Political Movements on Campus?

How often are there political movements like protests or demonstrations at or near the campus? I’d really like to get involved in expressing my beliefs and opinions, and standing up for what I believe to be right, as I’ve never had much of a chance to in my hometown. So how prevalent is the political scene on campus?

Is the tuition the same between the campuses

Is the tuition the same between campuses. Also I heard that they were building a lot of new stuff at the indianapolis campus so they’re going to be accepting more students is that true.

SCLA 11000 course

I'm an international student and will major in computer science. I was placed into SCLA 11000 and SCLA 11100.

Now, I might test these course out, but I'm not sure whether I should do. I think I can learn from these course, and I heard that they are also easy too.

I'm wondering whether this course and SCLA 11100 satisfy any of the required credits for graduation. For example, will any of them satisfy any humanity, culture, or gen ed courses? I tried searching about it but couldn't find a clear answer. Thanks in advance.

Advice for Incoming Freshman

  1. If you are a sophomore by credit, make sure to inform every person you meet so that they can treat you with the respect you deserve.

  2. If you don’t want to use a bike lock, that’s okay! Just leave it somewhere and it will definitely not be moved to another more elevated location.

  3. If you are FYE, you are better and more qualified than other students and should behave accordingly.

  4. If you want to eat somewhere with no wait and very quiet, Chic fil a is your best bet.

  5. Freshman housing is amazing! Definitely choose a triple or a quad, they are the best dorms. If you get Tark or Meredith, you won the lottery!

Can I retake MA 162 after getting a C if UniTime lets me add it?

I’m a Mechanical Engineering student and I’m trying to retake MA 162 over the summer. I took it freshman year and got a C, but I want to replace it with an A because it would help my GPA and possibly my eligibility for future programs like 4+1.

My advisor told me I’m not eligible to retake it because students can only retake a course if they received a C- or lower. The confusing part is that UniTime still lets me add the course to my summer schedule.

Has anyone been in a similar situation where the system let you register even though your advisor said you were not eligible? If I take and complete the course anyway, would the new grade count, or would it not replace the old grade? Any advice would be appreciated.

EPICS Teams

I am an incoming Freshman to FYE. I was placed into EPICS. I have two questions:

  1. Was the EPICS LC worth it?

  2. What team were you in, and what was your experience like?

Personally, I am interested in the ASME or Assistive Technology teams. So any information on that would also be greatly appreciated.

Laptop for FYE

I am sure this is posted all the time here, but I am an incoming Freshman for FYE, planning to major in AAE, and I need a laptop.

While I really want a MacBook since Windows has been getting on my nerves as of late, that will probably not work out for the software I will need for Engineering.

Any recommendations in terms of CPU, GPU, RAM, etc. would be greatly appreciated, along with any recommended models and insight into the software used in Purdue engineering courses.

Thanks!
