I purchased my electric scooter (first paycheck) at the start of Summer 2018, and before that, was that guy on a kick scooter. The climate for electric scooters on campus went from what I could tell was me and another dude I saw once every month, to now seeing at least 3 every day.

I fear that what was once mild amusement to people now will become hatred when millions are everywhere and half the people scooting around purchased one have no idea what common courtesy is and attempt scootihicular pedestrianslaughter on the sidewalks, souring public opinion. Worrying premonitions aside, I can not say enough about how much I love my scooter to get around. It's the perfect combination of vehicle, where you don't have to worry about storing it like a bike, or if you never gained the magical skills to not die on a longboard/skateboard, a pretty easy to use ride. I use mine everyday and it does a good job. If you can use a longboard/skateboard those are very good options for pretty cheap human propelled transportation that are very popular, although I'll always have a soft spot for the A5 Lux Kick Scooter I used to roll around with. Brakes are neat, yo!

As for which scooter to get, I'm not up with the scooter times, but I use the Segway ES1 I purchased at Sam's Club for $350. Judging by the fact I've never actually seen another one of those out on campus (If you see a dude on one of these, probably wearing flip-flops, feel free to wave hello, say hi, and not hate me, I try to be as courteous as possible to other pedestrians/cyclists!), gonna go out on a limb and say they are no longer for sale at Sam's Club. However what I have seen on campus are the Xiaomi Mi or maybe this go trax thing. Can't speak for those at all, but they sure are popular.

The electric scooter market is pretty cheap, with the prices being low, but with the quality being low as well. There was literally like two options when I got mine, with the one I did get being sold off on clearance, but now with the explosion in this segment, the skies the limit, maybe.

Overall, the utility of an electric scooter is a great value for what they cost, and I'd happily answer any questions you've got. Also, yes I am a bit of a electric scooter nut/loser, if this thesis of a post is anything to go by.

To be honest, I got an older version of this laptop: https://www.amazon.com/Acer-Aspire-i5-8250U-GeForce-E5-576G-5762/dp/B075FLBJV7/

and it hasn't been a problem for me. I've completed all my computer science course and finishing up my statistics double major. The performance to cost ratio of getting a good gpu on a laptop is not worth it in my opinion because you're going to have to drop at least 1.5k. I have a separate desktop with a gpu to do computational work that was ~800 along with this $500 dollar laptop and it still comes out cheaper. I would recommend just getting this laptop and getting a desktop if you really need that computational power. If you really want an all in one package I'd get this laptop: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/asus-rog-gu501gm-15-6-gaming-laptop-intel-core-i7-16gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-gtx-1060-1tb-hybrid-drive-128gb-ssd-brushed-black/6207900.p?skuId=6207900 I know there are some das professors (did senior project with one) with gaming laptops for the gpu so it's not too bad to bring in class haha.

I had an acer aspire from 2012 that just died, so i replaced it with a newer acer aspire. Got it on Amazon for 379. I plan on swapping out the HDD with an SSD and doing a fresh windows install when it arrives later today. My aspire was fairly robust and easy to fix/upgrade myself.

I've used my bike regularly on and around campus as my primary transportation for the past 3 years. Been using a U-lock around one wheel and the frame with a steel cable through the other wheel. Also have a small cable around my seat that I don't take off. Haven't had much trouble with theft aside from accidentally leaving my bike lights on overnight once or twice. The cable does becomes a hassle after a while though, so recently I've been using only the U-lock during class hours and keeping the cable in my backpack for nighttime or whenever I want the extra security.

I live about 2 miles off campus, and in the mornings I try to take the bus with my bike on front. For my route at least, I'm usually the only bike there, but occasionally it will be full. In that case I either bike to campus or wait for the next one if it's close enough. I haven't tried bringing my bike onto the bus, but I don't think it's allowed. If you have a car or access to one at home, you could leave your bike at a dorm or the racks by the Reitz bus stops and just bus to your bike without having to worry about the bike carrier being full.

No, I've tried these . They're ok, but not as good as Lush
