My main question being is that I keep hearing this semester starts tomorrow, but why would we have a Thursday class on its own. Should we start Monday?

Not ready for tmr please ignore me huffing and puffing uphill

I'm taking 2300 and the lab haven't even started and I'm required to spend around 70-80 dollars on just parts a long wtf. Also I am not even sure if I even need all of these parts. Last semester I had a bunch of parts I bought that we didn't even use in class.

I put some cash on my card to help with budgeting, but I realized I never looked into any limits the Bronco Cash might have... whoops

Does it work on the real foodjoints like Subway, Panda Express, Qdoba, etc, or can the cash added to the card only be used on like the Book store?

At CPP and a new freshman is trying to register for Bronco Fusion but it says they need a parental signed waiver since they’re under 18.

They are 18 since December. Who can they contact for help with this? We did look through the website but can’t find an answer.

Thanks and also Go Broncos :)

First year majoring in computer science and enrolled in 18 units. Two CS courses, math, and online for ethnic studies and music. Not sure if it’s too much?

Hi everyone!

Over the past few months, I’ve been working on an AI-powered study assistant called StudyPilot (https://studypilot.dev).

As a neurodivergent student, I always had a hard time with traditional note-taking and study methods. I built StudyPilot to give students an adaptable tool that works with your learning style rather than against it.

What it does:

- Combines a bunch of study tools and note-taking systems into one

- ⁠Helps you take notes during class, and then use those notes to study more efficiently

- ⁠Automatically turn lecture notes into quizzes, flashcards, or tailored summaries based on how you learn best

I know how hard it is to be expected to do something in a certain way while the optimal way for you is completely different. That's what StudyPilot is built for: helping you study in the way that works best for you.

I just released it to the public. That said, I am still developing it and new features are added every day.

If you are interested in trying it out and you feel like you might find it useful please feel free to make an account and start using it right away. I would love your feedback, this app is meant to help people who study in different ways, so the more suggestions I get the more the app can develop. Feel free to comment here too and ask any questions of course.

Thank you, and happy Piloting!

Hello everyone! This goes out to the freshman or transfers for this upcoming fall! If you are commuting please please bring a portal charger or a charger you can connect to your car. As well make sure to have a/c on if you are traveling 10am to 5pm it’s really hot and your phone can get overheated. Having your phone charged and cool will help the battery life while you use maps or gps. It can be scary to drive to a place you’ve never driven to and having yourself be prepared is the best thing you can do! Best of luck to everyone new and have a great semester!

Has anyone with Financial aid got their loans disbursed? Because as far as I know under the Big Beautiful Bill they are modifying and calculating the loans you can take out based on the number of units you enroll in the semester. And It was supposed to be disbursed exactly as week ago but when contacted the office, it will take additional 1 more week for the loans to be adjusted.

I'm currently at community college doing a Business Administration transfer program, and I'm trying to decide between CSUSB and Cal Poly Pomona for my bachelor's in Accounting.

I'm leaning toward CPP because I've heard it has a strong accounting program and good recruiting opportunities, but I want to hear from actual students/alumni about what happens after graduation.

For anyone who graduated from CPP with an accounting degree:

- Did you get an accounting-related job shortly after graduating?

- How long did it take you to find your first full-time job?

- What was your first job/title?

- What was your starting salary, if you're comfortable sharing?

- Did you have an internship before graduating?

- Did your internship turn into a full-time offer?

- Did you get your internship/job through Beta Alpha Psi, the Cal Poly Society of Accountants, Meet the Firms, or another CPP event/networking opportunity?

- Did you get multiple internship or job offers, or did you still have to apply to a lot of places on your own?

- What kinds of firms actually recruit at CPP? Are there Big 4/mid-sized firms, or is it mostly smaller/local firms?

- Were your opportunities mostly in the Inland Empire, LA/OC, or elsewhere?

- Do you think CPP's accounting program/recruiting actually gave you an advantage when looking for your first job?

I'm currently in San Bernardino, so CSUSB would be much closer and more convenient for me. I'm willing to go to CPP if the difference in accounting opportunities is significant, but if the outcomes are fairly similar, I'd probably prefer staying closer to home.

My biggest concern is graduating with a bachelor's in accounting and then struggling to find a job. I'm trying to figure out whether CPP's recruiting/networking actually makes a noticeable difference in getting internships and full-time offers, or whether it's still mostly dependent on the individual student.

I'd especially appreciate hearing from recent graduates about what actually happened after graduation rather than just general opinions about the school.

Thanks!

What is the personal training at the BRIC like? I'm looking to get into working out, but I'm starting as a total beginner. Is the training sessions worth shelling out the cash for it, or are there actual classes I can enroll in to learn how to train myself?

Hello all! I’m heading to the student convocation tomorrow and I’m curious about what I should bring or prepare myself with? Like backpack or something? Thank you 🫶🏻

When are is the MCS distributed it says it has been received by the college?

Im a freshmen electrical engineering major and I have a couple questions that i was hoping i could get some clarity on,

When people talk about engineering projects what does that entail? like over the summer are people building things, coding things, or just researching topics they like, and creating documents with the findings about the chosen topic. And what type of projects should I look into doing as an EE major.

As well as how should I know what general education classes I should be taking or how to figure out the classes I need to take, in order to fulfill my credits.

What classes should I also be picking within my major, I want to go into power systems in the future and id like to get some input on what classes might be relevant to that pursuit.

( also if a class has a lab do i need to take them both )

first time on here and idk if im using the flairs right 🙏

Anyway any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
