hi, i’m an incoming transfer and i’m planning on living with my friend, but we’re not sure about how to go on ranking our housing choices, can you guys provide some input onto what we have so far? thanks in advance
Ok so basically
I live on the hill and the *only* day I can move out is the 12th, which just so happens to be the last day we can move out (and commencement day).
Are there shuttles for moving out similar to move-in? I'm guessing not but can't find anything online about it (I'm a transfer and stored my stuff last summer so I wasn't around during move-out).
I'm worried I have so much stuff and it'll be so busy that it is going to be an absolute nightmare getting to the car and back with the parking situation. Am I better off just forcing a friend off-campus to let me keep my stuff at their place instead?
I'm admitted for data theory if that helps
Hi guys! I’m an incoming UCLA transfer student (Bio major, interested in research) and I’m struggling with ranking my housing options. I’m 26, so while I’d still love to meet people and have some social life, my biggest priorities are honestly quietness, good sleep, and being able to study peacefully. At the same time, I want to stay close to campus because I sometimes stay late and as a girl I get nervous walking far at night. I’m trying to decide between options like 2bd/3 person, 2bd/4 person, studio, deluxe/classic triples, lofts, etc. For people who have lived in these, which ones did you feel were the quietest/safest/best overall? I’d really appreciate advice because I keep overthinking my rankings 😭
has anyone else encountered this short asian guy filming people without their consent w/ meta glasses on. it's genuinely so weird and ive recently came across his page and it full of videos of him doing the same thing to other people. any advice on how to get the videos taken down, pls lmk!
I really liked the stuff the big bang theory provided despite both the awards provide the same amount of money. I do believe TBBT scholarship will provide me better resources to succeed since they have nice connections and an amazing alumni community.
Did the funding change and am I still in the big bang theory cohort, or am I not anymore? :(
Im having such a hard time deciding where to go.
should i pick UCLA for linguistics & psychology or CAL for psychology?
for context i was admitted for my second choice major at ucla. But once im at a university, I would hope to be on a pre-health track for PA school.
What would u guys pick 😔
does anyone know a good paint match for the walls in the ua 😔
Are there any movements in the math major? I haven’t seen much about Math majors getting accepted off the waitlist, so I’m still waiting nervously…
Hi everyone, I'm an incoming student majoring in Ling/ CS, but I really want to take Stats 20 during the fall quarter to be able to petition to double major or potentially switch. Is the class usually packed by the time first pass comes around? Any advice would be much appreciated, thank you!
During a San Francisco Board of Supervisors hearing on reparations, an Asian American woman spoke in support of the proposal and directly credited Black civil rights and Black liberation movements with creating opportunities that benefited other communities, including Asian Americans. She told the board that she “wouldn’t be here” without the struggles and sacrifices made by Black Americans and argued that supporting Black people should be the bare minimum. Her testimony pushed back against the tendency of some non-Black communities to benefit from gains won through Black activism while distancing themselves from or minimizing that history. The moment drew attention online for its blunt acknowledgment of how Black civil rights victories reshaped opportunities across American society.
Is the smell strong over there or somewhat manageable.... No ash in the air yet right....
Dang, I can smell, what i think it is, the Sandy Fire flames from over here at the hill. I hope that people, their homes, and pets are kept safe :(
I have heard a lot about the academics for computer science and the clubs that UCLA has to offer. I have a few questions.
How are the job fairs for CS (and engineering related)?
How difficult is it to land an internship? How common are freshman or sophomore year internships?
Did you find that UCLA has strong connections with certain companies?
For new grads in the past few recent years, how difficult has it been to land a job? Are you happy with where you landed?
I recently got accepted to UCLA and went to bruins day and it seems like every one I met was very straight edged. I’m heavily tatted and have a very different look and personality than any of the people I saw or interacted with. Everyone was unbelievably kind and helpful but I just definitely didn’t feel like I fit in. Are there alt baddies and freaks and if so where are they because I need weird people in my life.
I promise this isn’t meant to dog on anyone I just want to find people I feel will accept me and not see me as a weirdo.
i have lived in westwood for three years and i somehow still do not understand how ticketing works here. i share a tandem parking spot in an off campus apartment. one of us parks in the spot and one of parks behind in the street with the sidewalk in between. on street cleaning days, i have been ticketed for being in the street, which makes sense, but i have also been ticketed for parking on the sidewalk. what do people who share tandem spots do on these days? i feel like i always see cars blocking the sidewalk or the street during sweeping and they don't get ticketed somehow?
hi everyone this is LWK A RANT but i feel like posting this here would help somehow since i dont rly have anyone to talk abt this w
ive been struggling to maintain friendships let alone make friends since my first year here. i am now reaching the end of my second year, and with my third year approaching i cant seem to find much optimism in my upcoming experience as a third year
my main issue is the fact that im studying computer engineering, and im not the smartest person in the room especially at an institution like ucla, but having to go to class and then go straight home and work on course work without really saying much to anyone is really weighing on me mentally and its beginning to weight in academically.
i did meet a lot of people my freshman year, and although i do make the effort to try and meet with them, talk to them, or even establish plans, people seem to be way too invested in their own obligations or already established cliques to consider my offers of friendship.
“try joining a club” as many say. unfortunately i did try going to clubs and getting to know people, however, as an engineering student i wish to join an engineering club to gain a variety of experiences in my field. but unfortunately these clubs tend to be over saturated and competitive. i have trouble with these environments in the clubs and end up dropping them for the quarter and then repeating the process the next.
im apartmenting as a second year, and i am also not from the socal area so i dont have a car. this probably could be the cause as well but the fact that so many people have established cliques so early on makes it hard for me to integrate myself in
i hate having to meet new people just for them to forget about me especially at a school as big as ucla
overall i just feel really lonely and mental troubles such as this have been weighing on me since freshman year, and it seems that it will be snowballing into my third year
i just want a friend group who i can study with, be close with, make memories with, and be myself with without having to put in extensive effort just to have their attention or consideration. i hate knowing everyone but no one really caring about me, and i just wish i had genuine connections with other people
anyways for those who read this i appreciate it, and for those going through something similar i hope to have helped to provide some kind of comfort despite this post being mostly negative
EDIT: i also like dont drink or party lwk ever i never was much if a party person and i dont like the idea of drinking or doing drugs an stuff like that but yea ik its pretty common for people to do when socializing im just not really about that
As the title says, I have been playing eye tag with a guy in one of my classes. Sometimes he looks at me, and sometimes I look at him. I'm debating whether to introduce myself, but since it is the end of the year, what do I have to lose? Any advice on how to do it? - thanks
EDIT update: Ngl, he seemed to have a cold demeanor in class today. I tried to look and tried to play eye tag with him. But he wasn't having it and didn't look back, I can't seem to put into words. But I can say that his vibe is were off, like cold almost. So, I didn't shoot my shot, and I don't think I will. Sorry to get everyone's hopes up, but I am really just a scaredy cat, so oh well. It is what it is.
i'm an incoming cs major at ucla. and have some free time this summer. while i'll definitely have fun, i wanna at least be semi-productive.
anyone have advice on what to focus on? currently planning to familiarize myself with c++ (for ucla lower-divs) and leetcode (for potential tech interviews).
i also want to work on projects, but not sure where to start. what kinds of projects actually stand out to recruiters? interested in ai/ml, but how can i differentiate myself?
thanks for the help!
