On the Business side I'm taking like Organization and Management, Business Communications and Process and Systems Management right now-- they're required core classes. Pretty interesting to see a lot of social psychology in action. Bio is a ridiculous amount of memorization. Holy hell signalling pathways. | ||

We have a major called management engineering. pretty much your double major in one. You'll get made fun of (along with civil engineers) for taking an "easy" major though hahaha. | ||

The "shame" and "embarrassment" of doing an easy major is the absolute worst thing about engineering school culture. There's no glory and just foolish pride in putting yourself through something hard just for the sake of a challenge. I had to learn this the hard way when I toiled through years of CS hating every moment of it and having my gpa ruined. | ||

We just joke a tad because all the football players are civil or management engineering. everyone knows that all majors are difficult. the only people who we question are the 5 people who graduate with a bachelor of arts degree. why go to WPI for humanities? that's just dumb.

Had an Engineering room mate first year... one of those guys who proudly displays his Stephen Hawking book on his desk, regularly boasts about his IQ of 150 and constantly (I mean at every chance he could get) belittled every major that wasn't Engineering or Physics. Hated that fucker. Future Engineers of the world, don't be that guy. Just don't. | ||

I have a friend who has a double major in journalism and art and I joke with her about her "useless" degree, but she couldn't have received a better degree for who she is. at the end of the day, that's what matters. I got my CS degree to pursue my passion of video games, which I know many people (no one here I'm sure) would deem as "useless." the only joke degrees are the ones that people get, but don't even enjoy or use. | ||

I hope there were more "upsets" than how it is currently. In most cases, even if I lose, those games are the best. As funny as the chat sometimes is, it's not that great. First all in was Kurama, that got me up to 2k+ with lower than starting money. I forget the exact amount and opponent sadly. That was my first time on it(like 5th or 6th bet), and it provided me with a hilarious upset. I lost it all playing around afterwards since I didn't know anything. | ||

Business isn't too hard admittedly though. | ||
