Hello! Incoming Frosh recently received an email about move in instructions with the fact that from

8am-12pm its check in infront of their dorms outdoor location.

From 1pm-5pm you obtain your suid and your key at your housing center.

So basically, what I’m trying to ask is, from the 8am-12pm since we have no key, is the whole point to just say we’re on campus, or is there another value to arriving early? Does this also mean that we won’t be able to to put anything in our dorm until 1pm-5pm once we get our key?

If both of these things are true, would it be better to arrive closer to 12 to not have to wait too long until 1?

Thank you for your time!

anyone have a dentist they’ve gone to and liked in the area?

I know there's an influx of posts from frosh asking for feedback on their schedules, sorry to be another one! I'm a first gen college student so literally all my knowledge comes from Reddit. Thanks in advance!

I know this is pretty heavy in terms of units, but I've taken a lot of these classes before so I'm not sure if that'll lessen the load compared to learning this for the first time.

- Math 21: 4 units (already took BC but it's been like three years)

- Chem 31A: 5 units (already took AP Chem but same issue as above)

- FRENLANG 3: 5 units (heritage French speaker who somehow did not place out of the language requirement 💀💀)

- COLLEGE: 3 units

- Frosh 101: 1 unit

Chem 31 a

Introsem

PWR (assigned)

COLLEGE 101 (assigned)

Im concerned this sxhedule may be too seminar heavy/boring. lmk ur guys thoughts!

Hi! Current incoming grad student currently trying to schedule my classes for the upcoming quarter. At my undergrad, we had a program that enabled us to see prof/course reviews and I was wondering about a preferred Stanford equivalent, since carta has literally never loaded for me, and on course is currently saying “this deployment is temporarily paused” . Thank you!!

I am planning on majoring in Human Biology, Biology, or Psychology as a premed. Is this a managable schedule while also leaving time for clubs/socializing?

CHEM 31A (5)
PSYCH 1 (5)
FROSH 101 (1)
COLLEGE 101 (3)

im an incoming freshman at stanford interested in pre-med, but since there are a lot of majors you can choose for med, i am still undecided.

for that reason, i am unsure what classes i should take fall quarter. it seems like everyone alr knows which major they r doing (cs, ee, hum bio), and thus they r able to take classes to start fulfilling major requirements.

how do i choose what classes to take if i genuinely don't know what i plan to major in?

Found this link to a course by Bill Dally given in Sp '11 on Interconnection Networks

http://cva.stanford.edu/classes/ee382c/

The webpage includes this link to a lecture recording http://cva.stanford.edu/classes/ee382c/videos/lecture01.mp4 , but it does not work

Anybody happen to know if they moved these lectures to another domain? Would greatly appreciate it

I was wondering if there are any frosh classes/popular classes where technology is banned (so no laptops or ipads). I’m planning to take notes with an ipad, and I’m not sure if I’ll also need to get notebooks. For reference, I’m planning to take math51, college, pwr, econ50, etc

for a prospective cs + philosophy double major (but i'm very open to switching it up as most stanford students do!!)

cs 106a (i took AP CSA in high school but don't rly remember anything; wanna refresh), spanlang 1a (have to take spanish for my foreign language requirement), being human in an ai world (introsem), and frosh 101

is this good? any thoughts? thinking of doing math 51 in winter quarter along with 106b in winter quarter. COLLEGE and PWR both in winter / spring

hello! im an incoming frosh and here are the courses i am looking to take this quarter:

- cs106ax (5 units)*

- math21 (4 units)

- college101 (3 units)

- intro sem (3 units)

- engr1 (1 unit)

- frosh 101 (1 unit)

for a total of 17 units

i'd like to do symbolic systems and potentially an electrical engineering minor! would really appreciate any feedback on the course selection! additionally, since i have some coding experiences in python and c++ (but cannot directly take cs106b), i thought i would take cs106ax instead of cs106a. would that be a good idea? how different are the two in terms of difficulty? thank you guysss!!

A federal judge in California ruled that the Trump administration violated the Constitutional rights of international students when it sought to deport them for criticizing Israel’s war in Gaza.

In a 90-page ruling, Judge Noël Wise found that the key legal foundations that the Trump administration had relied on to arrest and deport foreign students were unconstitutional, because Trump officials had wielded them to target students who used their freedom of speech to express opinions that the government did not like.

Thoughts on this schedule for fall? (I’m planning to major in BioE)

BIOE 44
BIO 83
COLLEGE 101
STATS 110

I’m premed and I’m transferring in all of the required physics and math coursework (except STATS), as well as CHEM 31A + 31B. I’m just not sure whether I should take 3 classes and ease into Stanford or take a fuller load and try to stay ahead.

I was looking to take CS 107 as I’ve never taken a systems class, but I see that CS 106B is a prerequisite. I have no interest in learning C++ and would like to avoid it if I could. I only have experience programming in Python though. I’ve also done some DSA. Is it fine to just take CS107? Or do I really need 106B?

I have noticed the Old Union has been closed on the weekends the past few weeks. Is it open today?

Should I take Physics 45 this autumn quarter ? Anyone who has taken this course before?

Hi all, does anyone know if Stanford's medical center does tests for TB? I've done a TB test in the past but the Vaden clearance says it's invalid because it's over 6 months old (I did it a year ago).

I'm nervous because I won't be able to get a test done in time before I get to Stanford, and was wondering if anyone knows if there's an on-campus health centre that allows me to do the TB test (the Quantiferon Gold TB Blood Test/T-SPOT TB Blood Test)?

Also, does anyone know if Vaden has put enrolment on hold because of this?

I'm a rising senior looking at doing a post-graduation quarter for the upcoming spring. I have the credits to graduate after the winter, and I'm not working on a coterm and would like to avoid paying $22k in tuition for unnecessary credits.

If you or someone you know took a post-grad quarter, I'd love hearing about it. I'm curious if there's any associated costs other than housing, food, and the $150 graduation quarter fee. I'd also like to know what these people tend to do during the quarter. Doing an internship in Palo Alto or nearby would probably be my highest preference.

Anyone know the size of desks in rinconada? Also please drop pictures of your rinconada room if you have any

Can't find the class on oncourse or navigate. Why did Stanford decide not to offer probably the most popular cs class which is always offered every qtr???????

For context: I applied as a humanities student, and I'm generally very interested in exploring how the human mind works & how that relates to different forms of artistic expression/social policy/technology.

At Stanford, I'm tentatively thinking about studying SymSys, or consider double majoring in 1 humanity + 1 stem. But I'm pretty open to just exploring around.

I was assigned to take the 2 COLLEGE courses in Fall and Winter Quarter, and PWR1 in Spring.

For Autumn classes, I'm thinking—

• COLLEGE 101 (3)
• SYMSYS-1: Minds and Machines (4)
• MATH-21: Calculus (4)
  • (I didn't take AP Cal BC in high school, so cannot skip. I don't think I'll go into a math-heavy major, but I feel like MATH21 is a prereq for most quantative analysis related courses in stem)
• A 4-5 unit course in english/complit/history/creative writing?

TOTAL: 15-16 units

Some Questions:

• I might wanna take CS 106A in the winter, or would it be better to swap to my Autumn schedule?
• How does this schedule look? Is this reaching a bit too broadly into too many fields? 
• Does anyone have advice on a general framework regarding course selection, or long-term planning for when to declare major(s)/start thinking about career path?
• I did a lot of creative writing (poetry) in high school. Are there any recommended workshops/classes?
• Any recommended courses that fit my interest in general?

Thank you so much for reading!!

Hi fellow Redditors! I am a incoming Statistics MS grad student.

My first question is kinda general. My undergrad institution uses a semester system, so I am a little bit confused about the quarter system here. How many credit hours do yall typically take per quarter? In my undergrad institution, an average student take ~15 credit hours per semester. But I've heard Stanford student here (at least for undergrad) also take ~15 credit hours per quarter. How does this math work out? Is the assumed time requirement per credit hour different in a quarter system compared to semester system? Otherwise, doesn't students in quarter system learn 1.5x as much as those in semester system per academic year?

My next question is about statistics courses. I have taken some basic statistics-related courses such as regression analysis, theoretical courses (parametric and non-parametric), probability, etc. in undergrad. I also have some background in real analysis (that is, I've taken real analysis 1 and 2 and passed them, but the grades aren't super high). I know basic programming in Python and R of course. Would STATS 305A be too challenging for me? I've heard it is the most beginner friendly course in the statistics PhD sequence, but I am not sure if it'd still be too challenging.

Thanks everyone in advance!

Hello all! As the title suggests, I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out my schedule for this fall as a frosh. I'm trying to make comfortable progress academically, but I also want to leave time for socialization and getting used to Stanford. Currently, my schedule plan is:

Math 61DM (5), CS 106B (5), COLLEGE 101 (3), and an IntroSem (3),

for a total of 16 units. I'm looking to major in math, CS, data science, or somewhere in that area.

My biggest concern is that I won't be able to keep up in Math 61. I would say that I have relatively moderate experience with math: ~100 on AMC 12, 6 on AIME, and I've found all my high school math classes (multivariable and diff eq) very easy. I'm still not sure if I'd be cut out for Math 61, though. Would y'all happen to have advice?

I'm also concerned that Math 61 and CS 106B will take up too much time. I believe I'm qualified for 106B (5 on AP CSA), but I know that it's a big time commitment. I could petition to change my COLLEGE quarter, but I don't know if that's a good idea.

As of right now, if this courseload is too much, I might a) drop down to Math 51, b) take CS 106B in winter, or c) not take COLLEGE or an IntroSem this fall. I'd greatly appreciate any and all advice. Thanks!
