/UNI/

I tried asking this in another thread and garnered zero responses, so I'll ask again.

I'm in my 3rd semester of 4 at a Community College with plans to enroll in a UNI to start my Junior year. For all 2 years at CC, I've gotten scholarships that've made the entire experience free.

How the Hell do Student Loans work? Do they drop my credit score? Do I take out all the money at once, or is it per semester?
Is it really that terrible? Should I attempt to live off the money in the dorms or maintain my fulltime job?

Same with RA's/RM's, those fuckers drive me nuts, and I hope the working world blindsides them like I think it will.

Getting a "leadership" position from the Office of Residence Life doesn't make you my boss, if you want me to recognize you as such, you either give me a paycheck, or earn my respect. My freshman year RA is the only one that I respected as a mentor. The rest can suck my dick. I don't care if the ugly cow who supervises the building says you can act like my superior, neither of you are paying my room and board rate.

Spend summer reading and catching up.

All of this will depend on where you live, and you can probably get good info if you call your bank or campus counselor (it's their job to spoonfeed you information).
How it works where I live; you apply for a student loan, you get a sum of money every 6 months, and you pay no interest while studying. If you fail you'll have to pay everything back, but if you get through your entire course and get a degree they automatically write of about a third of your loan. Obviously you should never go into debt if you don't have to, don't take a loan if you don't need it. If you have a job, stick to your job. If it is full time try to switch to part time so you have time to study. Most universities offer video recordings of lectures, so you can easily work a couple of days a week without missing too much.

Anyone here studying Finance?
How is it

>Do they drop my credit score?
Probably a little, but its not going to ruin you

>Is it really that terrible?
They're not great. I spend a moment stressing about them just about every day

>Do I take out all the money at once, or is it per semester?
For me I tell them how much I need, and they deliver half around the start of each semester

>Should I attempt to live off the money in the dorms or maintain my fulltime job?
Depends on how close the uni is or how hard your major is. Unless you are in a bullshit major, a FT job and uni can get real tough

I'm with you too mate. Fuck it and fuck me.
My normie pills aren't working today either.

What can you possibly not understand? It's just a data structure with a pointer to an object and then a pointer (link) to the next data structure in the list.
Look it up on any MOOC, this is not something to fail over.
cslibrary.stanford.edu/103/

they don't have an effect on your credit score, you owe the loan to the federal government and it is understood that you pay it at a rate dependent on your income.

how long have you done this for? I mentioned that I was doing this last semester in /uni/. it should really catch on though since the people in /his/ /lit/ and /sci/ are legitimately autistic and will write novels about certain ideas
I study accounting at a university that holds accounting majors to higher standards than finance. its easy if you can deal with failed normalniggers harassing you for networking or trying to make themselves feel better by asking what you got on a certain assignment

>aced first year programming
>struggling with linked lists
every node in a linked list is a container object that contains some data and a pointer to another node.
the entire list isn't stored in a struct or object, you only have to keep track of the first element

why the fuck would you use them over arrays?
O(1) insertion/deletion
easy to adapt into a direct graph

why the fuck are they shit compared to arrays:
access is O(n) compared to constant array access
memory/time overhead from dereferencing pointers is expensive
just use fucking vectors or arraylists instead of this garbage please

>guys uni is so hard! i only had two weeks to write 10 double spaced pages! thats like one paragraph per day! im so fucked

This desuyo, double spacing makes all the standard uni paper work so fucking easy. All these people acting like it's such a monumental task when a paragraph and a half can fill an entire page if you bullshit enough.

arrays are finite.
when you want to create a list of something, you literally allocate memory to do it. if you make an array, you have to make an array of size whatever, and then the language will allocate that much RAM
when you want to add more stuff to it, you cant, because there are only 10 slots. so you now need to initialize a new array of size (10*2) and copy all the data from the first array into the second as well as the new item.

modern handholdy languages do this for you. vector/arraylist/whatever are linkedlists internally.

with one directional linkedlists adding an element is O(n), and can be trivially made O(1) if you keep track of the last element

Who told you this lie? Hoes continue to hoe throughout their four years of uni. If you're just trying to fuck you'll have your chance.

>Freshman year is when girls are the most eager to fuck
no theyre not

docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/ArrayList.html
>provides methods to manipulate the size of the array that is used internally to store the list
>The add operation runs in amortized constant time
arraylists are actually implemented with arrays internally to ensure O(1) lookup

sure in which case youre copying a whole array in place to another each time you insert beyond capacity which (by itself) is more than O(n)

My older brother who goes to a different university and has become Chad-like despite being fatter than me. Then again he has more friends and dresses better.

anyone know which one of these would be easiest to do/copy from and change i haven't really been turning up to uni much so dont know a lot

I dunno m8s, there's something about just saying fuck it all and living for the day. I mean it's not like I do much besides sit around at home, play video games and eat but I'm saving up for a car and soon enough I'm going to be able to drive the fuck out of here and just go somewhere with my life, I'm tired of the same old shit and having to tell people what I'm doing all the time.
I have great supportive parents and a loving family but sometimes I just want to not have to ever talk to any of them, maybe go a year just living by myself in the middle of nowhere. Grow some plants, raise a cat, work at some restaurant with some other chill dudes, I don't know.

yes but the array expansion doesn't happen for every add op so it's amortized O(1)

worst case yes it is O(n) but worst case happens so infrequently people are willing to consider average case for the benefit of constant time lookup

im so glad i switched to economics after first year
i can always be default corporate rat if anything else fails
i wonder when will normies realise this whole "engineers make lots of cash" meme is a lie and this isn't 90s anymore

Dubs speak the truth
I'm really worried I'm not gonna get a job when I get out. I thought the whole point of doing engineering was, your degree was valuable enough you didn't have to do the networking bs
I'm honestly scared. I'm in year 3, cant get out now due to debt. I should've gone to trade school. I fucked up, and I may be permanently fucked

Anyone here studying law? How is it?

engineering is kinda over staurated since everybody fell for engineering meme
don't know how it's in chemical or biological field
i think better since an average normie that thinks engineering makes big bucks is smart enough to enroll ther

I'm doing civil engineering (knew mechanical would be over saturated AF, computer science is gonna be too soon)
Still doesn't seem to have helped. Every person Ive talked to or have heard say they got an internship either
>Know someone
>Are a minority of some form
I am neither of these, I think I'm fucked

i feel sorry for you since you're obviously in the US
im in euroland and since we don't have non whites here (or at lest in my country) to get to intership you just need to apply in time
no bullshit race quotas

Yeah Im in US. Affirmative action is a bitch

Ive done it. Don't do that bro. Youll feel like dick after. Just do the paper. Then come back

Documentation is more important than the code

I've literally done it or every paper this semester though, each time I've finished it the night before. Amazingly I've gotten good grades though, lowest was an 85 but that had some retarded sources you had to shoehorn in that made it impossible to go into enough depth with the page limit.
Am I getting off on the induced stress or something?

I can complain to the department head if I fail the assignment, right?

man US college seems like hell on earth to euro
but maybe it's just the amount of interrcial porn being spammed on this site that makes me thing in every dorm white girls are fucking with blacks while white guys just sit alone and study

what is the course about and what level is it?

The head of my student union got impeached last year for being against abortion

there was a controversy at my school because some students were posting what i guess were really strident flyers about racism (probably something along the lines of fuck white people but the details are sketchy) and some other student got offended and sicced the cops on them (didn't get charged or anything but it caused a stir).
Also some dumb retard published an article alluding to bug chasing among some gay people in the "conservative" magazine and got in mega hot water over it.
last I saw they were trying to defund the publication but I don't know if anything came of it

I'm not gonna lie, its not just a porn meme. White girls are always hanging out with black guys because
>Exotic/gotta experiment/other roastie memes
White guys still go out with white girls but its fewer than it should be

absolutely false. stop spreading bullshit you fucking kike. the only girls that date out of race are already whores in the first place that try to shame other girls into doing the same

why do you think I put roastie in my statement faggot?
And as I sad some white girls still date white guys but its not as many as it should be
I don't understand how I'm pushinf
>White girls don't like white guys
So go fuck yourself. The meme isn't 100% true or 100% false, at least where I go

I'm in my third year. I study in an european university, though. You have to be relly good at memorizing shit, and you'll need a strong work ethic, but is not as hard as it may seem.
If you study on the US (or any anglo country), your legal system is a tad more difficult because of all the use the jurisprudence (the decisitions made by judges and courts of justice) gets, so you can't just use the law itself to base your study around.

Tomorrow I only want to skip class, but I can't really afford it. I fear that if I miss class, my whole year will crumble down and the anxiety is killing me.

I'm in Europe thank God. How does your career path look? Also do you know anything about studying International Law? I'm myself coming from Poli Sci, but decided to drop it.

There are literally no girls on STEM departments lool. Specially on CS, ECE and related degrees.
Everyone who actually been there knows it. At most they are around 2-5%.

I'm in environmental science as well. Look into GIS. But are you sure you won't have to do calculus in physical geography either?

There's quite a lot in biology, chemistry and physics.

How can Americans stand it? In the UK a bachelors is 3 years and a masters is 1 year. I'd go mad if I had to spend a minimum of 4 years in university.

>failing Chem
>almost failing statistics

Well at least I learned that statistics isn't so bad. It's literally calculator work. Besides that, I'm done with this semester. Everyday I go to class I just miss staying home, playing/making music and smoking. At least when I transfer (another 3+ possible years of school) I'll focus on my majors

>modafinil still hasn't arrived

honestly I like my history classes since I enjoy learning new shit, and it beats having to jump into the anxiety inducing field of job hunting and all that entails.
if it makes you feel better I switched from CS to history in my 3rd year so at a minimum I have an extra year just for my bachelors and I'd like my masters after that
