Big Apple Pizza is probably *the best* option for a late-night bite when you don't have anything in your pantry. For $10, you get a large cheese pizza, enough to feed 3-4 people. If you come here regularly with friends, don't even bother trying to Zelle each-other and pitch in a few dollars, but rather just have a different person pay for it each time.

One of the most overlooked details is that, for a single dollar, they will deliver to anywhere on campus. This requires a minimum of $13 or so, from what I remember, so you can probably toss a drink or a dessert on top.

Amantes **supposedly** has better tasting pizza, at the cost of being a bit further away from campus. If you take 15th street (the street that the bridge goes over, between quad and the Union) and just walk down, you'll eventually hit Amantes.

In the basement of the Union, you'll find something called the Rathskellar (always such a weird name just call it the basement tbh)

In the Rathskellar, a few food places are situated:

- Fathers, the convenience store.

- Wild Blue Sushi

- Halal Shack

You can use your flex dollars on any of these restaurants, and they all usually close around 11. It's great to buy something to-go when you're doing a long club meeting, or when you want something a bit better to eat.

TO ADD!!!

TODO

For many freshman, its a tough shift changing from a more laid back style of learning from a standard high school classroom to a lecture hall in college, and RPI is no exception. While going to your first few weeks of classes, its important to make the distinction that **in high school, there are _teachers_ who _teach_ students and in college there are _professors_ who _lecture_ students**.

To go a little more in depth, the difference in the learning between teachers and professors is NOT that they (typically) have less education, but rather **what their educational background is**. When teachers went through college, they did learn a large part of what they were going to teach (sciences, ELA, history/social studies, mathematics, etc) but they also learned how to effectively and efficiently convey their knowledge to their students to help them get through high school and pass any necessary exams or standards. In college, the professors' educational background is almost always only in the subject that they are teaching or have their doctorate in (not always a PhD!), meaning that they only know the knowledge that they have to teach and a large background of information supporting it, but have little to no knowledge of how to effectively and efficiently convey that knowledge to their students.

Not all professors are like this, and this does vary based on the subject matter, but this is the typical standard in change from learning material in high school and learning material in college or a university.

It can therefore be said that when in college, its largely up to the student to effectively and efficiently teach themself by whatever means necessary and to ensure that they are learning the material at a normal (ish) pace (this is in my opinion, the person writing this little section, but might vary based on who you ask).
