If someone gets your password somehow, they can access your account if you don't have two factor authentication. If you reuse passwords on multiple domains, you're at increased risk of someone getting your password and using it to access other sites you use. You can check if any of your email addresses were in public dumps from hacked sites by searching for it on https://haveibeenpwned.com/. It's good to have two-factor authentication on any accounts that have your financial details on it to help prevent people from stealing your identity or making fraudulent transactions. You should at least set up two-factor authentication for all banking accounts to help protect them.

Imho, I don't think you need to waste your tuition money on a semester long class to learn personal finance. There are tons of books, videos, and forums you can access that teach you all the basics and more. You just need to do a little research. My favorite book on the topic is <em>I will teach you to be rich</em>. It's straightforward, easy to understand, and doesn't bullshit. It's a good place to start.

One thing I'll recommend for anyone who has to deal with ice, get a pair of Yak Trax.

They're like tire chains for your shoes.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0094GO8Q8?pf_rd_p=c2945051-950f-485c-b4df-15aac5223b10&amp;pf_rd_r=VANMHNM6N5ZDQ8YGA9DB

I'm actually using the run version that has spikes on the front so there's less chain.

You can't really wear them on carpet or inside on hard surfaces as you'll slip but for an icy sidewalk there's nothing better. Good luck out there.

We're half way through April, and we've had a grand total of three days above 50, and one of those still had flurries in the morning. That's much colder than any year I can remember - I always remember April as reasonably nice with at least a few "fuck you, here's some more snow" days, rather than the other way around. At a quick glance, 2007 is the closest to this year

I use the transit app. It tracks UM and Ann Arbor’s city buses. Also works for other cities too. Apple App Store and google play store links below.

The problems are interesting and are great for those with an interest in math and number theory for sure. If your goal is to ace a software engineering interview however, you'd probably be better off looking at problems on sites like https://leetcode.com/ or https://www.topcoder.com/

I had a great experience with the Aveda Institute! It's pretty cheap compared to some other salons I was looking at, which were like $40+ for a cut. I got a Groupon voucher ($20 plus a hair treatment), so I was like why not.

I was a bit nervous at first because students were the ones cutting hair, and I wanted to cut off a lot of my hair (mid-back to shoulder length), but my hair ended up great! The staff were also very professional and friendly, so that was nice.

Definitely worth it!

If you want blank paper, that’s not really scrap. I would suggest buying a ream of printer paper from an office supply store/Meijer/Amazon.

Unlined notebooks are also a thing, if you want to keep your notes more organized.

Make sure to go to Supplemental Instruction sessions! They’re weekly sessions open to everyone in CoE hosted by the Engineering Learning Center (ELC). You’ll have an SI leader there every week that picks a set of problems for you guys to work through and explain in detail, and I’ve found that consistently going helps me tremendously. They also host practice exams that are different than the ones you’ll find online. Here’s the schedule: http://elc.engin.umich.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/19/2019/01/ELC-SI-schedule-WN19-1-27.pdf

Also, I HIGHLY recommend buying the following book. One of my friends recently wrote it before graduation and he was the best tutor/SI leader I’ve ever had. This book is basically a collection of all his note/teaching material: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1983340995/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_QvZvCb3692JBJ

The maximum amount of time that you can get the student discount is four years, whether you're in college for longer than that or not. The only way they know if you're still in school is when they ask you to re-verify that you're a student once a year, so you should be good until whatever month you usually have to re-verify. At that point if you've reached your four years, you're out of luck.

I feel like most people focus on using leetcode and/or hackerrank to prep for programming interviews. Granted, those only focus on actually implementing, so if you need to work on the verbally explaining part you might need to find a classmate or friend to practice with.

https://mail.google.com (or https://email.umich.edu will redirect you to it) and enter your and then it will send you through Weblogin to authenticate. (source: work for ITS in the Identity and Access Management team)

If you're committed to it, it'll be fine.

Regarding DJW: I had him for 419.

• In my experience he is a poor lecturer in that he delivers the content poorly (writing, speech, and examples are all subpar) and cannot address questions effectively. He also goes into unrelated tangents periodically.
• His quizzes would tend to incorporate "tricks" that he presented in lecture rather than exercise core concepts, so if you were sick or traveling, you were hosed regardless of how well you knew the material.
• His grading was such that everything revolved around getting the correct answer. Demonstrating understanding of the material, but perhaps with an arithmetic error, would result in a zero.
  
• Other opinions
• Bottom line: I have a BSE, MS, MSE, and just finished my PhD, and in all that formal education this was the standout class that I look back upon and am entirely disappointed by in every respect.

ECON 101 is almost identical to AP Microeconomics, at least as far as the 2015 AP exam is concerned. I took 101 last semester and found that I was able to pick everything up as if the class was a refresher. If you can stay on top of homeworks and the lecture material, you don't necessarily need to stick around for the whole lecture. In fact, after I slept in on my first two 101 lectures, I decided to see how far I could stretch my luck and ended up only attending 1 discussion and 0 lectures, and I still don't know what Professor Mitch Dudley looks like. I don't recommend that course of action, but it's technically possible to do that and get an A or an A-.

SPANISH 232 isn't a hard class in general, so as long as you keep up on homework assignments and weekly writing assignments, you'll be good to go. If you've taken 3-4 years of high school Spanish, this class is half new material and half refreshers, and my class spent a lot of time talking about the cultures, histories, and lessons about countries in Central/South America. The class makes heavy use of a textbook and accompanying workbook, at least in my experience. spanishdict.com is really useful for studying tenses and learning certain nouns (and the algorithms are of a high enough quality that they can make writing assignments quite a bit easier without robbing you of actual knowledge).

BIO 172 looks a lot like AP Bio, so I imagine that shouldn't be hard, but I'll let the more knowledgeable students answer questions about that. ENGLISH 124 has a lot of variation between teachers, so it's hard to really comment with specifics, but in my experience it was on roughly the same level as, if not a little easier than, AP Lit.

I've been here a few months and have been using ExpressVPN with umich VPN as a backup. Surprisingly, the umich VPN has worked really well (almost always connects and holds a connection), but it's usually not as fast as the paid VPNs.

Ready for downvotes lol.

I took 183 with Dorf and she was very cool IMO. Most people dislike her. Read the reviews... I think this is because the tone of her voice can sound rude, pretentious, bitchy, or unhelpful. However, she is not any of these.

She regularly spends time after class helping students and I found her lectures to be very engaging. I did not come into 183 with any prior coding experience, but I could easily follow what she was teaching (assuming I was keeping up with the HWs and reading). Also, when I took her class I had an emergency with a friend and she was extremely cool about it giving me sympathy and moving due dates to my convenience. She really does listen to students. During the final group project one of our teammates when MIA and did not contribute any work. She was very helpful and listened to my frustrations and handled the situation fairly.

The curriculum looks pretty structured and will teach you a lot

However, note that the field of Data Science is new and can easily change in a few years. The Data Science major just replaced the Data Mining Informatics Major, which wasn't even 7 years old.

Data Science seems like a recent growing trend, but no one will know if it will stick. Since it's so new, you'll probably have to explain to every recruiter you go to what you did in your Major, when everyone universally knows what you would learn in a CS or Computer Engineering Degree.

If you want to be a Data Scientist, I don't know if its even possible out of undergrad. A grad student I met just graduated with a Masters in Stats, and he said that most big tech companies (i.e Google) only hire their Data Scientists who have PhDs in Math, CS/CE or Stats. Here's the Qualifications Amazon wants for a Data Scientist (https://www.linkedin.com/jobs2/view/12513029?trk=jserp_job_details_text): Minimum of a Masters, Preferred a PhD along with knowledge in a clusterfuck of various languages. My above friend works as a Data Scientist at a Startup in NY. He says a decent amount of his job involves helping out the developers make their Back End coding more efficient.

Imo, while classes you take will definitely teach you a lot, you'll probably end up with a software engineering job. The field of Data Science is new and currently, Data Scientist jobs just don't really hire out of undergrad. Not a lot of people will have a great understanding of your major, so you'll have to explain (This can be good or bad) more than a CS or CE major would.

Of course, you're still an incoming freshmen. A lot can happen in 4 years. I really hope if you declare for the Data Science major and say you want to be a Data Scientist, the advisor will tell you the job market is literally Masters & PhDs restricted.

So I used to be a projector guy (still have an Epson HD projector from circa 2012). But man, HDTVs are just so cheap these days. You can get a brand-new 49&quot; 4K screen from Amazon for $320.

That's why it's a dangerous game to go to "highly" ranked Universities. Higher ranked univiersities might actually be a detriment to your outcomes, relative to other universities. In this book, there is a story of a high school valedictorian who had to pick between two schools: a local state school or a prestigious out-of-state school. She chose the more prestigious one and entered in the STEM program. She couldn't do well on the exams in the STEM program (relative to her expectation), so she dropped out and went into a liberal arts program. Had she gone to the easier school, she likely would have graduated with a STEM degree and be working the job of her dreams. Her education would have been better too, because it's better to master simpler material than to scrape by on advanced material.

I use a video podcatcher. I personally use gPodder, but there are plenty around.

If you click the CAEN Lecture Recording CTools page, there is a link for the Video podcast. Just add that link to the podcatcher tool of your choice. Many (including gPodder) will download new videos for you, and keep track of when new videos are available.

Currently in China as well. UM VPN usually works but is pretty spotty. Since I'm here longer term I bought a different VPN (ExpressVPN which works pretty well). There are some free VPNs as well out there, but I haven't checked them out.

Edit: spelling.

Ah, I didn't really look through the data. From this article, it said some passwords/hashes were leaked, so I figured better safe than sorry. And anytime there is a potential breach, changing passwords isn't a bad idea, but you're right, probably not necessary.

I took 183. I had Elliot Soloway and Mary Lou Dorf. Soloway is... interesting. But he's a terrible teacher. The Dorfinator is vaguely intimidating but she's smart and fair and a very good teacher.

That being said, from everything I've heard C++ is more difficult than Python, plus you can learn python on Khan Academy.

But overall, 183 is not that hard. The programs can be a bit of a time sink but you get to have a partner for every project, 3 late days, and two submissions per day so you always know exactly how close your project is to an A.

I've taken MATH 417 (essentially the same as MATH 214) and MATH 425 (same as STATS 425). MATH 417 was fairly straight forward with little surprises. It was probably similar to MATH 115 in terms of workload, and maybe slightly more difficult due to proofs.

However, MATH 425 was far more difficult and surprising. A lot of people say MATH 425 is one of the easiest upper level math courses, but I would be very cautious of that statement. When I took it, I got this crazy math professor who made us do all kinds of difficult proofs, rather than simply plugging and chugging as many others have said. I thought it was more difficult than EECS 203, and some of the proofs were EECS 376 level difficult.

Really though, all you gotta do is research an easy professor for MATH 425 and you will probably be fine. Make sure you don't take it with this guy like I did.

Have you considered AOSS 101? Ratemyprofessors suggests that the class is easy and interesting.

Don't forget that you have the option to take courses pass/fail when they are not required directly by your degree. This can make a class a whole lot less stressful when you know it won't affect your GPA as long as you pass. This is good for your intellectual breadth classes.

As far as which specific course, just ask around. I personally have taken Phil 230 (Intro to Buddhism) and History 331 (Polish History) and not found them demanding, but these are my interests! Find classes that meet your interests, and then check out Rate My Professor to see what others say about it.

Also I found Econ to not be a high workload, but I also had a good idea of most of the concepts entering the course.

• If you scroll down to plane here is a link that has a list of ways to get to ann arbor.
• If you are interested in a sublet in a large house that is 5 mins from the Union, I'm an engineering student that will be gone for an internship this summer. Includes parking, PM if you are interested.
• good place to get food is probably either kroger, which is by north campus, or Meijer. Both can be reached by bus as stated in other posts, but it takes planning. Alternatively if you only go once a week or so, renting a Zip Car for like $8 an hour would definitely be worth it in my opinion. There are places to buy essentials like milk on campus, but because of the extra convenience they usually charge more.
• One thing they probably haven't told you about is Summer Festival. This is an awesome month long event with free outdoor movies and such. Look forward to it.
• I have lived in Ann Arbor for the past 4 years, so if you have any other questions about the city let me know.

This is one I’ve found and have enjoyed - having one page for planning and one page for whatever random notes/tasks pop up on a weekly basis has been pretty helpful for me.

A typical class is a bit fuzzy in my mind since I took it about two years ago so I'll just give you more details about some of the stuff we did. Sorry if this description is all over the place. There was usually an in class meditation, which was more guided at the beginning of the semester. The professor is the same so it should be about the same. We'd have random discussions about pretty much like a sharing time. We read a book (The Miracle of Mindfulness by Thich Nhat Hanh) and wrote a short paper on it so yes there was actual work, but it was a good book that was relatively short and nice to read before bed. There is also assigned meditation for 20 minutes most days, and we were supposed to journal about it. 20 minutes is kind of intense so I usually did what I could and didn't stress out about doing it if I really would have rather been sleeping. As I mentioned before, we also tried some tai chi during 2-3 classes. We practiced meditation while drawing quite frequently by just drawing whatever we were feeling. We got to spend a day outside when it got warmer. The grade is just a completion grade so do the assignments, and you'll get an A. Sometimes it felt a bit hippie-dippy (quite a change from all the science courses I was used to taking), but overall, it was a good experience that was pretty easy and a good break from the rest of my classes.

Snowshoes have gotten crazy expensive. I picked up my first pair 3 years ago iirc, they were like $25 in store

Volunteering, at a soup kitchen for example, is also something people do at the holiday season

That chineseum mfg is sold under a bunch of different brands, but it's cheaper than ikea and the stuff I've gotten has been decently sturdy. Probably a 5 year lifespan or so.

I have the lifting coffee table, L desk, and I'll probably get the console I posted here if I ever get a TV

Amazon L shape desk was around $125 early 2022. I transferred in during the dead of winter, so very little second hand or time to look I have one, am happy enough with it

Buy your own cable modem, you'll be able to take it with you from house to house and works better than the rented ones. This is one is capable of 400 Mbps, but there are other models for other download speeds.

&#x200B;

Then get yourself a set of these. You wouldn't have to get 3 depending on the size of your house, but you can save the extra in case you move into a bigger place.

I used a North Face Surge II for my BS, MS, and a year after, still in great condition, great size (large enough for a 16 inch laptop), good organization, very convenient and well-built. Think I also sprung for a can of waterproofing spray stuff to grant a bit of extra coverage for the occasional rain.

Depending on where you are, you could borrow my datavac. Way better than canned air and better for the environment.

The overhead lighting was pretty shite so, aside from maybe a small desktop lamp (I had something like this but not this brand, can't speak to this brand's value, but: like this), I would say look at getting either some string-lights you can tape or hook up around the room for a softer lighting or, if you're like me and want a bit "extra," it doesn't cost too much to get a colored LED strip that you can change with a remote or with your phone, which are super nice because you can set brightness 0-100% and change the color to fit your mood

Do you mean that you need a special valve that regular auto tire pumps don't fit?

Some thinner tires inflate to a higher pressure than regular mountain bike size tiers and require higher pressure presta valves which require an adapter to work with regular air pumps.

Rather than carry one around and put it on every time I needed to inflate my tires which was a huge pain in the ass, I just bought two and left them on permanently and put regular tire valve caps on them. For intents and purposes they are just regular tires/valves now.

I recommend Amazon! You can get some nice hybrid mattresses (mattress+box spring) for $200-300.

I bought this really nice one 2 years ago and it’s still holding up great: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HGYQWY8?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Here at Umich, you'll experience a brief fall, and the rest of the year is winter.

Winter isn't wet as it is cold with some variation of snow, ice, slush on the ground most of the time. Any backpack will be fine. What you really need are a good winter coat and boots. A heavy down parka will last for years and you'll need it. Boots or shoes need to be warm and waterproof. If you'd like to do any long walks on our icy sidewalks or the B2B without falling, especially December through February, when they're most treacherous, think duck shoes and consider getting cleats, like these.

If you don't know how to cook at all, I recommend buying a book like How to Cook Everything.

for sure check out SI; there's also cyrus's group on the cse side... we are mostly pl focused, but with a heavy hci bend, and a growing csed aspect via the hazel tutor project

If you really don’t need one often, Fishbowl (or really any of the libraries and large computer labs) is your solution.

I kept a mini Swingline in my backpack all through college and I felt like I used it kind of often for homework, notes, and miscellaneous assignments. I definitely got my $5 worth out of it.

Now, you're nitpicking my concern. I've read the book and I've read Guzey's criticism. The book is not great; I'd give it perhaps 3 stars (compared to 5 for Bill Bryce's <em>The Body</em>, for example.) But you are more convinced than I am that Guzey knows what he's talking about and that his criticism is valid. In any event, neither Guzey's criticism nor your remarks relate to Walker's claim that research indicates that sleep cements learning. Can we leave it at that?

If you've got the time to go through a full university course, MIT OCW definitely has a DS&A course. If not, check out some of the stuff the other commenter said as well as this ~4 week course by Google: https://www.udacity.com/course/data-structures-and-algorithms-in-python--ud513

Apply to CoE, and if the reqs seem like too much, you can switch to LS&A. If you do this, you will also fulfill requirements for LS&A as well.

We also have a computer science & engineering degree as well. It's pretty much like just the CS degree in LS&A, but different requirements to get in. If you do IOE, you can get a CSE minor (just take EECS courses like EECS 280 & 281). You can also do the other way around as well.

Also, if you are afraid of math & science, I would highly recommend you check out Khan Academy.

two factor is a good security practice. if your password ever gets compromised (more on this later), without two factor, every account with that password can be easily compromised. even similar, but slightly different passwords could be fairly easily tried. With two factor, even if your password gets compromised, an attacker would still also need to compromise your second factor, and since it's not the same type of factor (i.e. not just another password), it's much more difficult (though certainly not impossible) to compromise.

Factors are typically divided into categories. Common ones are: something you know (a password), something you have (your phone, a security token, a u2f key, etc.) and something you are (biometrics, like fingerprint, face id, and retinal scans). typically, gaining access to two factors would require physical access to you (barring phishing), so having two factors greatly increases your security.

that said, if your password ever gets compromised, you still need to change it (otherwise, one of your factors is not really valid, and you're back to single factor).

if you're using the same password on multiple sites, you should break this habit. It's not possible to memorize different passwords on hundreds of different sites, so don't. get a password manager. Dashlane, Lastpass, Keepass, and many others are all decent solutions. use randomly generated passwords on every site, then if one gets compromised, you sigh, and change it, and move on, with not much inconvenience. Some of these password managers can even change your password for you automatically!

Now to drive this point home, I'd like to share a website with you: https://haveibeenpwned.com/

enter your email there, and it will search through a ton of known leaks, and see if your password has ever been compromised. I'd bet you probably have at least one. it's fairly easy for a hacker to get your password from a leak like that, and they happen all the time.

If you're interested in community service, I'm in APO and its pretty great. There are only a few requirements, and the only requirements are that you complete some service each semester, but its not very hard, and I find it is good motivation to actually go out and help the community. Its also a great social club, we have a couple fellowship events every week, attend professional sports games, and do lots of other fun things together.

Our mass meeting is Wednesday, at 6pm in Angel, Aud D. And theres free pizza. There are also a bunch of rush events the next two weeks that you can come to and see if you want to join. There's a facebook page with them all here. I think its a great group, if you have any questions let me know.

What's worked really well for me is buying a set of colored sticky note bookmarks similarly to this: https://www.amazon.com/Post-Markers-Assorted-Bright-670-10AB/dp/B007QFATEO (my own set is purple/pink/blue/orange/yellow but the purple is hard to read so the fact these colors are lighter is probably a plus)

I then assign each class to a different color and write every single assignment's due date on its own sticky note (ie, I might use Yellow for EECS 473 and write "HW1 2/17" to signify that EECS 473 HW1 is due on February 17th) and line them all up in chronological due date order on the side of my computer monitor.

Every weekend, I update them with any new due dates, so I always have a good sense of what is due when literally as far out as professors have scheduled (this is easy when homework is always due on a given day, but one-off assignments will require your prof having made a due date public) - which generally gives me a good idea of the entire next month of coursework.

Then, once I've completed an assignment (or an exam, I list those too [in all caps]) I get the satisfaction of taking the sticky note off of my monitor.

All in all, it's a pretty good system that I picked up Freshman year and have used every semester since.

Based on DTE's pricing, the most I would pay per kWh would be ~$0.18 (DTE pricing). Now, I do understand that current earnings are high as BTC and other currencies just skyrocketed in the last year or so. Using NiceHash's profitability calculator, where I plan on building a rig with x6 3060ti, the approx profits per day would be ~$20.95 (Profit Calculator). I'm not sure if I'm missing or overlooking something in these calculations, but if they are correct, there is quite a lot of profit to be made and it would take ~6-7 months to make back an initial investment of $4500 (this is an overestimate for the whole rig, using $600 per 3060ti)

Id assume the primary ingredient is Shichimi togarashi, a Japanese 7 spice blend. You can buy it at Asian grocery stores or online: House - Shichimi Togarashi - Japanese Mixed Chili Pepper 0.63 Oz https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002YGSJQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_KD5EDG09W2F07HCFHSYW

Yep, I've done this and I'd strongly suggest Github pages instead except for a few specific casses. Pros of each:

umich:

• Your page will be under a subdomain of umich.edu
• You have access to a few select cgi scripts. The only one I've found useful is weblogin to validate a umich user's identity before allowing them access. Others are pretty useless.

Github:

• Pages are served over HTTPS by default without any work from you. Not having a site over HTTPS is a bad look these days.
• You won't lose access after you graduate
• The website is a subdomain of github.io, so you can purchase and register a CNAME record to get a custom domain for your website. Umich pages have to be under www-personal.umich.edu/~uniqname, which you cannot file a CNAME for. In other words, with Github you could do something like have FuqNick.com alias to your Github site. Umich can't do that.

Also, one potentially useful trick is that umich.edu/~uniqname will redirect to www-personal.umich.edu/~uniqname. So at least you save some characters.

Do you think the comments about him being a bad professor are true on Rate My Professor? I want to take it next Winter, but I'm kind of wary now.

For used stuff:

Make an account for Nextdoor, people sell stuff there and there's also craigslist.

You can also check out the PTA/Salvation army second hand shops.

How is the homework? On RateMyProfessor, some students say that the homework is difficult, but I wonder if it's because they aren't good at math/science.

I stayed at an older apartment complex but it was just two streets off of State St, an ideal location. I think the address was 350 Thompson Street, if I recall correctly. It was many years ago. I remember it being a fair price. I have no idea what it is like now.

I had a studio half above ground level unit.

Hey u/LilChamp27, thanks for this! Let me explain:

Our cost is $50 – we see ourselves as an alternative to Coursera, Codeacademy, and all the other online coding courses out there.

The cohort program is meant to teach skills not traditionally taught in typical introductory computer science courses — like web development (HTML/CSS/JS: APIs, Event Listeners, etc.) and data science (Python: Numpy, Pandas, Seaborn, etc.).

We're an alternative to typical online courses (which are around our price range) and introductory CS courses (thousands of dollars!). Instead of memorizing syntax, our members learn by building real projects. This is the best place to start for those interested in getting a practical introduction to coding.

I'd like to also mention that we offer scholarships to those who find the cost to be a barrier. This is outlined in our FAQ section on the site — but if anyone is reading this and would like to learn more about this opportunity, please feel free to email us at [email protected] and we'll get back to you with more information.

Can make a personal website for yourself. We have free hosting through heroku that can run python files and stuff. We used it in EECS 183.

If you want simple HTML/CSS there's the umich personal page (http://www.umich.edu/~umweb/how-to/homepage.html).

Even if you're not CS or anything, having a personal website is kinda fun and a good introduction to some "easy" programming.

I used https://myhomeworkapp.com for years. Web and mobile apps, cloud-synced. Worked well for all my purposes. There's a free version and paid version. I think the subscription was like $2/year - very reasonable.

Your computer hardware probably won't pick up 5GHz frequencies which is what MWireless is. You can purchase something like this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FRXYXFJ?psc=1&amp;ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details that will let your laptop pick up 5GHz frequencies

I’ve never had the mplanner, so I’m sorry if this isn’t helpful/what you were looking for, but I have this one and I really like it :)

If you can't find a spot, you can get a few extra hours with an external battery.

Don’t know about free, but you can def find some at like a book store like ulrichs or something. I also have used this one and have liked it.

Second the kn95 but this stuff actually works real well once it’s applied especially in winter.

Anti Fog Spray for Glasses | Prevents Fog on All Lenses and Devices such as: Glasses, Goggles, PPE, VR Headsets | Safe on Anti-Reflective Lenses | Made in the USA | FogAway by Gamer Advantage https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08F2WTS2W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_H0YM9QWTWQZV8YV0ZJ68

RA's can't actually go in and search your shit, at all, but they can call up DPSS, who can do that stuff. If you have alcohol, keep it in a fridge or closed drawer/closet. If you have weed, drop ten bucks and get a a good smell-proof container (can definitely vouch for that one).

The default-most classic set is Cards Against Humanity https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004S8F7QM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_ZEB2DWNYX60SRCDN2Q9E

And damn when I looked for it I noticed just how many expansions options are out there now, lol. I use the original base pack and a huge 3rd-party expansion called Crabs Adjust Humidity, but yeah the basic $20 set everyone knows is the one I linked above

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09B4TNVSJ?psc=1&amp;ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details

i just bought this one last month for my room for 150. theres ones that go cheaper than this, especially on a deal

I suppose it'll likely depend on how many students are vaccinated, case numbers, variants, etc. If it's any help, I've found these masks don't fog up my glasses 99% of the time: https://smile.amazon.com/BeatBasic-Dust-Mouth/dp/B088D7HG5M/

The cut and wire nose frame is jussssst right.

They're listed on amazon as Beat Basic, Yuepeaco, and Yiiza.

Who uses paper like that? If you buy standard, loose-leaf paper, it's $10 per 600 sheets. Which makes a tremendous difference in the cost of paper—it costs 1/3rd of what you linked. This is what I use when I take paper notes (although I like college-ruled instead, but it's the same price). That makes your cost of paper $47.

Pens don't run out that fast. You can buy a 12-pack of Pilot G-2 07's, which are my favorite, for $13. You can get them in around 20 colors in a multipack. An average pen will write about 100 pages or 50 sheets, so you would need 56 pens or $60 worth. That's if you only ever replaced your pens instead of buying ink refills, which is considerably cheaper.

I don't have an issue with the math on the binders; it varies drastically based on the specific binder. So 47 + 60 + 30 = $137—far less than an iPad. If you're using an assortment of special highlighters and things, we can bump the price up by $10/year and still only be at $177.

There's nothing wrong with using an iPad for notes if you have the money and if it works better for you, go for it. But, and this is my main point, I don't agree that it's cheaper to do so.

Haven't read it yet, but it's on my list: The Index Card. Heard it has some pretty good info in it, but I don't think that it's a comprehensive guide to all things finance if that's what you are looking for.

I had a 34” 21:9 just barely fit in the mojo dorm desk. I’d recommend picking up a mount on Amazon (the desks support them) for extra desk space. I used this one for a ~12kg monitor (it’s rated for 15kg) and it was pretty wobbly, but if yours is lighter you should be ok.

In not only your case but also everyone's I <strong><u>Strongly</u></strong> recommend CeraVe® Moisturizing Cream

every other lotion and cream is

Lesser

When I moved in years ago I don't remember that being in the apartment, if it is it'll be new and sealed in package near the shower. When moving into NW II at a later date, they did. The curtain I got from NWII was this one. This article is unclear about it as well, noting that NWIV/V get one, but given that NWIII is furnished, I'd expect there to be one.

A Yamaha &quot;digital piano&quot; (like the P45) is what you're after. Weighted keys that feel like a real piano but has a headphone jack and is small enough to keep in a dorm room or apartment.

Older models (like the P90 and P95) are almost identical and go for like $300 on Craigslist and eBay.

Cheapo non graphing ones are only a few bucks on amazon, might be useful to have around anyway. https://www.amazon.com/Casio-HS8VA-Standard-Function-Calculator/dp/B001GXM68Y/ref=sr_1_18?keywords=calulator&amp;qid=1581921404&amp;sr=8-18

This 100%. And if you haven't purchased them already, Organic Chemistry as a Second Language is a must. Not sure which textbook is currently being used but try to find a used copy of any recent edition of the Solomons ⁠text—if you can do the problem sets at the end of the chapters you should be in decent shape for any undergraduate exam. I hope they aren't using Klein's book.

This is the best option. I ran a peer blocker in the dorms and torrented mass amounts and never got an email. PeerBlocker, PeerGuardian, and Little Snitch (for mac), are the good ones. A VPN is also an option but it'll cost you a bit. Private Internet Access is a popular option in the VPN category.

I really recommend getting more storage in general. Command door hooks, over the door hooks, ottomans are great for this (ottoman also works as seating). For more unconventional ideas, I think a shoe organizer thing (https://www.amazon.com/Whitmor-Over-Door-Hanging-Organizer/dp/B000HM5V0A/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_201_lp_t_2?_encoding=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;refRID=5G4KM6NE6KWAV5049JZY) is a great idea, especially if you loft your bed. You can use it for shoes or honestly anything else instead (I keep first aid stuff, cosmetics, lotion, umbrella, food, chargers, power banks, and a bunch of random stuff). Lawn chairs are a good alternative to a futon since it's much much easier to transport and store.

Depends on the field. If you don't have a specific team you want to work for and you just want software development at a tech company, honestly I don't think any makes you specifically more "employable" other than EECS 482 as some UofM alumni who come to the career fair see that in high regards. Other than that, my suggestion would be: EECS 482 and EECS 381. 482 because multi-threading in many other universities is seen as a core topic in CS, and 381 because it establishes such a strong connection for the student and C++ that I feel much more confident and sure about CS interviews (as you can usually pick your own language for interviews as EECS 381 is known to be extremely C/C++ oriented).

"Employable" really is kind of a strange term here, but just a last note that if you honestly just want employability, consider the "Introduction to Algorithms" course. It's proof-based, math-related, however solidifies your understanding of Big-O for more complex algorithms.

Just my two cents, good luck!

If you want a physical copy (and get it signed by Prof. Greenwood), Amazon has them for relatively cheap as a Dover edition.

If you want a pdf, the Russian Lib Gen has one.

All of the suggestions so far are pretty spot-on. We've been having an unseasonably warm winter up until now but, knowing Michigan, that won't last long. The thermal or fleece-lined pants/leggings will be your best friend. You don't need to go crazy regarding the coat, since you will only be here for the Winter term and coats are all over the place when it comes to price (and since you can layer up underneath anything you do get). I'd recommend looking for something with a hood that comes past your face so it will block the wind - quite often the sub-zero winds are the worst part of the winter weather (at least imho).

It doesn't sound as if you'll be needing to do a lot of walking to get from your dorm to your classes so any decent, waterproof boot should be good. I lived a bit off campus and took the bus into downtown so there was quite a bit of walking. These hand & toe warmers were an absolute necessity for me. I'd keep them in my boots, pockets, and gloves. I'm not sure how I would've survived waiting outside for the bus without them.

That all being said, have fun in Michigan and go blue!

Non-mobile: 2. If this is your first bike, read this book. I've been riding for years and I still read this every spring.

^That's ^why ^I'm ^here, ^I ^don't ^judge ^you. ^PM ^/u/xl0 ^if ^I'm ^causing ^any ^trouble. ^WUT?

Unless you're totally bald, you don't need to do much more than cover your ears, and for that I use these. They're comfortable, warm, don't give you hat hair, and collapse small enough to tuck in the inside pocket of a coat.

The Making of the University of Michigan.

It was written in 1992 for the 175th anniversary, but provides a pretty cool look back into student life and the founding of the University. It does get a bit dense at times talking about which faculty were hired each year (back when it was a small staff), but overall I found it absolutely fascinating.
