Full honesty please! I’m a student going to sbcc, and I just wonder if the UC students think I’m stupid. It’s not even in a self deprecating way, I just got really unlucky and got into no schools but I didn’t want to live at home so I came to sb. I know that sbcc students have a rep of being dumb/ just like to party etc. I just really wonder what people will think of me if I say I’m a cc student and not at the UC

Any Econ 5 recommendations? Only Hartman shows up on plat and it’s a bloodbath in the reviews…

Hey guys I just need advice and hopefully some help. I have not been able to send my transcript to UCSB from my local community college. I sent it in the very beginning of June and it never arrived which I had been very worried about. At my orientation I asked and they said it should process soon and to not resend it unless I got an email stating that action was required. On August 12 I get an email saying the school hasn’t received my transcript and that a soft block will be placed on my account/ admission on August 18 (today). I resent my transcript electronically and by mail and called the admissions office to explain my situation. I’m super stressed that it won’t get there by September 1st and that my admission will be withdrawn, if anyone has any advice or went through a similar situation, what should I do? What else can I do? (I’m also really worried because I still haven’t done the Entry level Writing Placement and I honestly don’t know how to fulfill it.) I’m a first gen student, sorry if this seems silly or like common sense. Please help!

I am really curious as one cannot use dryer everytime one takes a shower.

Hi! I am transferring to UCSB for Econ and accounting major. I was wondering if there is any community other than the clubs for especially transfer accounting student to kinda exchange information, create study groups, etc.
I just joined the UAS a couple and wanted to know if that’s even good enough for now.
I’m also an international student and new user here on Reddit so any advice is greatly appreciated!

Hey everyone! this will be my senior year at UCSB and I have been thinking about sleeping in my car for the year to save money. I am getting no help from financial aid, government and what so ever such as Pell grant and Cal Grant. No help from my family. I only receive UCSB scholarship, I have a job at UCSB that pays mostly of my gas and my tuition. I have no room to pay rent for any housing or rent. I don't know what to do because I don't want to pay a ticket or a fine by the police. I already have a loan that I have to pay back (10,000$).

Literally what it sounds like i wanna make a dnd club but need people who’ll join.

I got a double with my buddy and I looked online and saw how basically nobody really talked about san miguel. I'm in the east tower I believe and I'm pretty high up. I did see hear how some people said the rooms are super small, is that true? and i also wanna ask, how was the social life and the restrooms as well? or any other experiences as well.

hello! im an incoming freshmen and I recently got my dorm at santa Catalina! I was a little heartbroken at first cus I found out about its distance from campus, but im def willing to try and make the best of it, if any of you have lived there, I would liked to ask how was it?

This might be a dumb question but is it possible for intl students to view their admissions file?

Also, would there be any negative repercussions or friction with school administrators if I formally requested to see it through FERPA? I don't want to inadvertently annoy anyone in the admissions office.

Has anyone here actually done this as an international student?

Hiya, I’m an incoming freshman and was assigned to Manzanita Village for a triple room. How are the dorms and Carrillo dining hall? Anything to be aware of?

I'm a freshman and I just got my housing assignment for the year. I was hoping to get a normal double or a triple but i ended up with a small double. I'm pretty sure my room is next to stairs. If you've had a small double, what was it like? And is there anything I should know about them?

Have any CS majors received their canvas link yet? I don't know how to see the required textbooks / syllabus for my courses, so I was wondering if anyone knew what textbook / resources are CS 16/MATH 4A/ANTH 3 taught from? Thanks!

MAGA bought out the Ritz this week. And according to the staff, Erika Kirk is flitting around like the star of the show.

Hey yall, I just got my housing assignment of a small double in manzanita & that was what I wanted to avoid. I wanted a standard double at manzanita or San Raf, but was unable to. My concern is with a place that small, when I have certain mental health issues I will not be able to get away from like anything which is a need for me. I am trying to get the disabilities registered on their website but have yet to. Is there anything I can do at all to see if there is anyway to switch? I have no idea & am kinda freaking out a bit… (manzanita was my choice bc it had rainbow housing & I am NB so there wasn’t really any better choice for me)

I just got my housing assignment in Santa Cruz and I’m really happy about it because it was pretty much my roommates and I’s first choice! Any words of advice for living in Santa Cruz?

I’m having trouble deciding between the two schools. I’m very indecisive lmao. I mainly wanna hear what’s it’s been like for ya’ll there at both and any input or advice anyone has.

For context, I’m a biology major, maybe down the line want to specifically go microbiology route. I’m definitely an introvert and would like to branch out and grow from college (scared but excited). I’m hoping to get a dorm on campus if possible, hoping it’s cheaper than off campus (would like to hear how the dorms are if ya’ll know). I love the beach it’s one of the things I love about the campuses.

Btw I am going to visit them I am just wondering if anybody has any experiences

hi! about 10 minutes ago i got my housing assignment (finally) and i’ll be in a san nicolas double next year. is this good/bad? any advice?
