I'm still here.

Lots of sad posts in here about tears in rain and such. Just thought I'd drop by to let you know I still pop in once in a while.

Who else is still out there?

High-Res SPSU Logo

Prior to the 'merger,' I had saved a high-quality photo of the school's logo. I saw some people here asking about merch for SPSU and while you can find some items if you dig deep enough (i.e. I found a hoodie this year online that's pretty great), you can have many companies create custom merch using the logo. For example, I had a seamstress recreate this logo and then sent it to Tervis to create custom SPSU cups.

It's been 5 years since the merger.

Realistically, everyone involved has graduated. Like tears in the rain, all of that drama, the culture, the small college feeling, has been lost to time. The one thing I am more proud of than anything is getting an SPSU diploma. I graduated in the summer of 2015. Last class to be able to choose SPSU or KSU.

Does KSU have SPSU legacy merch?

I heard something about them having legacy merchandise in a small corner of some store maybe. I don't want to drive an hour over there and check it out if they don't.

After 7 years, I have finally graduated

I know this subreddit is basically dead. But no way I was posting it on the KSU one. I signed up for SPSU but unfortunately it won't say SPSU on my degree. I'm just glad it's over.

I've taken chem I and will be taking chem II. How can I practice for chem II?

I took chem I but I don't have my tests anymore. I'm trying to figure out how I can prepare for chem II. Does anyone still have their chem I tests?

Thanks

Advice for incoming freshman (new college student) at KSU SPSU/Marieta Campus.

Hello all, I've read through many if the posts in the sub from the last two years or so. I personally do not have very much contact with SPSU (other than attending a competition for a middle school club known as future city). I understand that many of you were not thrilled about the increased fees and bureaucracy of KSU taking over Southern Poly. Keeping this in mind, do any of you have any valuable advice for a prospective IT major attending classes at the Marietta campus?

Ex: I've even trying to join the formula SAE team but their page on the KSU clubs list seems a little bit out of date with no new posts recently. Is there a specific day where incoming freshman sign up for clubs?

Information Systems Major

I am trying to decide on what major I should take and Information Systems seemed interesting. Does anyone have any thoughts on this major? Is this a good major to take in terms of teachers, classes, and job opportunities?

CS vs Information Systems

I'm a rising freshman and I am trying to decide between these 2 majors. What are the differences? Is 1 of these majors better than the other for finding a job? If you have taken either of these majors, please let me know how it went. Thanks.

What should I be ready for in Digital III ?

I'm really hating the 8051 in Digital II right now. Someone please tell me that Digital III isn't just more assembly programming.

Looking for d&d players!

I'm looking to start up a weekly campaign sometime during the day, probably Thursday or Friday. It would most likely be D&D 5e (that's what I have the most source books for). I can DM, or I can play if someone who is interested wants to DM. I don't have a ton of experience DMing, but I have ran a one-shot as well as a mini-campaign in the past.

Trying to find 3-5 other people to play. 4 would be ideal, but it's flexible. Time is flexible as well, but I'd like to try and wrap up sessions by 6-7pm. PM me or comment if you want more information!

Statics online with Kuemmerle?

I am deciding to take Kuemmerle online for Statics. Any suggestions? I am thinking about dropping it because it is an online course, but I am not certain he gets like a 5.0 on RMP.

Is it possible to complete an engineering degree with taking evening classes only?

Long story short, I recently returned home from the military and I am now a teacher's assistant at a school downtown. I am weighing between completing my degree in education, or engineering. I found a school that will allow me to complete an education degree online, but I would rather complete an engineering degree if I can.

I originally wanted to do CE, but I see they only offer about 80% of the courses you need in the evening, so I wont be able to do that. Is there any major in the engineering department that offers all of it's classes in the evening?

Also, how do you guys feel about online engineering degrees? I've found a few programs accredited by ABET, but they are mostly civil, electrical, nuclear and mechanical engineering technology degrees. Arizona States offers an online EE program, but im not paying almost $2000 per class. Would a engineering technology degree hinder me from getting a job versus a traditional engineering degree?

Looking for a Textbook: 'Managing Systems and IT Projects' by Frank Tsui. Anybody Got It?

Hey all, just doing a quick ask around of all the computer science and software engineering majors before I do something irrational like paying for a textbook. I can compensate you if you really need it, but I'm pretty short on cash as it is. Any volunteers? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

SPSU's Downfall

KSU is now filled with such self-absorbed asshats, that any small criticism of KSU merging with SPSU is frowned upon. SPSU has been dead, but they seem to be beating a dead horse more into the ground here recently, and it's a damned shame. GO HORNETS!

Anyone have access to power tools? Fairly urgent (xpost)

This subreddit hasn't been very active recently so hopefully someone even sees this, but does anyone have access to either (a) an angle grinder, (b) a drill with a few different sized metal-only bits between 5/32 and about 3/8 inch, or (c) a dremel with a bunch of cutting wheels? An angle grinder would probably be best, but any of the three would be a huge help. Would also probably need a chisel.

The ball joint on my truck came apart today so it's not driveable at all right now and it's my only mode of transportation and I commute, so I need to get it fixed ASAP. I have most of the tools/knowledge to do it, but the ball joint is riveted to the control arm and I don't have a way to get it off. I'm in a rough spot financially so I can't afford to just take it to a shop and have them do it, but if someone can help me out by loaning me the tools, I'd be more than happy to throw you some cash or I can buy you some beer and pizza or we can figure something out.

Let me know what you've got if you think you can help, I really appreciate it!

Needed: Female STEM Major Alumni of SPSU or KSU Marietta

I am putting together a Week of Women event on the KSU Marietta campus (formerly SPSU). I would like to invite female STEM Alumni from both schools to talk about the experiences after college. If any of you are or know someone who fits this description please DM me. The events for Week of Women are to encourage women in STEM since we are the severe majority on campus and it would be great to hear from women who have graduated and have experience with flourishing in a sometimes unsupportive workforce. Thank you!

Off campus housing areas?

Hello everyone, next semester I'm planning on living off-campus with 3 of my other friends to split the cost of living. What are some decent places to live at? I think budget-wise, I'd be sitting at 500 to 600 dollars including rent and utilities.
