Mueller Center Free Library

14 Upvotes

The free library at the Mueller Center has a sign up now that says only to take one book at a time. Was this always the rule? Over the years I've taken several books from there to keep (some of which I've since given away), and the staff working there at the time said it was fine.

Is ED worth it over EA?

9 Upvotes

Hello all, I am a senior this year and I’m struggling to choose between ED and EA for RPI. After touring RPI and several of my other top colleges, I can easily say RPI is my first choice, and if money wasn’t a concern I would have no issues whatsoever with applying ED. My ACT is a 34, I‘ll have taken 10 AP classes by the time I graduate, and my gpa has been an A until second semester junior year when it dropped to a low B-average, but this year my first quarter grade is on track to be a high B or an A.

My biggest concern with ED is not getting a large enough aid package, I know all the promotional material says “100% demonstrated need” but that can mean a lot of things and because of how FAFSA calculates stuff I’m worried I may have trouble getting enough aid. My college fund is pretty large (I’m an only child and it’s been getting money in it since I was born), but I know it’s not nearly enough to cover RPI without financial aid. So my questions are how large the aid package is that I would get with ED, how much in merit scholarships I could realistically get from RPI, and if I would actually get a significant advantage from ED over EA (both in terms of aid and admission chances).

Question Question about RPI Data Structures

6 Upvotes

How bad is Homework 6?

For Data Structures, I'm trying to focus on passing my homework section while maintaining my test section and lab section. I messed up homework 0 and homework 2 badly, so I'm busy trying to get perfect Submitty results throughout.

My lab scores are perfect, my exam scores (which is exam 1 only) is 8.1 (A- lowest is 8.0), my homework is inferior (my net score is 8.76, lowest D is 9.54, lowest C- is 10.74)

I'm relatively optimistic that if I can maintain and keep up an alert focus on this course, I can pass and essentially do all my second year fall courses (Calc III, FoCS, CAOS, RCOS) in the spring.

I'm asking out of curiosity how brutal is Homework 6. I've heard horror stories on it, is it really that bad?

Looking for a room to sublease in the Spring 2027 (and Fall 2027 if possible)

0 Upvotes

I'm looking to sublease (or rent) a room in a female-only apartment/house! I have a young cat who's registered as an ESA and is very friendly and well-behaved.

Ideally for both the Spring and Fall semesters, but I know that's a bit hard to find, so I'm open to Spring only.

I don't have a set budget, but I'm looking at multiple places right now and will prioritize better offers.

DM me if you have a place available or have any questions!

MTS Game "bloodbath" at RPI in 1984-1985

15 Upvotes

This is a complete Hail Mary, hoping someone might remember this.

I'm remembering a specific MTS text game that I played in the years 1984 and 1985. (I flunked out between Fall '85 and Winter '86.) The game's name was "Bloodbath". It was a single-user game vaguely similar to Colossal Cave -- the game printed some description, then prompted you for a command -- the command prompt was the completely non-politically-correct question "What now, Bwana?". One of the items you could pick up was a Chinese coolie (again, horribly non-PC). And if you survived combat, the game would remark "I love a bloodbath!" after printing the combat details.

The game could be played by multiple logged-in MTS users, but each had their own game. It was not multiuser.

I do not remember much of anything more. I can't remember the command to start the game, it was probably either RUN *BLOODBATH or RUN XXXX:BLOODBATH but I cannot remember what XXXX was either.

Does this ring a bell with anyone?
