'm a junior in high school), my teacher was showing how you can go online and download worksheets to do on your own time, and he even said along with my classmates that "you'd really only do this if you had no...
