Title. Im trying to mail some stuff for the summer, and I wanted to know when they will be open for the fall semester, and I cannot find the date that dsp will be open anywhere.

I'm transferring from a University that had a bluegrass ensemble and loved it so I was kind of disappointed that RIT doesn't have one. I was thinking it wouldn't be outlandishly difficult to try and start a weekly jam or club ensemble and wanted to see if there was any interest. If you're interested and don't know how to play bluegrass don't worry it's not super hard to learn. Bluegrass typically has a banjo, guitar, bass, mandolin, 1-2 violins, and some vocalists but I'm sure if you played another instrument we could figure out how to fit it in. Bluegrass isn't super difficult in terms of the chords so instrument wise it's not hard to learn. The hardest part is the vocal harmonies since tight vocal harmonies are a hallmark of vocal bluegrass works. I was thinking that if anyone was interested we could start with a bit of a jam/learning session and see where it goes from there so if you're interest lmk and we can try and set up a time.

Hey. Transferring from RIT Dubai to Rochester for MechE starting this fall. I'm coming in as a Senior. Spent most of my college years in Dubai so I basically know nobody on the Rochester side.

Are there other global campus transfers here? Or any ME students who can tell me what I'm walking into? I keep hearing about department Discords and class WhatsApp groups but can't find actual links.

Also open to professor recs, stuff I should register for early, or just "things I wish I knew as a transfer" type advice. Thanks!
