The general campus area has quite a bit of partying. Get at least a steel gun cabinet if you don't have a safe. Rentals in town are a lot higher than some neighboring areas. The most friendly gun shop in town is Lawful Defense. The only problem is that Glenn is open by appointment only. The only rifle range in town (to my knowledge) is Gainesville Target Range which requires you to have either a 6 month or one year membership. Let me know when you get in town and I will give you a tour. I have only been in the area for about 2 years myself.

The following EE professors have not been folks I would take repeat classes from: Wu Taylor Arroyo Hammer - I haven't personally had him, but I've heard to avoid him from multiple people Shea - Hes not a bad teacher, but jesus christ monkey fuck; Graduate Noise in Linear systems was the hardest shit I ever took. You probably wont have to take any of those profs seeing as you're civil. I think the only potential would be Hammer, as he does controls type stuff. |
