Let's go Buffalo ! Can't wait to meet everyone!
is anyone looking for roommates?
I just got the acceptance letter today. I'm leaning toward going to UB... if I go I will definitely be looking for roommates.
Would any current students be able to describe the curriculum? Any insight into the amount of scheduled/mandatory activities each day? It looks like there are a lot of tests during first year, approximately once each week.
How helpful are faculty in helping students outside of class with questions, etc.?
Any insight into any of these issues would be awesome!
Thanks
I haven't thought about it yet, b/c I dont know which ones we can choose from. Anyone get this info yet?
Yep.. you're right. Has to be a palm OS device. You all should get something in the mail in a few weeks telling you all about the PDA requirement. You basically have two options:
-Separate PDA (Palm TX or Palm Lifedrive are the 2 best choices)
-PDA/Phone (Palm Treo)
This is the way I look at it. You really don't use the PDA much at all your first 2 years. I have no idea why its required from day 1. Go with your cheapest option for right now (I got the TX because it was on sale somewhere.) In 2 years when you're going into 3rd year and you'll actually use the PDA a lot, the technology is going to be completely different and there will be much better devices out. Thats when you should spend the exttra $$$ and get a really good pda/phone.
Everyone raelly has their own opinions on the matter... what do you think Liz?
Looking at the Class of 2011 thread, here's what they said about PDA's:
That is ridiculous. Why not let us choose which type to buy??
Only buy a PDA if you feel like wasting your money. You won't need it despite what they tell you. Nuff Said.
I thought they made you buy it??
No, they do not make you buy one. They just pressure you to buy one by letting you think it's really important and you won't succeed without it. Like Noeljan said, it will be used on one test and even there it is optional. I would say about 30-50% of my class never bought a PDA.
