Anybody from NC State met Anand yet?

[Dig]

I'm co-oping, so I'm not on campus much this semester. Somebody has to have seen him by now, right?

Anand, how about lunch at the Atrium or some basketball at Carmichael gym with some other guys from State sometime?

 

[Anand Lal Shimpi]

Hehe I'm up for it Just make sure you don't catch me on days like today when I've had about an hour's worth of sleep and I'm not really making much sense

Take care,
Anand

How big is NC state? Average class size/total people on campus?

 

[NFS4]

My smallest class this semester is about 30. The largest is 130.

 

[Adul]

Anand, you never get much sleep.

 

[NFS4]

State students generally don't

 

[AlphaIVT]

All you guys go to NC?

 

[NFS4]

Anand
Kiran
Manveer
and myself from Anandtech

 

[Nessoldaccount]

Yeah, it's a legend in the making...almost like those seven siblings who all graduated from Harvard Medical Sch...well, not QUITE like that.

Question: Why NCSU? Owning a multi-million dollar business by the time you're 17 is generally qualification enough to get into school that you want. I'm surprised that he didn't opt for Duke, which is also in NC (I didn't get in there ). Just curious :Q

 

[zippy]

LMAO at ness.

NCSU, not too shabby fellas.

I'm aiming for Cornell. Gotta start working unlike last year when I was on the computer way too much and at da' books too little.

Hence, you will be seeing less of me starting...in 1 hour and 58 minutes...midnight on Sept. 6...tomorrow is the first day of school. My goal is a 5.xx GPA (my school goes on a 5.5 GPA scale...its fuxored, i know) as opposed to my 4-4.5 last year. That was weak...if i really tried my hardest I could have gotten 5.xx easy, but I didn't and I have to put it in the past. Can you tell I'm still dwelling on it?

When you own a multi-million dollar business, why even care where you go to college? Besides, NC State is by no means a BAD college, in fact, it's considered "good" even though most of us would only consider the Ivies to be in that category.

 

[bigben]

when y'all get together, make sure anand sends a van up to duke so you state people can play with some REAL ballers


isn't that right anand?

 

[Robert01]

I don't go to State (although I will apply this fall). I could definitely use a good game of basketball.

 

[bigben]

Brandon,
state students dont get much sleep? have you ever met a duke student who has had more that four hours of sleep the night before?

 

[Robert01]

Settle it on the court guys...

There are around 27,000 people on campus I believe. My smallest class has around 34, my largest has 270.

Who says that NCSU wasn't the school I wanted to go to? One thing you've got to remember is you can be the richest man in the world or the poorest kid on the block, that has absolutely nothing to do with what school you are capable of getting into or what school you should go to.

You should never go to a school, or do anything for that matter just because you can afford it, that's not a good basis for anything in life.

For me, I liked the environment at state. True, Duke has an extremely beautiful campus, but I just felt more at home with the people at State. If I were going into Medicine then Duke would've been my top choice, but for engineering, State is numero uno for me.

At least at State it doesn't take us 45 mins to setup an ftp account...

(sorry guys, only ben could've gotten that one--i've known the guy for 5 years, go figure).

Take care,
Anand

 

[Dig]

Anand, should I email you about this?

Brandon, how about a team Anandtech intramural basketball team?

 

[Robert01]

I'm up for it if someone sends me a PM.

 

[Nessoldaccount]

Can someone tell me a little about NC State? I'm a senior now, applying for CE major this fall. From Virginia...

Man, NC State must be an easy school, I've already forgotten what sleep is. Did you ever think of how rested you'd be with an hour of sleep? Lucky guy.

 

[Slap]

You guys are going to the wrong colleges if you aren't getting sleep. I went to the University of Memphis and I got plenty of sleep. Most of the time it was during class. I would only showed up for my 8:00am classes half the time.
