SchizoSkierI think ima buy a motorcycle
ColoradoDogfartGet a 1000cc sport bike or your a liberal sissy boy
TOAST.Their website might be the best designed website ever. MSC and Grainger both suck in comparison. Worth the extra couple bucks McMaster usually charges.
SchizoSkierGonna start on like a ninja 400 or r3
Rock_InhabitantI’m gonna make a photo dump thread of all the photos I took in switzerland and nederland
KalmarJalmarHow much chocolate did you eat there?
Thegenericskierpen V2 is a badass pen but boy do i wish i could figure out away to show off the internals on the final pen. because it is hard to explain that it fills up with ink by pushing a piston down
SteezyYeeterngl pen making is a valid ass hobby.
i collect energel pens!!
Rock_InhabitantLiterally none. I am above those lowly tourists
ModMommyMy male aggressive dog (who cannot be let outside of the fence if a guy other than his dad is at home) bit my homie.
Lenny-"People who refer to their dog as their child" is on my ick list. Though I do like the idea that that two people are ugly enough that their offspring would literally be a dog.

WoFlowzboutta crash out and move to philly to coach highschool rowing instead of going to college at this point, and work as a fuckin intern somewhere. Legit cannot comprehend my parents paying 35k a year for me to go to school. Even if I pull that money out and it gets taxed putting it into an index fund or IRA i’d be able to retire at like 40. Not to mention pull some money for things like down payments or deposits etc. Having the ability to row D1 this fall at a liberal arts school is sick and so is taking a gap year to row D1 Ivy League lightweight, but I genuinely cannot fathom spending that much of my parents money even if they have saved it. I mean even a state school is 24k a year with room and board and I still think that’s insane esp for the quality of education.

CeleryIvy's are a scam, most jobs don't care if your undergrad came from a state school.

GrandThingsKinda disagree with this bro. I'm not saying it SHOULD, but the name of your school does matter to a lot of top employers. While I don't think the education itself is any better, the networking and connections and being "in the Ivy club" is going to open more doors.
partyandBSi dont think your considering it fully. you think your dad wants to show up the country club saying his son didn’t go to college and is a high school coach?! fuuuck no. he wants to boast that his son is a D1 athlete and he’s got the stacks to fund it.
sometimes its like you dont even care about your parents ego…
SlushSeason24k with room and board is an absolute steal. That's gotta be heavily subsidized by taxes. Even 35k just for tuition at a private school is super cheap these days.
Go to college. Get a useful degree. Don't devote your whole life to rowing a boat.
Saving $100-150k and working for the next 4 years will make you more money in the short term. But your lifetime earnings won't be anywhere close to what you'd get with a useful college degree.
CeleryI think ivy's for graduate degrees make more sense but I feel as if there are diminishing returns for undergrad
SlushSeasonThere are definitely diminishing returns (and 1000 reasons to dislike the ivies), but we shouldn't pretend that all degrees are equal. The top schools that are only taking the 95th+ percentile of high schoolers have much smarter graduates than your state's 3rd tier state school with a 90% acceptance rate. Companies know this and they're much more likely to read a resume with UCLA written at the top than one from Chico State.
WoFlowzI feel like the education is almost worth it. The fellowship program is very appealing, in addition to the connections, internship subsidies and the access to professors. I actually wanted to learn more about the econ program. Specifically the lack of required Math courses and had a hour long in person meeting with the chair of the department who wasn’t even working over the summer. He came in just to speak which reflected very well upon the school. I’d also be hyped to have to minor in Data Analytics because i lowk love it. Ik people on the Crew team and in business programs but it is insanely tiny and 35k is a lot of money even if it’s just 150ishk sitting in a 529 and S&P 500 funds. But I also don’t wanna go to UB because the programs are fuckin huge like 300 plus kid lectures, not to mention for the size of the school the econ program is pretty sub par, and no rowing.
WoFlowzthis made me laugh so hard lolll. My parents went to liberal arts schools for undergrad then Large schools for JD’s and or MBAs and a PHD. I shoulda been more clear it’s 35k all in to go to Hobart and row D1.
Farmville420For undergrad they are all equal. I had multiple professors who also taught the same exact curriculum at MIT / Harvard, and anyone in the industry knows this as well.
For graduate and PHDs they are definitely the best tho just because of the resources they have. Yale literally has a nuclear warhead on campus for their Nuclear Engineering program, you are not finding that at a state school (Fuck Yale tho they don't pay taxes and are the reason New Haven is a shithole).

SlushSeasonI really disagree with this. Speaking specifically about engineering programs in California and Texas because that's what I'm most familiar with, there are huge differences between the curricula at different universities.
In Texas, Rice and UT Austin are very research focused schools and they have very theoretical undergrad curriculum to prepare students for grad school or r&d type jobs. Places like UT El Paso or Texas State San Marcos are focused on more practical job training. Sure, the basic Statics and Thermodynamics classes are the same, but the later curriculum isn't. I went to Rice for undergrad. We had 2-3 more required Math classes than most other Texas engineering schools and 10-15 more required credit hours. They did a lot more design-build projects than us, but we did a lot more system modeling and solving differential equations than them.
The same applies in California. UC San Diego and San Diego State produce very different kinds of engineers. At SD State undergrads are likely to come out already knowing how to use CAD and Finite Element software from class. At UCSD they'll learn more math and theory, but they'll be expected to learn the software on their own or on the job.

SlushSeasonChoosing an econ program because it doesn't have much math is shooting yourself in the foot. My university had an econ degree and a math-econ degree (not a double major, just a math-heavy program). My friends in the math-econ program all got great consulting, banking, and fin-tech jobs while the econ majors were getting more basic accounting/auditing jobs.
300 kid lectures suck, hopefully that's just for the intro classes. Our intro to micro econ class had like 150 person lectures at a school of only 4,000. But any classes past that usually had 20-40 students
GrandThingsWhy don't you like Hobart? One of my best friends went there and loved it.
WoFlowzPre calculus/Calc
fabbeIf u guys didnt know already or if ur new here "Calc" is short for calculator!!!
