my roommate is taking a calc 1 course and I realized that I have completely forgotten all the shit that I learned in calc 1 and 2 my freshman and sophomore years
i think uni in new zealand would be a lot cheaper
as in, similar to australia
american dude who is here for a semester is kinda pissed off and lodging complaints cos hes paying tuition fees for uni back home for the exchange, but found out that the cost here is like 1/10th what hes paying
plus some other little things where they keep trying to wring money from him
my roommate is taking a calc 1 course and I realized that I have completely forgotten all the shit that I learned in calc 1 and 2 my freshman and sophomore years
my college education is really showing its worth
that's how the majority of people are
you forget the vast majority of the finer details, but i bet you've retained the basic knowledge and could fall right back into it with very little effort
Who told you to take PChem 1st semester freshman year? That's like a junior or senior level course usually.
You should total beat them for such bad advice.
I go to a really small engineering school, which is notorious for having a crazy amount of work. Everyone takes PChem second semester normally, I just skipped general chem because I got a 5 on my AP chem test.
Bad idea, son. No fucking shit you think everyone is smarter than you then.
Yeah but everyone else in the class is a Freshman too
My current plan is to have my friends in the class explain stuff I don't understand, and it seems to be working ok so far. We'll see if that changes by the first test, though.
Also I have 18 credits hooray

Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
you are starting engineering huh?
dont worry if it seems real hard, because if it hasnt already, the whole thing will degenerate into about 4 people actually doing work and everyone else copying off them

If you want to do anything in linguistics other than academia or TESL, go here.
They run a bimester schedule, which is a nice alternative. For the undergrad certificate, you start with phonetics and grammar or something like that. Basically square one. You finish with field methods, which requires you to write a full analysis of an unfamiliar language as the final. It's a five month program. Ridiculously intensive. They don't offer a bachelor's, though. You have to get that somewhere else before you move on to the master's programs.
Munkus do you know if you need a degree to get accepted to most law schools?
I am hoping to apply this year but since I don't have a degree is it even worth trying?

i started to become one of those magic 4

uh generally you need to graduate college prior to getting into law school, yes. You don't have to have your degree in hand when applying (I was accepted this Spring, graduated three days before my first class this fall)
You need to have decent grades and (most most most importantly) a good score on the LSAT.
You break 165 and most schools will overlook all but the shittiest GPAs (I am on scholarship, and I only got a 3.4 in undergrad)

None of my professors collect work, though, they pretty much all just have 3 tests which make up your entire grade

These forums are also probably going to be the reason why I fail in law school. Shit, I have been trying to quit for weeks now and I've been failing miserably.
I'm gonna wake up at 6 in the morning tomorrow to read and study for 3 hours for a class that starts at 10 AM, and I'll consider that to be a break of a day.

computer science could be good but i am too far gone into mechanical things with forces and metals and whatever else my degree may entail

Yeah, post-undergraduate professional schooling represent!
Fuck yeah! Social lives and entertainment be damned!
This is my first time in over eight years that I have actually read all the material prior to going to class and the first time ever that I am making comprehensive study guides/outlines in order to learn the material.

that is too bad. I am really just doing the undergrad as a stepping stone to law school and it is starting to feel like a big waste of money.
it sucks to pay for 4 years of school to get into school

Be glad, son! I get one grade the entire semester, and it's graded on a scale with the most competitive lot of motherfuckers this side of the mason-dixie line. One grade, end of the semester, on a curve.
Oh yeah, I'm sweating bullets daily.

i quickly realized that all i cared about in engineering was the computing parts, and made the jump as soon as i knew i really wanted to
i'm still finding out that kids i started in engineering with are following suit and dropping out of engineering for CS
after already taking 4+ years of engineering
yes, they are planning on going 7+ years for a CS degree

It's mainly to see that you are: A: Committed to your education B: Have high enough academic and general moral standards to not get in trouble with an ethics committee and C: to establish a record in which they can grade you against other incoming students with similiar LSAT scores.
It is certainly worth it.
I would certainly recommend taking as many philosophy courses and you can. And take the philosophy course of logic before you even consider touching the LSAT.

How much of it's paid for by your government, though?
When a government's paying the bill, they usually only do so for nationals.
government loans for nationals only yea
so actually i mixed up numbers a bit but it was still a lot cheaper here
wait how much is a normal semester over there?
i think here its about $8000 a semester for international students?
around half that for locals
Out of state tuition at a public university before any scholarships, grants, or loans will run you around 6,000 USD right now at Southern Illinois University (a pretty average to mediocre school), which is about 8,000 AUD right now. You'll generally pay more at a better school or if you're in a prestigious program. International students usually pay out of state tuition, but there tend to be lots of scholarships for them. Private schools are a lot more, but they hand out more scholarships and aid all around so it balances for most students unless you want to go to Harvard or something.

If you get into Harvard, you generally get enough scholarships and aid to get you through and THEN some.
Unless you are in upper middle class (then you are fucked do not go to Harvard you will be screwed out of money)

alright will do
do they look at certificates and stuff when you apply as well? By the time I graduate I should have met the requirements for 2 and I don't know if I should stretch myself a little thinner to try to get another or maybe not bother with the 2

Maybe you should sweat bullets into all the other students so they die and you get an A

They look at everything, and I do mean everything. Number one most important thing is the LSAT. And, again, shoot for 165+ and you'll do fine.
