I’m not even talking abt woozoo fan, ottoman, and the like multi charge port thing. Things that people don’t think about or smart things to bring. Even things not to bring, but don’t say like lot of clothes cuz that’s obvious I feel like lol. I’m not sure what to rlly bring and buy beforehand. I have an electric skillet, tissue boxes, ramen, woozoo, air purifier, extr air mattress for guests, and like small things like tide pens dishwashing soap for the skillet and etc.. idk if there’s anything I can switch out to get easier stuff or what else to purchase. Let me know please!! Plus recs for brands if necessary!!

Hello! Gonna be interning in the bay and need a place to live from 7/18 - 9/18 (dates flexible). Please let me know if anyone is subleasing during these dates — doesn’t have to be entire duration but looking for >= month (I’m 20M) thanks!

My waitlist position currently is 51-75 and I’m worried I might not get a dorm before the year starts. Should I wait it out or start looking elsewhere, like off-campus housing or applying for traditional halls, if that’s not too late already.

Hey everyone,

I’m a community college student with one year left before transferring, and I'm trying to decide between a guaranteed UC transfer or targeting SJSU.

My Background & Stats:

• Finished: O-Chem I-II, Calc I-III, Linear Algebra, and most Engineering Physics.
• Interests: Batteries, materials, and semiconductors (solidified through coursework and ACS conventions).
• The Plan: Pursue an accelerated 5-year BS/MS program (funding is largely covered by parents, so a 1-year master's extension is the goal).

Option 1: San Jose State University (SJSU)

• Pros: Prime Silicon Valley location, excellent local pipeline for internships, and their ChE graduate concentrations align perfectly with my interests.
• Cons: Less "prestige" on a national level compared to upper-tier UCs.

Option 2: UC Irvine (or other UCs via TAG)

• Pros: UC prestige and research infrastructure.
• Cons: Looking at UCI's master's specialties, it feels heavily bio-focused, which doesn't interest me.

My Philosophy: I don't care much about name-brand prestige for its own sake. I value work experience and internships during college, knowing that experience outvalues a school's name after your first job.

Given my specific interest in tech/materials/batteries rather than biotech/pharma, is choosing SJSU over a UC the right move here? How do the internship opportunities for ChEs at SJSU actually compare to the UCs in these specific fields?

Thanks for any insight!

I start next week and still haven’t gotten my summer aid. I applied for loans since my grant doesnt cover enough of my tuition. now I have a past due balance. does anyone know when we’re getting it? I emailed FA but it’s out of office hours already. when I checked the website, it says they’ll disburse refunds every week. I thought it happens every tuesday. but tuesday passed and nothing.

Hi, I plan to cancel my on-campus housing before the deadline. In addition to the Petition to Cancel form, does anyone know if we also need to provide a reasoning and supporting documentation if we’re cancelling BEFORE the deadline? Thank you!

Hi everyone! So, I'm on the affordable meal plan, which they had me pick with affordable housing. I did the math and it comes out to about one swipe per day (I know abt the reusable takeout box, so ~2 meals per day) if I want enough to last the whole semester (plus $250 dining dollars). Now, HYPOTHETICALLY SPEAKING, would I be able to find someone with unlimited swipes and mooch off of them? This isn't me posting looking for anyone currently lol, I was just wondering if anyone had ever tried the same technique. Sorry if this kind of question isn't allowed 😭 I know it sounds kind of desperate but I really want to know if anyone's tried this.

Need a place to stay until end of August. Interning in Sunnyvale and current housing ends in a week. Please reach out if interested.

Hello everyone! I'm a transfer student from the LA area majoring in Business Administration with a concentration in Management Information Systems (MIS). I'd describe myself as someone who's pretty quiet at first, but the more I get to know you, the more I'll open up. I also don't mind sharing a room if anyone's really down bad (don't worry... I am too 😂). I work early mornings at In-N-Out (4:30 AM–10:30 AM), and I usually hit the gym afterward, so most mornings I won't be around the house/apartment. I'm also into sports (nothing too crazy). I root for the LA Dodgers, LA Rams, and Real Madrid! I don't mind living with any gender, and I'm LGBTQ+ friendly. My maximum budget is around $1,200/month.

Feel free to shoot me a message on Instagram: eddie.c04

I would use the sammy app but it won't let me login :(

As a chemistry student, how much hands on work do you get? What sort of instrumentation do you get experience with (especially analytical)? How easy or hard is it to get an internship? What's getting a job after graduation look like?

hi everyone. I just accepted a position as an RA and am having difficulties figuring out my next steps for bringing my ESA cat with me. has anyone gone through the process and are you able to explain it to me starting with what is needed to declare the disability through the AEC and what is needed to declare her as an acceptable ESA?

it’s due super soon (within a week) and honestly I have no idea what im supposed to be doing because there’s so many steps/documents
