Just did the hack to find out my dorm building by checking the meal plan tab on my.uchicago (woodlawn btw). However, I'm a bit confused as to why the meal plan corresponds to a specific dorm in the first place. Will I still be able to eat at other dining halls without having to pay extra? Moreover, is the food at specific dining halls significantly better than the food at other ones?
I am trying to find a recipe for rose-pomegranate pistachio Turkish delights. They have them at a store near my house and I have become obsessed. However, when I search on Google for a recipe, it only shows recipes for the smaller narnia-style turkish delights. Is it possible to attempt to make these larger roll-shaped ones at home? Where do I look for instructions? Any help is appreciated.
How worried should I be if I completely bombed the derivatives section of the math placement exam? For context, I took all the way through calculus 2 in high school but I never took the AP since we don't have AP classes. I was quite unprepared for the test as I haven't done much math since my school ended in April. Some of the derivative stuff on the test was genuinely material I have not touched since 11th grade.
On the placement test, I scored 43/50 on the algebra/trig section, 13/25 on derivatives (I am not sure how I managed to pull that one off), and 17/20 on integrals. Are these scores low enough that they'll start me in a non-calculus class? I took 1.5 years of Calc in HS and am hoping to at least qualify for Calculus 1, but now I'm stressing.
