Cerbaho-WG Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Aug 8, 2005 -> 01:37 PM) Hoosier Courts @ Kinser. My friend that's a b-ball manager lived in Collins last year. He had a corner room, so it was really big/nice. I like that location too. Yeah, I've got a double as a single all to myself on a corner room, so it should be nice. And I found out that my floormate who lives right next to me is a fellow German major and he's really nice. The food at Collins is excellent but I'll have to try and ignore the artistes and emo kids. Shorter walk to Kirkwood from Wright is always nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother-in-law is going to Texas Tech, and he's getting a graduate assistant's position in the German department after he graduates in December. He just got back from Germany last month and had a blast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shorter walk to Kirkwood from Wright is always nice. Yeah, Collins definitely did have the best food. My friend and I would eat lunch there everyday first semester. The buffet was clutch there. You'll love having a double to yourself. That's what I ended up having last year, since my roommate left Indiana before school even started.

My parents are trying to force me to go because my sister went and had a blast, but I'm not too thrilled about it. I would be gone all of June and a german kid would come here in April.

Heads22 Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 My experience was that junior year sucked balls. People realized college wasn't that far away, people get moody/b****y, and the workload grows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heads22 Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 What have you taken as far as math? I noticed a HUGE difference after Analysis (1 sem trig, 1 sem pre-calc). My math score shot up 6 points while the others stayed level. 6 points is a huge difference in one year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My math score shot up 6 points while the others stayed level. 6 points is a huge difference in one year. i only took 1 math class my first year and that was pre-linear algebra (for business). Kind of a weird class w/ all kinds of theories/problems you'll never have to deal with again. It's the pre-cursor class to the calculus i'm taking in the fall.

Heads22 Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Our math teacher is freaky smart. I completed Alg 2 sophomore year, but realized the first day of analysis that what we were doing was totally different. Trig is way interesting if you are into that kind of stuff. Using angles and stuff. When it's not so cool is having to use all six trig functions in calculus. Made my head spin, but I did well enough on the AP test to not have to see it for at least a while.

And if your ACT is a 32 but your GPA sucks, you probably won't get in. Grades>test scores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnB Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 QUOTE(farmteam @ Aug 8, 2005 -> 10:41 PM) Grades>test scores. i'd argue that. As long as you have decent grades (B area) you'll be fine. Test scores are what they look at first and foremost. Unless your grades are in the C area, they won't care about them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
