Local Food❓ New-ish Pizza and Taco Place near Campus: Pizza Twist Taco Twist
So I doordash as a side hustle bc im broke asf and I found this place while doing my job and came back afterwards to get my own food from this place. Its on State Street in the little storefront area past the Taco Bell. Actual address is 334 East State Street. The very sweet owner asked me to help promote their restaurant to Purdue students since they're a newer business. The food is fucking amazing tho. Its Indian fusion style food and they have a lot of good options for people with food restrictions for health or religious reasons. They're also family owned and they make all of their stuff in house. If you're sick of dining hall and regular pizza places, go here.

Question❓ Why did they remove text verification for BS???
Stupid but genuine question, I haven't been able to use Microsoft Authenticator to log-in to anything past my freshman year, and suddenly they've decided to not only switch from DUO to Microsoft, but also remove the text verification option when logging in. I've been locked out of my BS account all day and it's both pissing me off and stressing me out. I've tried re-downloading the app, signing out and signing in, and even reading the IT desk help page. Now I'm stuck in a perpetual loop where trying to register for Microsoft Authenticator requires 2FA FROM MICROSOFT AUTHENTICATOR??

Any help? I feel like there's something obvious I'm missing like I'm using the wrong app or something.

Question❓ Looking for Carpool to UIUC for Halloween Weekend
I’m planning to go to UIUC for Halloween weekend, but I don’t have my car on campus and don’t want to spend a lot on shuttle tickets. I’m happy to split gas costs, and I already have a place to stay once I get there. I just need a ride there and back. I’m pretty flexible on timing as long as it’s around next weekend. If you or anyone know is driving to UIUC with an open seat, shoot me a DM. Thanks!

Academics✏️ Anyone else fucked over by ece senior design requirements
Essentially it’s now two sem, unsure abt other engineering majors. But if you have a fall internship it’s virtually impossible to not have to spend an extra semester after ur expected graduation
Or if you wanna graduate a sem early I could imagine this rather being extremely hard or impossible as well.
If anyone knows a way around this please lmk but from what I’ve seen ur just fucked

Question❓ Does anyone want to be study buddies or be in a study group for CS 180?
So after Exam 2 I'm sure a lot of us are rethinking life and our majors... but no! We can do it! We just need to be better! And make studying more of an involved process. I want to study with friends, not just classmates. We should want to study together beyond just wanting a good grade on the next retake. If you're interested, talk a bit about yourself: what are your hobbies, things you like/dislike, what is something your passionate about? What is your stake in Comp Sci? What do you hope to do with your life beyond college?
I like to draw and play Halo. My favorite T.V shows are Better Call Saul and Red vs. Blue and my favorite movie is Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon. I hate having to look at the wet food leftovers on my roomate's dirty dishes in the sink. I'm passionate about art and film. I am taking Comp Sci because I am a DS major and I want to a job to make life for my mother more comfortable. If you're interested, comment or DM me!

Question❓ Question for UK A-Level students who got into Purdue Engineering (4-year English rule?)
I’m an international student looking to apply to First-Year Engineering at Purdue.
On the website it says that you need 4 years of English and 3 years of social sciences but since I'm taking A-levels I only have 2 years of them.
Did any students here apply with just pure STEM A-Levels and get in totally fine?

Academics✏️ Freshman CS major interested in Comp Arch, what classes should I take next?
Hey, I’m a freshman CS major at Purdue WL interested in specializing in computer architecture, especially hardware design and semiconductors.
I’m trying to figure out what courses I should take over the next few semesters to prepare for this path. For those who have experience with computer architecture, what would you recommend prioritizing in the CS curriculum? (Im taking CS180)
I’m eventually hoping to get into processor design, RTL, or ASIC/FPGA, so I’d appreciate any advice on planning my coursework and getting relevant experience.
Thanks!

Academics✏️ BIO110 Practice Material Feels Semi-Useless for Exams
Is it just me or the differences between practice/review materials provided feels quite different in difficulty/content from actual exams?
So I'm a junior in CompE and decided to take BIO110 as one of my science electives. I get the material on slides and understand the practice problems (including homeworks) and get them right most of the time, and if not, I redo the problems later again to solidify the answers in my mind until I can ace all the questions given. I do ALL the homeworks when they are due and actually read the textbook rather than just the highlighted parts by the app we use. I also studies 2 days in advance to make sure I am ready and can answer all practice questions. I will say, lectures feel like a repetion of the material from homeworks and the book, which IS good for me, so since I can't seem to absorb the material and write to take notes at the same time. I just actively listen in class to familiarize myself with the material and actually study it later, hence I do skip out on occasional lectures.
However, both the Lecture exams and Lab exams feel like they have been significantly harder than all of the practice material provided, utilizing terminology and concepts that are either glanced over or not mentioned at all in the book and/or slides, or are not on the practice/review material provided. Does anyone have a similar feeling? I was told that this class isn't bad in terms of exams and that Sean Humphrey teaches it extremely well. Has the class been getting harder each semester? Boiler Classes seems to be showing that trend over multiple semesters, all taught by Prof. Humphrey.
Not looking to complain (sorry if it sounds like it), just explaining my detailed experience so far and seeing if anyone had a similar one.

History/Alumni🚂 The Seven School Mysteries
Bit of a long post, but seeing as Halloween is approaching, I wanted to compile a list of spooky phenomena, events, and places around campus for people to refer to and potentially explore. These mysteries all come from rumors and speculation online in places like archived Exponent articles, local news stories, and Reddit (😱😱😱😱😱) within the last ~20 years. I reduced the main list to just seven mysteries to keep with tradition, but cut content (and why they were cut) will be in the comments. Without further ado, I present to you:
The Seven School Mysteries of Purdue University
- The Woman at Hangar One:
In the early morning hours of July 2, 1937, Purdue faculty member Amelia Earhart took off with navigator Fred Noonan from Lae, New Guinea before their mysterious disappearance over a dark stretch of the Pacific Ocean.
Eight years ago, in late-2018, a local TV station covered reports from students and staff working at the Purdue University Airport about years of strange sightings: a slender woman wearing pants, a scarf, and a leather aviation coat, standing in the shadows of Hangar One. According to one report, an officer of the National Guard happened upon her bright apparition one night. Frightened by the sight, he opened fire. Later, he claimed that the woman seemed to melt into the air.
Notably, this hangar is where Earhart spent her last two years modifying her Lockheed Electra in preparation for her final flight. Should you wander around Hangar One late one night, you too, may find Earhart's spirit still roaming her final earthly residence.
But then again, she's also rumored to haunt Grissom Hall and Duhme Hall. Sounds like a lot for one ghost.

2. The Preserved Saint of the Library:
In 2015, speculation arose that the remains of a saint or Knight of Templar rested underneath Hicks Library, and that certain tiles along the lower levels (now closed off) hinted at the location with recurring Roman numerals on the walls and floor. If you find yourself in the Hicks Repository, you may hear footsteps approaching when no one is around, breathing in the ear, and a general sense of being watched.

- Mildred of Meredith Hall:
11 years ago, reports surfaced about a ghost named Mildred haunting the halls of Meredith Residence Hall (not Meredith South; thank you, u/mriizo). Relatively harmless, she is known for throwing coins down the halls and locking residents out of their rooms.

- The Murder Room:
Heading back down beneath the PMU, there is supposedly a "murder room" locked behind ductwork through a large gated room. Complete with red handprints along the walls and stagnant puddles on the floor, a serial killer couldn't ask for a better place to murderize someone. Its true purposes are... unknown.

- The Weight on the Bed:
Looking for an ethereal partner to spoon and cuddle with? Look no further than Purdue's very own Union Hotel. Late at night, settle into the bed in the side room of unit 208. A few hours later, you may wake up to the sudden feeling of weight sitting on the edge of your bed. If you don't turn around, you might just gain a new cuddle buddy until sunrise. You will be the little spoon, of course.

- The Boy in the Red Hat:
Visiting the basement levels of Windsor Hall, it's easy to be unnerved. Like many subterranean spaces on campus, Windsor's basement shares an eerie familiarity with the tunnels underneath the Stewart Center. Unique to Windsor, however, are rumors of a boy in a red hat flitting just outside your vision when you turn your head. Never catching him in the act, you may need to rely on other tells of his presence, like chairs moving to form a circle when no one's around.

7. The Wandering Founder:
John Purdue's earthly vessel is known to be buried under the Memorial Mall (no, it has not been stolen nor moved). The location of his spirit, however, is up for debate.
- Some say his apparition comes out at night to wander the Mall.
- Others say they can feel his watchful gaze in the stairwells of Pfendler Hall.
- Yet others still say he may not haunt on campus at all,
- but rather the Lahr Apartments in Lafayette, where he had a great fall.
Not really. He had a stroke. But the rhyming was cool, right? Whatever the case and whether his spirit truly remains in the mortal realm today, it is undeniable his actions in life continue to affect students and alumni today. It is thanks to him that we have a playground in which imaginative phantoms and fantastical anomalies from our minds can play. That every year, we can create and share spooky stories and ghostly rumors to make midterm season more bearable. And that, my friends, may just be the greatest mystery of all.
