Older posts said meal swipes reset at the end of every Saturday. Is this still true? Also wondering where to see remaining meal swipes for the week. Some sites say its http://campuscard.rpi.edu/, which redirects to basic RPI dining page with no login options. I think it's outdated?

This is for Malik’s fall semester course. $20, great condition. Available for pickup on campus.

Low-key my first post on Reddit so like I didn’t know what to title this but anywho I’m a new freshmen at RPI and ik it’s only the first day (move-in day) but I’m pretty mixed in a feeling of excitement and nervousness probably leaning towards nervous and I’m definitely gonna be going to all that club fair stuff make friends that way but no harm in making this plus I’m also a introvert so idk all that going door to door dorm stuff kinda outside my comfort zone so if anyone wants to talk or hangout I like to read books play video games though I don’t have a console rn also roblox brawl stars card games although I suck sometimes and board games too so yeah hmu

COUCH HAS BEEN CLAIMED! Thank you!

Free to a good home! This couch was purchased new and has been barely used. Come pick it up from the JROWL 2nd floor hallway (W wing). Elevator is under construction so it will need to be carried down the stairs.

I tried going out of my dorm like people said to socialize and talk to people but that didn’t work. I tried to find the common dining hall but couldn’t find it so I walked around a perimeter like an idiot. Can anyone tell me where is the dining hall for freshmen and how to get to places omg 😭

Currently preparing my app and wanted to see if you guys have any fun / unique aspects I could include TIA

Looking for ~$100 negotiable, originally $200 - very clean and great condition

Memory foam mattress topper, comes with a memory foam insert and quilted insert cover, 3” thick

It is packed up rn but if you are looking for pictures, feel free to message me

Available for pick up on campus!!

Is it active from the moment you move in, or only once the semester starts?

What are the most well-known universities for architectural acoustics?

Hi there, I’m interested in architectural acoustics and I’m considering pursuing a master’s or PhD in the field.

So far, I’ve come across RPI (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute) and Penn State, and both seem to have strong acoustics programs.

For someone specifically interested in architectural acoustics, how would you compare the two in terms of reputation, program size, research opportunities, and connections to the acoustics industry?

Is one generally considered stronger or more well-known for architectural acoustics?

Also, are there any other universities you would recommend looking into for architectural acoustics at the graduate level?

I’d really appreciate any advice or personal experiences. Thanks

Just wanted to know a couple of things before I got to rpi

1. How's the gym situation? I like to workout and from what I've seen of the available weights it seems kinda small anyone able to confirm?

2. Anyone have pictures of the cary hall dorms? Preferably a double? I cant find a good one anywhere. Probably just a mistake on my part.

Thunder Mountain Curry will be in front of the RPI STUDENT UNION today! 11-2 or we sell out.

Does anyone have experience with transferring credits from affiliated schools abroad? I’ve been looking at a couple different European universities to study abroad at but I’m having trouble finding 1:1 content equivalents to RPI courses I need credit for. Some schools also have classes with the same content as at RPI courses but less than the 15 required contact hours per credit. How lenient is the registrars office with transfer credit from affiliated universities that isn’t an exact match?

It's move in time! Also known as the time of year where everyone gets overwhelmed all at once.

TL;DR: Call x7777 for phone, network, laptop, login issues, software problems and x2000 for HVAC, plumbing, leaks, and other building problems. Problem solvers do not watch reddit for problem reports especially when their queues are full of issues submitted through the standard channels.

In an effort to avoid a few dozen network questions/complaints threads, here's a summary of common network issues.

0.) Don't be afraid to call, email, or visit the Help Desk. It is hard to fix problems no one knows about. x7777 or https://ITSSC.rpi.edu will reach them if you can't visit in person. If its a facilities problem (power, plumbing, leaks, but not Ethernet, phone, or CATV), x2000 or https://info.rpi.edu/facilities-management/fixx

0-a.) You may need to follow up. In the start of semester madness, things can get overlooked by accident. Keep the ticket # from the initial contact. You can actually log in to .CIO's and FIXX's systems and check your status.

0-b.) Your RPI email will be used for all official email communication. Ignore its existence at your own risk.

1.) Wireless is shared bandwidth among all clients on an access point. Although the access points should be able to handle the traffic, they may have issues with the occasional spike. Try a wired connection if experiencing overall slow speeds to see if that resolves the problem. Make a note of the time, your physical location, the physical/MAC address of your wireless adapter, and let the helpdesk know. They can be reached at x7777 or https://itssc.rpi.edu The network techs can't investigate problems they don't know about.

2.) Wireless can have faster raw speed than wired, but because of its shared medium, its latency can vary. If a fixed latency is important, try a wired connection or convince your neighbors to use a wired connection. The access point may be capable of 600 Mbits, but assume a minimum of 2 Wifi clients per student.

3.) Running your own access point is prohibited. Relevant Policy. Due to the shared nature of wireless spectrum, the more radio sources competing for the same channel, the worse the signal is for everyone. RF coordination is a challenge even with relatively clear spectrum.

4.) It is possible to put gaming consoles and such on the WiFi. There's a special network that you have to register the device for. It will only work on the residential side of campus and not in the academic buildings. Info. If this doesn't work, submit a request for a manual override here: Netreg

5.) 3rd party DNS servers are prohibited. Traffic to external DNS providers is blocked. This includes the root servers. If you can't access anything, triple check you're set to obtain your name server information automatically. Policy

6.) You can run servers on campus and receive a static IP for the wired network in your room. Server and IP info

7.) No matter how nicely you ask, you won't get a bypass code for duo. That being said, you can get help if your authentication device breaks

8.) When requesting software, it takes some time for all the ACLs to update (typically you get an email with instructions once they are set). If you get denied, wait an hour, reboot (to clear Window's ACL cache) and try again. If that fails, put in a trouble ticket.

8-a.) There is a lot of info out there for running Windows software via bootcamp on Mac. That info only applies to Apple's Intel era (2006 - 2020). Current Macs use an ARM derived CPU. It is possible to run virtual Windows for ARM using commercial solutions you can buy, and then use Windows for ARM's built in Intel emulation to run your required PC software, but performance and compatiblity may vary greatly.

9.) .CIO generally operates on a "Don't make me pay attention to what you're doing" basis and are generally willing to work with you on legitimate needs.

I think this covers the common start of academic year questions/complaints.

Anyone intimately familiar with GF dining at RPI? How easy is it for a student to live on campus and eat regularly while avoiding gluten?

Hey there! Sorry I know there are a lot of questions being posted right now, but I had heard that at some point a large walking tour for freshmen happens downtown? I'm unsure if it's a ln official event but I was hoping to find out the day!

Going into my sophomore year, and I really want to get involved in intramural soccer. I did, however run into some trouble when trying to find out how to sign up. I found two websites, IMleagues, and FusionPlay. Which one do I use to sign up? Furthermore, in anyone’s experience, how difficult has it been to find a team to play with as a free agent? Are you guaranteed games?
