Hi! Our son is waitlisted for UCI Physics major + Chem eng minor. He's been accepted to SLO for Physics.

We visited SLO, and the vibe is amazing. I'm curious how the physics dept is in particular.

I went to UCLA as a transfer Physics major, and the experience was less than stellar. The professors were a mixed bag from great (10%), average (30%), mediocre (60%). Name recognition is probably the benefit to UCLA over other schools, but SLO is highly prestigious IMO. I don't want our son being miserable because of garbage research-minded professors, like I was.

Graduate this spring in civil engineering, no luck yet.

i guess it's official??

new email talks abt it: "we are sharing an update on planning for Year-Round Operations (YRO) with the goal of a phased implementation beginning in Summer 2028."

we're so cooked i do not want ts :/

Where are there pianos that anyone can play around campus? Where are they?

My son is going to be an incoming freshman and he likes to cook and save money. Nothing huge but like oatmeal or scrambled eggs. We took the virtual dorm tours and noticed that some of the dorms have communal kitchens. How reasonable would it be for him to be able to cook eggs every morning for example?

I've heard from students around campus (after visiting) that switching to CE (computer engineering) gives me more doors to explore for companies.

i'm mostly worried about the fact that they might see CE as tangential to CS which is why this isn't a clear cut decision for me.

Trying to get into cs internships (but ive heard like apple likes an engineering component?) and i dont mind a little hardware but software is the focus

when are year-round operations starting? how long is each class taken in year-round operations vs semester? I've heard a lot of talk about it but not much about the specifics.

Hello, I am an incoming student and I wanted to reach out here to see if anybody is interested in forming a group to gig.

I love funk/rock/jazz. Feel free to hit me up and talk. Thanks for reading.

When we register for fall 2026? Incoming 2nd year

I would be extremely grateful and even willing to pay some money if I could borrow someone's bachelors graduation regalia. I would love not to spend 90 dollars on this sort of thing. I'm 5'3", please dm me if you're willing to help me out.

Thought I'd post here cause there's often a flock heading down south after grad. Wondering if anyone is moving to the south bay (Redondo/Hermosa Beach) with a lease starting in June and wants a housemate. Preferably <2k/mo. Also down to go a bit further inland... or North.. if necessary.

Dm me and lets talk

Did you guys buy your tickets through an app / site called posh? I’m looking to buy resold tickets and the person is giving them through Posh which I’ve never heard of- is it legit ?
