I didn't want to sound like a braggy douche. I took calc in HS, I just didn't take the AP test. Sitting here with a 120% in Calc I. And I know calc II is hardest of the 3, but I've taken it all before so it shouldn't be too bad. Diff EQ on the other hand, my body is not ready.

Had my first interview for an internship at a power/utility company the other day; went really well, I feel like my chances of being offered an internship are pretty good. The only problem is the city is 3 hours away from where my parents live, so I'd have to pay rent for a few months while living there. It is a paid internship so it's not a huge issue, but I'm still seeing what all my options are.
Would I be right to say that the experience gained from the internship is much more important than the money, so I shouldn't worry about having to pay rent?
Also, it's in a small city that I wouldn't really want to live in after graduating. Would having this internship on my resume make it easier for me to get another internship next summer, but at a different company/city where I would rather be after graduating?

My prof was the best prof I have ever had in any class ever, bar none. His notes were amazing and he explained everything really well. The class was just brutally hard. I think the highest park in the class was just under 70%.
It was pretty crappy tbh. I talked to my supervisor and got them to let me work 11 hr days, so I only work 4 days a week. With the 45 min each way commute to and from work it didnt leave me much time to be bored, and I went home every weekend. Any weekend I didnt go home i'd go snowboarding since the town I was in was pretty close to the mountains.
Overall though, if I was working normal hours and not going home all the time it would've sucked big time. I was spending over $600 a month on gas though, and I put over 35,000 kilometers on my car in 8 months.
My next coop is far from home again (3.5 hour drive) but its in a major city and I know a bunch of people that live there so I'm looking forward to it.
Edit*
I'm being kind of unfair, I was invited out pretty often by the other engineers where I was working. I didn't participate much though and w/ me staying late/going early didn't have much time to do anything anyways. I don't think it would be that that bad though if you are open to trying new things. I definitely would not be willing to do it long term though.Last edited by arekieh; 12-15-2013 at 06:30 PM.

Calc II isn't difficult, I don't understand the horror stories that surround that class. Calc III is also easy, and Diff eq is even easier than that. Math doesn't get difficult until your first "real" math course. As in Advanced Calculus, Linear Algebra II, real/complex analysis, etc. Honestly courses don't become unreasonably difficult until like Junior year. Even then it's manageable. Only time it gets out of control is when you get ambitious and take lots of graduate level classes.

*Didn't do good in Calc III but had no problems with Calc II crew*
I started off reallyyyy bad in that class. Stuff like finding out how far away a point was from a plane, the angle between that point and a point on the plane, etc. Failed that test hard. Had to work uphill all semester. Once we got to 3D calculus I had no problems whatsoever. The TA saw how hard I was trying and bumped my grade up a bit I think. Owe him a beer

My university is ranked one of the most competitive schools in the country, so that is absolutely not the case. They pay our professors damn bonuses for raping kids GPA's. So yeah our averages were quite low too, but my point is that I never understood the difficulty. Most people realize how easy the class was once they start taking actually difficult classes. Everyone gets nervous and ****s up because they get psyched out by people saying the class is so difficult. There are WAY more difficult classes than Calculus. Like not even close.
