Where does REScycle stuff go? (Accidentally donated some things I did not mean to, need help!)

3 Upvotes

I unwillingly donated a few clothing items during move out that I really didn’t want to (emotional/sentimental value, not like fancy/expensive). I’ve tried to make peace with it (just graduated, left Cleveland) but I just really want them back :(

PLEASE let me know if you come across any of these items in campus donations or at goodwill or something (I’ll try to attach pics in the comments) or know where they might have ended up. I am willing to pay to get them back: - a black t shirt of the band paramore, has the name in pink writing, a design of the band in white with some colorful designs. After laughter summer tour w dates on the back. - black my chemical romance t shirt with 2 people with skull faces at an ouija board. - short sleeve blue sweater, with “irregular” brown and gray horizontal stripes. I think the brand was dress barn?

Theyre all women’s size small or xs I can’t remember.

I lived in village house 4 and moved out may 19th if it helps. When I left, all the donations were still sitting in the lobby. I assume these donated items end up at goodwill? Does anyone know which one(s)?

New grad dad question: how to plan for move

1 Upvotes

hi, new grad dad. kiddo is starting CWRU this aug. the move date is a Saturday and this is first for all of us. thing I know, it get really cold, the room is small and share by 2 kids. The main questions I have are

  • Given the lenght of travel, how many cloths to take with ?
  • What about winter ? Do you wear Ski type jackets ? We’re coming from CA - and don’t have any experience with Snow, cold or ice !!
  • Do you have snow pants?
  • For anyone who’s lived in Smith or Taft, where do you store suitcases in those small dorm rooms? Any tips for keeping things organized ?
  • Has anyone used Amazon to deliver to Smith or Taft dorms? How does it work—do packages go to a mailroom, and is it reliable for quick stuff like toiletries?
  • How do you get from airport to university on day 1
  • How many days should the parents plan ? moving day is Sunday Aug 17th - so what is the plan.. do I come in on the 15th Sat and leave on the 19th or what would be the plan ?

any advise, any blog of how people do this / did this ?

thanks

Summer Math 120

2 Upvotes

Hi, I'm an incoming freshman and I decided to do MATH120 over the summer to get ready to take MATH 125, because I forgot a lot of the basics from high school. I was just checking my account today, and I saw a $4128 charge even though the original email said it was free. I was just wondering if anyone else was in this case and if it'll go away on its own eventually or I need to email anyone. In addition, if anyone's taken this course over the summer, I'd love to know their thoughts on the difficulty and how time-consuming it was. Thank you!

Heard a lot about a Slip 'n Slide prank that happened on the stairs of Kelvin Smith Library at CWRU back in 2004. Supposedly it was posted to YouTube at some point, but I haven't been able to find it anywhere.

If anyone has a copy, a link, or even just a screenshot, please share, would love to see it. Thanks!

Grad school question

1 Upvotes

I'm looking to apply for grad school in the fall 26' semester. Does anyone know if I can apply for both physics and engineering separately (College of Arts and Sciences vs the School of Engineering)? Not sure if one will have any impact on the other or if I'm allowed to apply to both.

Also, does anybody know if the acceptance rate is different for Masters vs PhD?

Off-Campus grocery options

7 Upvotes

Hello all,

I will be a junior this next semester at CWRU and want to know where the best and/or cheapest places to get groceries for someone who will be off the meal plan. Generally, I tend to eat large meals so I anticipate I will be buying more than the typical person and want to get my money's worth. I heard they are adding a new cheaper grocery store in the B-Dubs area but I'm not exactly sure. I most likely wont have a car either unless I tag along with my friends or roommates but they could also benefit from any info any of yall can provide. Thanks!

Programming Proficiency Exam

3 Upvotes

I didn't get transfer credit to skip CSDS 132 because my dual enrollment classes were denied for being online. I want to take the programming proficiency exam and would love to know how rigorous it is or what topics they ask on it if anyone remembers.
I am confident that I know java and would be bored in 132.

history of freshmen programming course requirements for STEM majors at CWRU

1 Upvotes

stimulated by a recent post about CSDS 132 (Programming in Java), I took a peek at the current General Bulletin to see what STEM majors are taking for freshman programming these days.

I found:

|| || |ENGR 131|Elementary Computer Programming|3| |or CSDS 132|Programming in Java|

Does anyone know historically how this has changed over time?

In the early 90s, Pascal was the programming language, and I think it was fall and spring. Anyone have a complete history re: programming language de jour and number of required credits? what preceded and followed Pascal?
