I always see people complaining about how they close off the escalator instead of using it as stairs here's some reasons why:

The steps of an escalator are bigger than usual making it more likely to trip
If you do trip you fall on hard metal steps with sharp edges
Even more your will fall all the way to the bottom as there's no landing part way up to catch you like the normal stairs next to it.
Some cheap escalators have cheap af parking brakes and could fail if there's someone on every step, Vertasium has a good video on this
It has to be unoccupied for if TKE ever shows up and they sometimes need to leave the access hatches open

Im an incoming freshman at CPP and on Monday I’m going to be starting my first summer class! And it’s going to be starting Stats 1201. I am not a math person! Like I’m willing to try buttt I need to know what I’m getting myself into b4!
And has anyone taken the Bronco scholars program? How was it?

Is Calc II really as bad as people say it is? I've heard that Calc III is easier than Calc II and it is a good idea to try to avoid Calc II it if possible.

Suggested more accurate title: someone claiming to be cpp finance said i owe money and I'm not convinced

Never thought i would make this post. Attended fall 2023 and that was it. Out of the blue, two years later in 2026, i get an email from student accounting and cashiering informing me i owe $1300. So I called them to try and figure out where the charge was coming from.

Spoke with jackie nadesa, who told me the cost was from housing and meal plan for spring 2024. I wasnt living in california in 2024. At all.

I asked for documentation and she told me she'd email it to me in a couple days. A couple weeks go by with no email (not in spam and i have no one blocked), so I leave a voicemail asking what the deal is.

Tried calling them today and theyve blocked my number and, presumably, sent me to collections. All because i asked if they could prove i owed them $1300. I wouldve happily paid them if they could show i actually owed them anything, but clearly they cant.

Is this a scam? What do I even do in this situation? The whole thing seems fishy

So I have to retake a class this fall, but I commute, and I don’t think it’s in my best interest to drive to campus just for one class every other day (it’s on Mondays and Wednesdays).

I already have classes on Thursdays and Fridays. Friday is a 3-hour lab that I have to attend, and Thursday I have both a lab and a regular class.
Do you guys think professors would care if I didn’t come to the Monday/Wednesday class as long as attendance isn’t mandatory? Would it be worth explaining that it’s the only class I’m taking on those days and that, financially, commuting just for that one class isn’t ideal? I still have to take it because it’s a prerequisite that unlocks a lot of the other classes on my flowchart.

Has anyone been in a similar situation? How did your professor respond?

Does anyone else want to carpool to CPP next fall? I have an 8am class on M/W/F and 11am classes on T/Th.

I've been taking the train and bus, but 3 hours each way is too much for me.

Hey guys, I'm looking for a 1 unit class to take this coming fall. What are some cool options?

it was supposed to be for the 26 but haven’t receive anything yet. Anyone else?

Hello, I’m a sophomore ChemE student, and was wondering if any professors took sophomores to join their research projects?

I am interested in energy, if that helps! I would love to gain experience, but I don’t know where to start looking. Thanks!

Hey there, I’m a 3rd year and I’m looking for 1 more female roommate. It’s located in La Verne (15 min drive to campus) we’re all CPP students besides 1. It’s a 5 bedroom house and rent is 789 plus utilities. If anyone’s interested please lmk, I’m looking for someone to move in July.

I applied for housing in April and I still haven't heard anything back I'm kind of on pins and needles here. Should I seek alternatives or just keep waiting?

Tuition is due on 7/13 but my fafsa is supposed to hit in August. Do I have to pay my tuition before the due date or can I wait for fafsa to hit?

Title/refer to some other posts on my profile

I told my professors, most were considerate and I am eternally grateful for them, I will never forget their kindness for that.

One, not so much. I told him and unlike the other professors, I got a one sentence reply. No resources to reach out to, no asking if I would like to report, no asking if I am in a safe space, just a sentence saying he will add points for everyone (I asked for patience, just understanding, not to add points to my exam). I missed 3 weeks of class because it got bad — I ended up in the ER from a dispute (police made a report on their own accord, due to the severity)

I showed up on the last day and he looked at me with pure disappointment, I have never seen a professor look at me like that before (this professor has always been nice, he was my favorite actually). He tends to look down on those who miss class, I thought I was an exception because of my circumstances, but he valued attendance more than wellbeing I guess. The last couple of weeks had me hanging on by a string, I was at my lowest from the few weeks I went through.

I felt ashamed and humiliated, part of me wants to report him, and part of me doesn’t want him to get in trouble. What do I do? Am I overreacting?
