The principles in this book have helped me build a very large network through my years in the DoD.

• Initiate conversations with the people around you and get to know them. Never wait for people to talk to you. If they don’t reciprocate, don’t take it personally; maybe they’re just stressed out.

• Be interested in who people are, where they come from, where they’re going, and what drives them.

• People love to talk about themselves. Try to listen more than you talk.

• Smile and joke often.

• Provide help to anyone whenever you can. Especially strangers.

• Your best connections probably aren’t going to be someone you met at a networking conference, but rather a friend you’ve made in class, ECs, etc.

• Ask for advice. People love to give advice and it facilitates a bond.

• Similar to above, but never cold-call an alumni you don’t know and ask for a job. You have a better chance if you ask for advice instead. Ask for advice, get a job. Ask for a job, get advice.

Edit: also, always try to have a positive attitude. Constantly negative people are annoying.

How about Hotel Beacon? It's a bit further and not as modern, but it's a much nicer neighborhood and close to bus/subway/taxis to take them back and forth between the hotel and Columbia. You can even walk between the two in Riverside Park. It's a very nice walk and takes like 40 minutes.

This is mostly hearsay, but semi-informed hearsay.

It's new. There's a lot of faculty and institutional interest. However, it's struggling to find the right students. The problem is that you need to not just be kind of an OK programmer, you need to be able to finish an MS in CS at a research university, and you need to be interested in also paying for a journalism degree, which is a questionable ROI in general. So it was mostly journalist folks who were interested in doing some CS stuff, but they were largely woefully unprepared relative to most entering CS masters students. They've instituted some programs to help, including a summer school, and the Lede program, to bring journalists up to speed. So the good news is that you'll be prepared if you have a BS in CS.

A bunch of the faculty associated with the program are great people, either as professors or just folks to have in your orbit, including Mark Hansen, Chris Wiggins, formerly Cathy O'Neil, Emily Bell, Susan McGregor. However, that's mostly on the J school side. On the CS side there seems to be less support.

There are probably <10 alumni of the program. I assume you saw this Quora question/answer? https://www.quora.com/Would-students-recommend-Columbia-Universitys-dual-degree-in-journalism-computer-science?share=1

Install the Zotero Connector https://www.zotero.org/download/connectors

Easiest way would be to then find some journal article through CLIO, and go to access it. The Zotero Connector should then ask you if you want to turn it on and will automatically configure it.

This is what mine looks like Imgur though you shouldn't have to mess with that. As you access new websites, there'll be prompts which will save them for future access without having to go back through the library website.

I don't know about juggling, but there is a chinese yoyo club. https://sites.google.com/site/cuchineseyoyo/home Thats probably your best bet for finding jugglers. Thats how I met other people who are into regular yoyos like me.

I thought that media companies seriously decreased the rate of lawsuits against individuals in the past few years?

Either way, downloading from a link site like MediaFire is indeed ideal. But if you can't find what you want there and/or have some money to spend, you could purchase BTGuard or a seedbox.

Judging from your post history, you need to begin taking responsibility in your life. Stop complaining on reddit and maybe get to work on finding a better job? You're blaming everyone but yourself for your problems.

10 years to get a degree and a decent paying job? Sorry to sound rude, but that's ridiculous.

This book is 3 dollars and it may just change your life: https://www.amazon.com/Stop-Being-Loser-ebook/dp/B008DBK2WY

Yea, he's a constitutional lawyer and his second to last book was all about the first amendment. Don't give a shit: the man bloviates and today's analysis took no responsibility for elite, neoliberal policies' (the kind generated in the Kennedy School and at Columbia) impacts on our current "free speech" issues. Every email he writes and speech is a tired riff on these themes.

I'm now a boomer who has lost touch with alma mater, so take my input with a grain of salt. However, I was an EAS major and found that getting an A in Chinese language classes was a very mechanical process. You are definitely smart enough to get an A in Chinese. Just put your nose to the grindstone and beat the characters/sentence patterns into your brain. If memory serves correctly, there are no surprises on an EALAC Chinese language test. And the courses are not curved, you just are graded on straight percentage, so that means you don't have to worry about the little shits who hide the fact they already know Chinese and take first year for the easy A. Just do your thing and you'll be fine.

I think at the early stages (first five years) of learning Chinese could be described with an exponential growth function. In year one, you have no foundation and need to spend all of your time just familiarizing yourself with the basic patterns of the language. However, as the years pass and you actually begin to build up a knowledge base, your progress picks up dramatically. You can definitely develop good Chinese in four years if you take your studies seriously. Assuming we develop a COVID vaccine in a timely manner, Donald Trump hasn't started World War III with China in order to suspend the November elections, and you can make the financials work, I would highly recomend participating in CIB for at least one summer. It will help with the general effort and is pretty fun.

As for general language learning tips, I've found getting a good SRS flashcard program helps a lot (I prefer Anki).

Final piece of advice: real gangsters know Classical Chinese, so take those classes at some point. Congrats on the admission and have a great four years!

Seriously just (pirate)[https://libgen.is/] them if you can. You can also probably borrow books for literature classes where you have to bring them in.

Won’t help with cases where you need the online code for homework and such though. That’s shit’s devious.

The student discount is on this page: https://leetcode.com/students/

Using email end with @columbia.edu will automatically add you to the list. If you already used a personal email for leetcode, you can also add the .edu email to the existing account in order to activate the premium.

&#x200B;

By the way, 58 ppl from Columbia joined the list now, so I did get the discounted premium (yeah!). It also means that anyone joins the list before 10/13 will also be guaranteed to have the discount.

I vaguely remember Columbia gifting all the freshman a copy of the Iliad so you might not need to buy it.

It's the Lattimore translation - https://www.amazon.com/Iliad-Homer-Richmond-Lattimore/dp/0226470490

A lot of good info here. Just a few add ons: - look into the student reduced fare rate - at a subway platform don’t stand next to the tracks (rare occurrence, but there’s several instances in the last year of unsuspecting people being pushed onto the tracks) - winter is cold. Invest in good winter shoes or get really good rain boots and line them with insulated boot socks to make them winter ready. Invest in a REALLY good winter coat (you won’t regret a length that covers your bum). Also invest in gloves that are warm, wind resistant, and also preserve mobility (I got a great pair from the brand outdoor research). - summer is hot. Central air is uncommon, so be ready to invest in a window ac. - others have mentioned sound and I wanted to echo this. Old windows don’t block out a lot. Blackout curtains, bookcases/bulky furniture can help with some of the noise, but it’s not sufficient. If you don’t have noise canceling headphones, consider it. - groceries! Give in now and get a granny cart (I got this one). It’s compact, doubles as a mini dolly as well as transport for laundry. You’ll appreciate its convenience if, like me, you prefer to only hit the grocery store once every week/two weeks. Also remember your reusable bags! - apartment search. Most landlords have this ridiculous requirement that tenants make 40x the rent price - be aware of this and have your financial documents ready to go. CU housing won’t have this requirement, and tends to be a pretty good amount of space at a reasonable cost (reasonable for Manhattan, anyway). - good walking shoes. Self explanatory.

That’s all I can think of for now. Hope it helps!

If you are on Android, I use this app as an alarm, and it's been kinda life changing. Totally fixed my sleep schedule. Ridiculous amount of features for an alarm app.

If you're studying at night in the dark, get some light around your monitor/desk where none actually shines into your eyes. It's easier on the eyes.

I have this and really like it: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B087CVRQVR/

I put my webcam right on top of it for our precious Zoom.

Other than that, I make it a point to just get up and walk around whenever I'm feeling tired. I've started watching lectures while working out. It's surprisingly not distracting.

No worries at all! I've seen your posts on this sub a few times- do you have this one by any chance then?

And Stewart's Calculus has an 8th edition now - do you have that by any chance?
