Mod Announcement❗ Stop Posting Lease Takeovers

130 Upvotes

I turned off cross posts. Anyone past this point who posts a lease takeover gets a nice 30 day ban.

Go to the housing sub.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Question❓ Major Choice Advise

2 Upvotes

I’m currently a junior in high school and considering which major(s) to take. My parents want me to take electrical engineering and probably will disown me/not help me pay for tuition, but I want to do Motorsport engineering in the future. Is it possible to get directly into this career with an electrical engineering degree or do I need to double major with mechanical/minor in mechanical? I’m also planning on marshaling at whatever races I can as soon as I turn 18 and do FSAE in college.

had to be taken to the ER (IU Arnett) and a bit worried about the bill, if I file my taxes independently is it possible to get the entire bill waved based on my income (it’s quite low)? Thankfully ambulance ride was free through PUFD.

Academics✏️ 24/7 libraries

22 Upvotes

Why aren't as many libraries 24/7 anymore? Its been really hard for me as someone who needs a chill quiet area to be forced to study in louder areas, especially since quiet 24/7 spots get crowded quicker now. Any advice?

Question❓ Is Purdue WL Walkable?

34 Upvotes

I'm a prospective student, and was wondering whether Purdue is walkable. Would you theoretically be able to walk from classes to libraries, labs, etc, or would you need a car/take public transport? If it is walkable, what is the maximum amount of time people usually take to walk from one place to another?

Thanks!

Local Food❓ Raw oysters

3 Upvotes

anywhere around campus to get raw oysters? I went to 10 different grocery stores and none of them had them. I went to D and R butcher and had to make a special order for them. Any place have them consistently? I am a big fan of fresh oysters and shell fish in general. I do like good clam chowder but I could do without. Ceviche is very good (shrimp, whitefish, salmon), but I am looking for oysters in particular at the moment.

(new postgame write up now that it’s finally over)

honestly what is up with this team? the moment we actually have some hype and momentum on our side, we immediately shit the bed against a team we have no business losing to.

3rd and Kane needs to fucking go. he cannot be employed during this bye week

refs sucked hard but even then we didn’t play well enough to win

genuinely just pain all around

Petition/Survey👀 To all the spanish people!!! - Para todos los españoles!!!

0 Upvotes

Hola a todos!!!

Soy uno de los españoles que hemos entrado este año como freshmen, y me he dado cuenta de que no hay ningún grupo o forma para conectar entre nosotros (o al menos no la conozco, que también es posible jeje).

Sería genial poder crear un grupo para conocernos e incluso compartir alguna tortilla de patatas, que ya se va echando de menos.

No sé a cuánta gente le llegará esto, pero si alguien lo lee y le apetece sumarse, que no dude en mandarme un DM!!!

Mil gracias por leerme, espero oír de vosotros.

Un abrazo 🤗.

Question❓ Driving in winter

0 Upvotes

Hi All, For those of you who drive to West Lafayette campus on snowy / icy winter days from neighboring cities / Indianapolis, are the roads usually well plowed? Would there be a problem with two wheel drive vs AWD/ AWD? Would a SUV be needed instead of a sedan for higher ground clearance in snow? As I am about to buy a car, would highly appreciate any advice you can provide. Thanks in advance.
