AI Thread Summary
When preparing for a transition to a new school for chemical engineering, it’s crucial to gather information that goes beyond what is typically found on the institution's website. Key areas to explore include the social environment of the town, the campus layout, and the availability of study resources such as libraries and tutoring hours. Understanding public transportation options is also important for navigating the area. Additionally, inquiring about engineering clubs and groups can enhance the academic experience and provide networking opportunities. Transfer students should focus on questions that address their unique needs and seek insights that might not be readily available through official channels.

Hi,

So I was accepted into my #1 school for chemical engineering. I wanted any advice on any questions I should have or prepared to ask the personal running the program that might not be obvious to incoming student. I'm a transfer student with a fairly high gpa, and all of my credits have been accepted, would the physics forum suggest any question that may be useful to a transfer student.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Find out what the town is like. What the layout of the school is. Where the study halls, libraries, tutor hours. Public transit, engineering clubs, or groups. Is the the stuff you're referring to?
 
Any thing that could be relevant to a transfer student that's not on the website. But yes these types of questions
 

Thread 'Where did all the “fundamentals-deepening” master’s programs go?'

I’ve been looking through the curricula of several European theoretical/mathematical physics MSc programs (ETH, Oxford, Cambridge, LMU, ENS Paris, etc), and I’m struck by how little emphasis they place on advanced fundamental courses. Nearly everything seems to be research-adjacent: string theory, quantum field theory, quantum optics, cosmology, soft matter physics, black hole radiation, etc. What I don’t see are the kinds of “second-pass fundamentals” I was hoping for, things like...

Thread 'Applied Math PhD candidate but I hate group theory'

TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
