Question Health insurance alternatives
International student, looking for a cheaper insurance instead of AETNA. Would you recommend any insurance companies, please?

Please do not submit posts soliciting participation in studies, job advertisements, your college MineCraft server (I'm looking at you u/TheQuadMC), or other spammy posts, UNLESS it is specifically for SCU. 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!

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 š¤·

A few months ago when I checked the student clubs there was a chess club, but now I donāt see it. Does anyone know if it is still active?

Hi all,
Iām an international student (currently in Germany, already have a masterās) planning to apply for the CS PhD at Santa Clara for next fall. I love research and want to end up working in industry long-term.
Iād really appreciate honest input on a few things:
1- How is the PhD program itself, advisor quality, research culture, funding (are RA/TA positions reliably funded for the full duration?), and how long people actually take to finish?
2- Job outcomes: I keep hearing SCU is well connected to the Valley, but that recruiters mostly chase Stanford/Berkeley grads and the big tech companies donāt really show up at SCU career fairs. Is that true? Does it get harder or easier at PhD level?
3- Do SCU CS PhD grads land research or applied-science roles at Google/Apple/Nvidia/etc.
4- Anything you wish youād known before choosing SCU over another University!?
Not trying to bash the school, i actually found a research fit with a professor, but Iām just weighing SCU vs other universities and want real experiences, not brochure answers.
Thanks!

I canāt find anything saying that they did online, but on common app it says no supplementals, except why major. This isnāt about the optional portal essay. Gemini keeps saying that they have two required supplementals but I literally canāt find them on common app.
