I took my first calc 1 exam and I for sure failed, honestly probably got below a 30
Its worth 20% of my grade and my professor doesnt drop any grades.
Am i cooked? Ive honestly lost all hope and really feel like theres no chance im able to stay above a 3.0 this year now
All my friends say calc is their easiest class but i really got cooked, i understand IEA and Chem more but theres still no shot im keeping a 3.0 now
200W HP laptop charger left on tables on 4th floor. I'm bringing it to the front desk lost and found!
I recently got into the CDPHP cycling app. The bike racks I've seen so far have e-bikes, but I'm looking to start using an actual pedalbike. Might anyone here know which bikes racks have any? Thanks.
Title is self explanatory. I’m on campus so feel free to DM me if you are able to meet me somewhere so I can buy it off of you
Freshman here taking my first exams and it’s not going well. How do I do better on exams and any tips? Physics was the worst, the multiple choice extremely unforgiving.
I got an email that says I got the founders award of excellence. But I just don’t believe it. Like is that a scam or a real email? Anybody else get this email?

Does anyone have any notes, crib sheets, or back exams that may be helpful for exam 1?

Hello, I'm looking for a subleaser for spring 2025!
The rent is $525. It is part of a house with three rooms where you will be subleasing some of the rooms. The house has a common kitchen, bathroom, dining room, living room, and storage room. It's a 1 minute walk to campus (by Big Apple) with a great and reliable landlord.
DM if interested!
I’d like to preface that I’m not a very innovative or creative person at ALL.
That being said I am struggling with coming up with a current problem solvable with a futuristic innovation for the class project. If anyone has day to day problems they would like to voice or any creative ideas I could use as a starting point I’m all ears!
Why tf would they block off the parking lot I paid $130 to use? I was late to class today because of it.
It’s so nice out right now, are there any places on campus where you can study I usually need a table and an outlet to charge my laptop because the battery life is really bad.
Is the RPI counseling center helpful? I have a lot going on and I feel very alone and dk where to turn. School is hard and making friends is hard and I’m estranged from my parents so I can’t exactly ask them for any help with money to get a real therapist. Is the counseling center helpful at all?
I've been wanting to get into dirt biking and maybe buy a bike. Does anyone here dirt bike or know anyone who does? I'm mainly looking for someone I can go riding with and who knows some stuff about the sport. I don't believe there's a club for this, closest thing is mountain biking w/ the cycling club.
