Printing during Fall break

I've never printed at school yet, and I'd like to know if I can do so during the upcoming fall break (Sunday or Monday). Are all printing outlets available during that time? Is any outlet as good as any?

Dear Friends at Purdue,

If you live on Purdue campus, it's very likely that the West Lafayette School Board candidates will be on your ballot. I am one of the six candidates, and you can vote for up to four candidates this year.

Below is my campaign video, recorded by my 6th-grade daughter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHHpXNdqMA8.

If you'd like to know more about me to help you make an informed voting decision, please visit my campaign website at yueyin.us. You are also welcome to stop by my "meet and greet" in the community room of Fresh Thyme (2410 N Salisbury St Suite 100, West Lafayette, IN 47906) every Saturday morning from 9:30 to 10:30 until November 2, 2024.

Thank you very much for your kind attention.

All the best,

Yue

How hard is it to switch my major from chemistry to chemical engineering?

I'm an international student interested in Purdue's chemical engineering, however my university agent says that it would be easier for me to apply for chemistry and then change my major to chemical engineering. I have 3.62 unweighted gpa, 3.80 weighted, 1440 sat, and I'm taking another one in november. I got 5s in AP calc ab and AP micro, 4s in AP Chem and AP ES. My ECs are OKAYish but I do lack competitions related to chemistry.

Noisy Neighbors

Hey Folks,

Long story short: My neighbors are partiers and I was wondering if anyone had experience about dealing with situations like these. I don't want to be a Ron (or whatever the male equivalent of a Karen is), but it is clear they have no respect for their neighbors.

Reading West Lafayette's noise ordiance laws if they are be heard from 50 feet away and past 11PM then they violated them. I don't recall if there is a law based on decibels (I know in Lafayette it is 50dB after 10PM, but idk if there is a similar law for West Lafayette). I don't believe they are technically in violation, but here are some details that may be helpful.

  • They are across the street (off, but still near campus). It is not 50ft, but if you are playing music so loud to the point the bass is literally shaking my apartment it is too loud.
  • They start around 7:30-8 and end around 11:30-midnight.
  • It is...every...gosh darn weekend. Thursday through Sunday.

Unfortunately I highly doubt Diplomacy will solve the issue. But is there anything I can do before getting the police involved? Do the police take noise complaints seriously? Do they tend to be more leninant on the weekends?

Thanks everyone.

DRC Accommodations for Chronic Pain?

I'm wondering how difficult it is to get DRC accommodations for chronic pain and mobility issues? I've been dealing with joint hypermobility for years and often dislocate or sublux joints. I didn't think it would be a big deal because I've always managed, but since starting college, I'm realizing I might need some accommodations.

While I don't have a full diagnosis yet (I'm seeing a rheumatologist who suspects a connective tissue disorder and possibly an autoimmune issue), it’s a long process, and I can’t get into a geneticist until 2025. Would a note from my rheumatologist explaining my symptoms and hypermobility be enough for accommodations? Also, what kind of accommodations would you suggest for someone with my condition?

Fun things to do over break?

I was going to go to Chicago, but it's a very expensive trip to plan right before, so I don't think I'm going.

I'd still like to do something fun over break though, but I don't have a car. What are some options? I like city life, but I'm also a fan of outdoorsy plans.

CS240 Midi Project

Years ago, I remember people complaining about a midi project that Turkstra made in cs240. Does anyone have a copy of the project (not the solutions, like the the actual project instructions)? I was always curious as to what the project entailed.

Would MA 266 count for MA 366 credit.

I'm trying to do double major in math and compsci, if I were to take MA 266 could it be used towards my math degree? On the plan of study it says MA 366 but as far as I understand the courses are very similar and some engineering majors have done MA 366 and gotten credit for 266. Anyone have any info on this?
