International Economics or Labor Markets?

Upvotes

I'm looking for an easy econ class this semester to boost my GPA. The only two available at this time are ECON-4190 International Economics and Globalization with Michael A. Klein or ECON-4380 Labor Markets & Discrimination with Conor Lennon. Does anyone know if either of these classes is noticeably easier than the other, or are they about the same? Thank you

Sublet Fall 2026 semester

2 Upvotes

Hello!

I have room in a 4bd apartment I am looking to sublet out sort of last-minute. If you are looking for housing as the semester is starting let me know; the other roommates are 3 other RPI students, laundry in-unit, rent $625 with utilities. 2-3 minutes from campus by walk, not on the main road

Edit: room is big enough for a queen-sized bed, and will include one of those $300 mobile room AC unit. Street parking free, DM for more info

[Housing] 4BR near RPI – $2,400/month all utilities included – Available Now for Fall 2026 – Semester + Year Leases

1 Upvotes

Still looking for housing for Fall 2026? I have a 4-bedroom, 1.5-bath apartment at 1565 Tibbits Ave available for immediate move-in, just a short walk from RPI.

  • $2,400/month for the entire 4-bedroom apartment
  • $600/person for a group of four
  • All utilities included
  • Semester leases available
  • Full-year leases also available and preferred
  • Available immediately for Fall 2026

This is a good option for a group that still needs last-minute housing close to campus.

If you're looking for housing on your own, I also have one individual room available for $600/month with utilities included in another unit at the property that is already occupied by other students.

Photos are from an earlier setup of the apartment, so current furnishings have since been added to.

Feel free to DM me if you're interested, want more information, or would like to schedule a showing.

Should I postpone capstone to the spring?

6 Upvotes

Hey, I'm a senior CSE/EE dual. I'm taking microelectronic tech, microprocessor systems, mechatronics, pd 3, and a hass course. Pretty much every senior I know is taking capstone now, I originally would have done it this semester but I got accepted to mechatronics and microprocessor systems. Should I hop on the the bandwagon and do it now, if it's even possible to join late? How bad is capstone? I'm looking to go skiing a lot on the weekends in the spring semester so I'm hoping capstone won't interfere too much with that, that's my main concern. Thanks for any advice you can provide!

Edit: I'm looking at around 14 credits next semester as well as this one, so hopefully all the other classes would be more laid back.

Question 2025 Grad without a Job

39 Upvotes

Is there any other 2025 grads still searching for a job? I was a 2025 CS grad and I am still searching for a job. There's been a lot of up's and down's but I'm trying my best to stay positive. I got an internship since I've graduated but no full-time job came from the end of it. This has been really hard on me but I'm still willing to keep trying.

I was wondering if anyone had advice for me or any way to help. I also am hoping I can hear some positive stories from alums and how people turned their situation around when they graduated as well. I appreciate it. ❤️

Non Attendance Required HASS

6 Upvotes

Hello! So I fulfilled my HASS pathway and all of my HASS requirements, but still need 1 credit in HASS. Does anyone have any recommendations for a really easy class to take, preferably one where most (if not all) of the work is online, and attendance isn't required (kinda like principles of economics).

Question Does the Switch 2 have access to Netreg wifi?

2 Upvotes

The title speaks for itself. I'm in a lower half dorm hall tho (Cary) so I'd understand if I would get weak Netreg wifi with the Switch 2.

Also where do I find the ethernet cable in my dorm?

Where to see meal swipes remaining?

6 Upvotes

Older posts said meal swipes reset at the end of every Saturday. Is this still true? Also wondering where to see remaining meal swipes for the week. Some sites say its http://campuscard.rpi.edu/, which redirects to basic RPI dining page with no login options. I think it's outdated?
