Life at Rensselaer

A nice, short week of classes

By Andrew ⋅ September 11, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Thanks to the day off for Labor Day, this was a nice, short week of classes. I was able to use the day off to complete all of my previously assigned work, even that which wasn’t due until the end of this week. As a result, I was able to have some more time to [...]

Done with the second week

By Carlos ⋅ September 11, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

School just started and it’s already flying by so fast that I barely notice the weeks go by. Summer’s over, but the fun is just beginning. School only started on the 31st of August and it’s already the second week. Meeting new people and staying active can definitely speed up any slow moments. So far [...]

I am very excited for Student Orientation to start. So far, we have sent out 1,167 confirmations with more still on their way. Other than getting your forms squared away, we’ve been working hard on getting everything ready for your arrival. A couple of things I’ve been working on are plotting out your class photo during NRB as well as designing the SO Staff T-Shirt. However, that’s just two of the long list of projects lined up for this summer.

RPI gives you so many opportunities to branch out and get involved with practically anything. Personally, I love anything dealing with aviation, so I immediately joined the Rensselaer Aeronautical Federation or RAF.

Ahhhhh … the joys of organic chemistry

Where do I even begin? Well, I guess I already did. As a student you can either be actively involved with campus and have an unforgettable experience, or you can just sit around and play games, and eventually regretting that you never get involved. When my adventure began at RPI, I knew that I wanted [...]

Song Playing: Noots – Sum 41
Okay, so, I am officially deprived of sleep. The other night I had so many things to do that I basically spent the night at the Union with a couple of friends. Even though I was supposed to be getting work done, I wouldn’t say I didn’t have any fun.
