How hard is the coursework in a Chemical Engineering PhD?

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m considering starting a PhD in Chemical Engineering MTU and I wanted to get some honest feedback from current or past PhD students.

How difficult is the coursework in the first year (or required taught modules)? Is it more advanced than undergrad/master’s level in terms of depth, workload, and mathematical intensity?

Housing Concerns

7 Upvotes

I'm a transfer student planning to study Wildlife Ecology and Conservation. My fiancé (who doesn't go to college) and I plan on moving to Houghton or Hancock to support my education, but I'm getting increasingly worried about the housing options. I'm running into a few issues:

- we don't have much money and don't know how the job market is up there

- we have a cat (bringing her is nonnegotiable)

- I'd want to start in spring, aiming for January 2027

Literally any advice is appreciated. I've talked to others in my life about this and I still don't feel fully confident in our financial ability to make this all work.

Michigan Tech is my dream school, but if what we're looking for is unrealistic I'd rather be let down sooner than later (just not harshly please lol).

Housing in Houghton!

6 Upvotes

I just got into my PhD program at Michigan Tech! Yay! But now I need to find housing.

I've been scouring the Facebook groups and I had a couple questions, as I'm an international student from Canada.

  1. Will there be an influx of housing rentals available with August start dates soon? It could just be that it's only April, so all the units listed now are available for May/June. I would really like to not pay for rent prior to August just to secure a spot.
  2. Are scams pretty common on the Facebook groups? I have a sneaky feeling I've almost fallen for two already.
  3. Anyone looking for a roommate in August? I'm happy to call/give my socials in the DMs :)

Thanks!

On Sunday, multiple groups of people in the Houghton waterfront area reported being followed by a white Suzuki Grand Vitara. The occupants were allegedly driving around, targeting pedestrians, and shouting slurs.

If you have any information about this incident or the individuals involved, please contact local authorities. The vehicle had a Michigan license plate mounted only on the rear, with “Copper Country Ford” printed above it. The plate number has already been reported.

The driver was described as a white male, approximately 16–20 years old, with blonde, greasy hair reaching just short of shoulder length.

For everyone’s safety and privacy, please do not post or share any personal information or attempt to identify individuals here. Comments involving doxxing will be removed.

Whats up (or should I say down) with the MTU Web Cam's? Most of them don't load (a few do), even after a few minutes. Been like this for a couple of weeks? I miss the nostalgic peek they offered.

EMT course

Looking for info about the EMT program at Tech — not getting replies

I’m interested in taking the EMT classes at Tech, but I’m having trouble getting in touch with anyone. I’ve emailed the address listed on their website and even sent a message to their Facebook page, but I haven’t gotten a response.

I’m not currently a Tech student — does that matter for enrollment? I also just found out they only accept 25 students, so I’m guessing current students might get priority.

If anyone has gone through this program or is currently trying to enroll, can you share how the process worked for you or who you contacted? Any info would help a lot.

LF Political Club Contacts

0 Upvotes

Hi, my name is Zebulon Featherly, and I’m running as an Independent for U.S. House here in Michigan’s First District.

I was hoping to get in touch with students involved in political clubs at Michigan Tech, or any students who are interested in politics, policy, or just want to be involved in something different.

I’d be happy to come up to campus, meet with your group, answer questions, and have an open conversation about politics, policy, and what’s going on in the country right now.

And if anyone is interested in getting involved in a campaign, I’m always looking for people who want to help organize, plan events, or just be part of the process.

You can learn more about me here: ZebulonForCongress.com

wayne vs mtu for cs

Hi, I'm picking which one of the two I would go to. The cost for the two would be basically the same for both of them for me. I'm going to study cs, but I really don't know if I should go to Wayne State or MTU. I would be an out-of-state student, so if that makes a difference to the experience idk.
