Hi I was just wondering is it worth to get insurance for 4 years on your computer.

I need to take this course as it's pre req for courses I want and Mani is the only option. However I am hesitant to take it with him after taking a glance at the Rate My Professor for him. What are his CS656 is like? How are the assignments? Overall, would you recommend taking his section (which is the only one available except the Jersey City campus)?

Is 330 Mount Prospect Avenue a good place to stay as a graduate student? Saw their apartment availability on Zillow and their studio apartments are quite reasonable. Any suggestions would help!

hi, i recently switched to civil engineering and am also thinking of switching from windows 11 to linux and was wondering if there's any software required for the major that has problems running on linux. i already know about lockdown browser and was planning to just rent a laptop from the library, is there anything else?

also, is there any specific distribution that'd be best suited to the software required for civil engineering majors? (beginner preferred, i've done some research but my knowledge of linux is still a bit shaky)

fyi im taking econ 265 w porchiun (if anyone can help me out, are his exams and quizzes lockdown with no camera? thanks) im on the wait list for phil 337, if i get off it then ill replace phil 334 with that cause rn im at 18 credits. im trying to take easy classes to help fluff up my gpa after orgo 2 bends me over.

also if anyone knows, im taking phil 334 w professor Anis, how are her exams like? im really trying to not care about this class so if her exams are at home, no webcam then thats golden, if i cant get world religions and phil 334 is gonna be too much work, i was thinking of replacing it with phys 203 w libby but im really not trying to put in too much work outside of analytical, orgo 2, physics and stats.

thanks again

Hello guys, I am a incoming Pakistani freshman. I got my visa approved this week but I am anxious about what to bring and other things. So I am looking to connect with students who are also from Pakistan. Please DM.

Hi, I am an incoming international PhD student at NJIT. For my immunization records, I need to take MMR and Hepatitis B vaccine and need to take PPD or IGRA test. I will arrive in the United States on August. I might not be able to complete all the doses for these vaccines before I arrive.

Is it possible to take all the vaccines after I arrive in the states? As a funded PhD student, my health insurance is covered by NJIT. In that case, what would be the cost for these vaccines? TIA

I am an incoming female international PhD student at NJIT. I will be working on wet lab, which means I might need to stay in the lab during midnight. While searching for accomodation, most people suggested me harrison and kearny. But in that case, I will be dependent on bus service, as I do not have a car yet and don't plan to get one soon.

Can anyone suggest me, where I should look for accomodation near NJIT? Is it possible to get a studio apartment on a student budget? And how much it would cost? TIA

I couldn’t go to my class today because I just don’t feel well and although it’s not that serious I still had to go to the doctor

Also, have allergies been hitting anyone harder than usual? I swear my allergies act up even more when I’m on campus. Literally got here today and felt nauseous and had a stuffy nose the moment I got here so I had to head back home 🫩 I hate summer so much

So I’ve been doing really badly mentally and I’ve been missing some of my classes, I have like 3 or 4 absences (I’m taking a summer course). This was all so sudden and I was hoping to get an appt soon with my psychiatrist so I could maybe get some a letter excusing some of my absences but the earliest appointment is literally a month away bruh

Like at this point should I just drop the class or email oars. Idek if they’ll do anything because I can’t get a letter or anything till I go to my psychiatrist. Like ik this sounds stupid but idk why but lately I’ve been terrified of going to class, like I feel so sick even thinking about it and I wasn’t like this before. My anxiety got worse and now I’m like really scared of taking exams like the last exam I took I legit felt like I was gonna throw up but I somehow got through it, this is literally the first time I feel like this. If I drop the class I’m gonna be so behind and I don’t know what to do anymore. This is so embarrassing and I hate that I’m going through this, I don’t even wanna send any emails because I hate telling people that know me what I’m dealing with. I’m probably gonna graduate like a year or two late which sucks even more because I was taking summer classes to catch up and now this thing ruined it. On top of all that, dropping this class would really mess up my fall schedule

Any advice would be appreciated cuz I genuinely don’t know what to do

Unfortunately, I've lost my scholarship but I have no proof of any circumstance that has caused this. My question is, has anyone appealed a scholarship without showing proof of medical issues, death in family, etc. I guess I could show proof of my commute but I'm not sure that's strong enough.

If anyone used Google NotebookLM with their UCID email, what did and didn't you like about it? Did you use it for anything related to academics at NJIT?
