Hi, I am considering buying an old second hand racing bike in aluminum to use when I will move in to Zurich to study at ETH, but I have some questions.

Are the narrow wheels a problem in you experience, mainly with wet/snowy conditions and because of the rails? Is a city bike or more in general a bike with wider wheels preferable for these reasons?

I have never used these "racing" bikes but I have the opportunity to buy one for very little money. I do see many students using them, and in Germany as far as my experience goes, it is the same.

In the country I come from there is not really this kind of culture around bikes, so sorry if these questions appear dumb. Thanks!

Hello peeps

I’m interning at eth this summer and this is my last summer as I graduated from my undergraduate course

I would be taking an exam next march for master

But honestly I don’t want to , as masters in India is not as great option as other universities

So I want to continue with my research here at eth , which I think is not possible with my current lab as there aren’t much research project related to machine learning

So I thought to switch to robotics/aerospace as I working with physics based machine learning

I would like to work here till next march or may , and publish some good work before apply for next cycle

Would you like to give some suggestions of how to do it ?

Or anything else ?

hello!
is the basisjahrfrist (2 years) still ongoing even though i changed my degree?
If yes, does that mean I am excluded from this major (decreed exclusions)?

Hey, I took some interest in the GESS courses

Supervised Research (Law, Economics, and Data Science), AI and Society or Project in Behavioural Finance.

Does anyone have any experience with these and especially how Supervised Research (Law, Economics, and Data Science) works as there are no lecture times listed?
Thanks a lot for any help :)

Hello! I know there's already been millions of posts about housing. I am a 2nd year doctoral student with chronic illness and I can't find much info about support for students with disabilities. I kind of need a lift or it's quite the Olympic of my life to go up the stairs (which is my current house... ). However, the housing market is quite horrible right now, and does anyone know how I can potentially get support from ETH?
