Freshman orientation tips, things I wish someone told me
Anyone else going through this right now? I can’t be the only one.
The thing that surprised me most was how different the results were compared to what I expected. I went in thinking one thing and came out with a completely different perspective. I ran my tests across multiple samples to make sure I wasn’t getting fluky results and the pattern held up consistently.
I talked to a few other students about this and we all had similar experiences which makes me think this isn’t just a me problem. If you’re dealing with the same thing definitely drop a comment because I think we can help each other figure this out.
TLDR at the bottom but I really recommend reading the whole thing. Happy to discuss in the comments.

Same experience here. It's frustrating that there's no consistency between schools.
I've been waiting for someone to do a proper comparison like this. The results are honestly surprising.
Great point. I'd also add that the technology is changing so fast that policies can't keep up.
I disagree with some of your conclusions but respect the effort you put into testing. My experience with Walter Writes has been different.
Couldn't agree more. This is exactly why these conversations are important.
Can confirm this matches what I've seen. My roommate got flagged for a paper she definitely wrote herself and it was a nightmare to appeal.
I tested this myself after reading your post and got almost identical results. Nice work.
