I go to UCF (university of central florida). I didn't know if it be sketchy to say since this is a public forum, even though theres like 54,000 students there, lol. But yeah, I took the SATs the last year before writing counted. I'm just a freshman right now so we'll see about the triple majoring and stuff when I get there, cause I'm not really into the make or break classes yet. But UCF is a huge/great engineering school. It was originally just an engineering school in the 60s, then in the 70s they started expanding it to include more majors, and now its like the 3rd largest university in the country. Its just outside of Orlando, Fl. so a lot of huge corporations are located really close to campus. We have tones of resources and connections with them as well, so you're really set for success. But because it started as an engineering school, the school itself was really well thought out and engineered.
When you go to most colleges, the layout makes like no sense at all, and buildings are all jumbled and scattered everywhere. But at ucf its set up on a concentric circle with the student union in the middle, the classes in the circle around that, then the only road on campus around that, then all the housing. So it really makes sense, and because there's only one road the campus isnt very loud and is relatively more safe.
Mythbuntu is an great OS for media center PCs which im building after christmas. It runs natively on the XFE desktop environment, but you can download ubuntu to it which i did and is a lot better.
You can use a program called 'wine' to play some windows games with. My main two games are Grand Theft Auto SA and CoD4 and both of them worked fine under wine with lowered settings. Ill be reinstalling Vista after christmas once I get my mythbuntu box assembled.
Yeah, we do. We usually hold a band camp the week before school starts to get everyone acquainted to the style of marching and we get them started on learning drill. Then from then on we have rehearsals every monday night for an hour and a half.
Well I thought that I was smart in math and all that, and I figured that Engineering would be like, you know, getting out there and doing lots of tests with real life examples, designing things and testing them... but so far it's been nothing but boring calculations and pre-defined problems which are extremely uninteresting. Plus the math and physics are harder than anything I could have ever imagined.
