  1. just saw the campus last week when I was up for Spring Break. i must say it was fantastic, city life, and everyone there seemed super-nice. the campus tour was pretty thrilling. i really look forward to attending this upcoming fall!
  2. new york lol, i was born in Canada in Guelph, Ontario this is just homecoming time for me lol
  3. oh baby i cant wait to visit, going up during spring break!
  4. ah ok so could I just use my toronto student number that I got from my letter of acceptance to get a UtorID, or should I wait to hear back since I sent in my paperwork for acceptance?

    recommendations for bars in Toronto?
  8. any recommendations where to stay close by campus other than the grad house?
  9. UofT for the win!!!! mad excited
  10. Professor Liu is currently teaching our Senior Design class for undergraduate seniors. He is a great guy, really friendly, and I like how he operates: he sets small goals that are feasible and helps you get there, without expecting huge big jumps. Also he is one of the few in the USA who helped secure a 6million grant for his group back in Stanford. I am sure he would be an excellent PI to work with! *As for everyone else: The surroundings aren't the best, but keep in mind NYC is roughly 55 mins away by car, or 1.5hours by train, so I guess it makes up for it.
  11. ah good to hear there are more of us what do you guys think of the Grad House on campus? I was thinking of getting housing there.
  12. i am a domestic ya id suggest traveling to nyc downtown since its much more lively stony brook itself is a dead city...without a car its gonna really get depressing in my opinion. id recommend buying a car with ur stipend if u can dont know much else abt stony since i am from buffalo hope that helped liu is a great professor
  13. BME department is great. Ranked in top 20 in the United States. Faculty is doing some really interesting stuff. Professor Liu is from Stanford and his research in optics is really cool. I would recommend it, but personally I can't stand the depressing environment and that is why I am headed to Toronto for my graduate studies in BME. all the best dude.

    any suggestions for a good cell phone provider? looking for unlimited talk/text (international text), unlimited incoming for the downtown toronto area
  15. i dont think the 50k is worth it for a MEng with no thesis. Its better to find a school that is funding you in my opinion (and go for master's with thesis or Ph.D.), even if Cornell is an Ivy. I hate Cornell because it seems they are just rejecting everyone applying for Master's and Ph.D. and trying to get the rejects to do MEng so they can profit out of them, with no supported funding. Screw Cornell, and find another school.
  16. haha cool there can't be just 2 grad students going? we need to have a new grad student party when we get on campus!
  17. im gonna agree with everything the post above says,,,been here since last 4 years for undergraduate... city is dead, not much to do around, campus pretty meh definitely not going here for grad school
