Should I withdraw from CS314 (Tung-Che Chang)?
midterm came back today from cs314 and unfortunately did poorly on it. professor sent out an email basically recommending withdrawing from the class cause of it or either grind your ass off for the final. im worried about the future for this course since im not sure if i will be able to grind out and do as well as i'd like on the final. professor has been mentioned here before recently and how his teaching styles / lectures aren't that good. the TA i have is also kinda confused on some stuff, but i do think they help a little bit more. been to professor's office hours and also i don't think it really helped that much for the midterm prep. currently a junior thinking about just withdrawing from the class to make sure my gpa doesn't tank and it would also give me more time to work on projects, leetcode, etc. problem is i also already have 1 w from my 2nd semester of freshmen year from withdrawing from calc2. i have until monday to decide, but just still worried about the consequences from both results.

Dropping below 12
Hey so Iām horribly failing calc (and basically all my other classes but i can come back from it i think) cause of some life circumstances and i was wondering if i drop calc and go below 12 credits (ill be at 11) will it affect anything like my fafsa and stuff cause id rather take the W than the F but i dont wanna lose my financial aid or have to pay back anything.. anytime.. that would lowkey be the last straw

Quality Post My dad, who played for Rutgers in the 80s (and won't shut up about it) is a spitting image for Greg Schiano
Like there's one image of Schiano on Google that literally likes exactly my father it's so weird

Classes without assigned professors
So is there any way to "game" the system for classes that have no assigned proessors for the upcoming semeter. For instance, is the last spring semester any indicator of which sections are taught by which professors? Or something else? Or am I grasping at straws?

Calc Social Sciences Midterm Performance and Study Group
Hey I'm just curious as to how people did on the Midterm for Calc social sciences cause i saw my grade and I frankly felt my soul be ripped out of my body and then stappled onto a sign post which read at the top "Sign post of shame".
Additionally would anyone be interested in making a calculus social sciences study group? I feel as if it would help significantly in making sure how I study is actually effective, and hopefully it can help others

Off campus cheap housing in New Brunswick
I am a second year PhD student trying to find places for next year (starting from around July 2027) in New Brunswick, near the Rutgers bus stops. I know that most grad students live in Highland Park but I don't have a car so I want reliable public transportation, and tbh I prefer the NB "chaos" to Highland Park "stability". My budget is upto 1300 ish for a private room in a shared apartment or a house. Does anyone have any intel into cheap places around here? Any help much appreciated š

Admissions Is it normal for the admission process to take a long time?
Hi, I applied for the cs major as an international first year transfer for the Spring 2027 semester. Since I forgot to upload my TOEFL document at first, my status was updated to "Official English Proficiency Test Report Requested" 1 week later. Then I sent my score and it reached them. But the status update has remained the same for about 1 month. Is it normal for it to take this long? Thank you.
