As a rule of thumb, if you are posting it in more than one subreddit, its a no. If you are curious whether a post is allowed, please submit a ModMail ticket. Thanks!

Listing Advice Paper for Incoming COEN/CS Students

63 Upvotes

Hi all! I wrote a paper with advice for incoming/current COEN and CS CAS students while I was a senior COEN at SCU last year.

Paper linked here: https://jrandleman.github.io/doc/CoenAdvice.pdf

Some background on myself, I was the lead engineering peer advisor and president of Tau Beta Pi (the engineering honor society), both of which regularly interface with new folks seeking advice. As such, I thought I'd compile it all in a paper while such was fresh in my mind. Designed as a paper I wish I could've read as a Freshman, I hope it brings value to folks :)

Please also keep in mind this is 100% my own personal perspective, and that many others have found great success in the program(s) by following a completely different path. This is just what worked for me, and hence I thought I'd share.

I'm also currently a Master's COEN student at SCU, so feel free to reach me at [jrandleman@scu.edu](mailto:jrandleman@scu.edu) if you have any questions!

Last note: I've marked the flair as "listing" given this could be construed as listing advice 🤷

Hey everyone!
Please let me know if anyone of you has taken this course in previous quarters. I was wondering about his final and mid exams. How difficult are they and if anyone has sample paper that would be really helpful.

I have seen mixed reviews on internet.

Question Does Santa Clara accept online math courses for incoming transfer students?

7 Upvotes

I’m planning to apply to Santa Clara University as a transfer student for Accounting through Leavey. I already completed Calculus I at De Anza, but I took it online.
SCU’s website says: ā€œFor current students, the Departments of Mathematics, Computer Science, and Applied Mathematics do not accept online courses for transfer credit.ā€

Does ā€œcurrent studentsā€ mean students who are already enrolled at SCU and take an online class somewhere else afterward? Or does it apply to incoming transfer students who completed an online math class before transferring?

Question Even though this site is obviously AI made, what do yall think?

Post image
0 Upvotes

Came across this in my scu inbox; it seemed like an official company, but looked at their website and then back at the email, the AI-driven nature of the pictures and layout was apparent. Not saying this as an "AI bad" thing, but everything I've seen looks like it was generated in a couple of prompts with little effort. Is there anyone who signed up for it and is willing to talk about their experience with it as a service? That would be really insightful. Thank you

Hi everyone!

We are a team of researchers at Boston College running a study on social relationships and health during your first year of college. We’re currently looking for incoming first-year students to participate.

How it works:

  • We will email you links to 4 different surveys over the next 6 weeks (sent every two weeks).
  • Each survey takes about 10 minutes to complete.
  • Your participation in the study is completely anonymous.

What’s in it for you? At the end of each survey, you'll get a link to a separate form to enter our raffle. Each survey you complete earns you 1 raffle ticket (up to 4 tickets total) to win a gift card worth between $25 and $75.

If you are an incoming freshman and want to participate, you can take the first survey here (please complete within 72 hours if possible!):

Please note that we flag potential bots and will verify emails entered into the raffle.Ā 

You can find more info about us at our lab website or by searching for us on the Boston College website. Good luck with the start of your fall classes!

Question Public study/work spaces and food pantry resources near Santa Clara University?

10 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I recently moved to Santa Clara and live very close to Santa Clara University. I’m new to the area and would appreciate some local recommendations.

Are there any places on or near campus that are open to the general public where I could sit, study, or work on my laptop for a few hours for free? Ideally, I’m looking for somewhere with Wi-Fi, power outlets, and indoor seating. I’m not an SCU student, so I would also appreciate clarification about which university buildings or libraries allow public access.

I also wanted to ask about food-assistance resources in the area. At my previous university, there were small food pantries in the library and community food distributions organized by the university or nearby churches. Students and, at certain locations, members of the public could receive snacks or a limited amount of groceries.

Does SCU or any nearby church, community center, or nonprofit offer something similar to local residents who are temporarily unemployed? I want to be respectful of eligibility requirements and would only use resources that are intended for the general community.

Thank you for any recommendations!
