I need some help figuring out if I'm fucking up with Financial Aid for school
I'm going to a public state school in PA for a Bachelor of Science and am staying on campus with a meal plan etc. In total my bill per semester is about $16k but my financial aid only covers about $10k meaning I would have to take out a loan for $6k each semester.
I am going to be a Sophomore in the Fall and I remember my mom saying she took out around $14k for me in the Parent PLUS loan last year, meaning if I have take out another $12k to pay this year I would already be at $25k+ on debt not including the non PLUS loans.

And from googling around $20k-$40k in debt is what people typically finish school with, not have by Sophomore year. I'm wondering if I'm just retarded and this is normal or there is something wrong. I made a similar post here before and someone blamed it on "The College Experience" being more expensive than normal, but I don't think that's it.

Pls no bully

Why does it look like my student debt after graduation is going to be above average?

Average is like $30K but I'm pretty sure the loans me and my parents have taken out are already nearly above that and I'm only a Sophomore
Do most people have scholarships or something that pay for $10K of their expenses a year or something? Because after all of the standard federal and state loans and grants I still have about $5K - $6K left to pay for each semester.

I'm going for a degree in Statistics in the U.S. at a state college
It's a Bachelor of Science but I am put in the Business school

If we do live in a simulation, how can irrational numbers like pi and sqrt(2) exists?

I'm really sorry because I know how autistic this sounds but what is the name of the jobs/positions "scientists" in epidemic disaster movies (like Contagion) hold, the ones that figure out how viruses work and make cures
Like the dudes that work in the CDC, WHO, and the like?
Cellular biologists? Microbiologists? Biochemists?
Lots of labwork and using your brain.

Hello /sci/borgs,

What would you consider to be the opposite of a selfie, or an anti-selfie? My thinking is along the lines of:

>a selfie is a picture of yourself taken by yourself
>the opposite would therefore be
>not a picture
>of not yourself
>not taken by yourself

What would fit these criteria? I was thinking that your ordinary meme might the solution but it seems a bit too silly to be fully correct. Please discuss.

What kind of an engineer are you anon?

How do you like it so far?

why do the electrons surrounding an atomic nucleus take on discrete energy levels?

how would you learn the history of a country? i think it's different from learning something like a math subject because you can practice the math subject until you feel comfortable with it by proving theorems and doing other exercises.. but something like history, all you have is books. they don't have exercises. even if they did, you'd answer them only once.. and it doesn't build up the way maths does. doing spaced repetition sounds overkill but i think that'd be the best way?
