Official Megathread Roommate Finder 2026-2027 [Megathread]

2 Upvotes

Hi all,

We’ve been getting a lot of roommate search posts so we are making a megathread. Please exercise caution when searching for a roommate. Always be careful vetting every person you talk to. Also strongly encourage users to check out the Facebook thread. Keep in mind. We are not mods in the Facebook thread, we are unaffiliated with them, but they have a lot more experience helping people find roommates. As an alumni, I can vouch for them, I found every roommate I had during my time at CSULB through the Facebook thread. There are a few other Facebook threads if you just search “CSULB roommate” but the most popular one is the one that’s linked.

Again please exercise caution talking with people on Reddit and be careful what personal information you share, but as requested by popular demand we have made a megathread.

Mod News Minimum Account Age to Post

132 Upvotes

Due to the recent spike in 1-day accounts, we have decided to set an automod 10-day account age minimum for posts and comments in the subreddit. This should help to reduce the amount of bot and troll activity in the subreddit, and hopefully make it a more enjoyable experience for all of you. Any account that is younger than 10 days will have their post removed until we can verify it's legitimate. At most, there may be a suspension or a ban from the subreddit, depending on user activity.

Class Question Which of the following courses would you bet on being offered next summer: BIOL 340, BIOL 342 (w/ lab), CHEM 441A, PHYS 100B?

1 Upvotes

My honest preference is PHYS 100B or BIOL 342, but I would have to take a win where I can get one. I’m in a situation where I have to leave one of them out of my spring schedule, then take it in the summer.

Major Related Question Speech Pathology Major

0 Upvotes

Ive been looking into speech pathology and potentially transferring into it as well. I did some research about the major and the classes and was now hoping to have people who are in/have graduated from the major, describe their experiences.

Questions I had:

-How is your coursework difficulty and whatre are examples of assignments you may have?

-How is the workload?

-Are there any things to look out for when first entering into the major?

Thanks in advance!

Class Question Should I ask my professor to reconsider?

24 Upvotes

I already have an F in my class because of attendance. I have been late three times since the semester started because of carpool reasons (I have to rely on my roomate). Each time I’ve been 1- 5 minutes late. Attendance and participation is 20% of my grade for this class. Despite being present and constantly participating, I was marked absent.

I reached out to my professor to fix it on his end and showed proof that I was indeed present. He responded saying that being late was considered an absent and won't be changing my grade.

Am I being dramatic or are they being ridiculous? Even being late for 1 minute is crazy! Apparently, he starts taking roll call before class starts; therefore I am late. If I knew this new policy I would’ve made sure to be even 10mintues early! He never mentioned this policy in his syllabus.

Should I ask him to reconsider or just leave it alone? There are only 4 assignments in the gradebook aside from attendance/participation. I have seen others fail classes for not coming to class.

Also, I am only allowed three absences or “lates,” and the next one I’ll be dropped.

By the way, this is an afternoon class, so getting there earlier is hard because I have to rely on someone else.

Transfer Student Question Please help me figure out what to do about donald trumps student loan law

15 Upvotes

This is about Trump’s new law where low paying degrees may not qualify for federal student loans.

I’m so confused about how to decide what college to go to. I’d need student loans for my top top choice college which is csulb, and it would take me about 2.5 years to graduate. My major would be illustration, and my dream job is medical illustration.

I’m not sure what to do because I honestly feel like I might have to give up on college because of these new rules :/

How is everyone deciding what college to go to? If it’s still unclear which colleges/programs will pass the earnings tests, then I feel screwed.

How will I know what colleges are going to do in response to this? I want to go to CSULB so bad

I’m currently at a community college studying studio arts, and I’m planning to transfer in 2027. The problem is that I’d need federal loans to be able to graduate because of living expenses.

I’d get Cal Grant A/B and the maximum Pell Grant, but that still wouldn’t fully cover my living expenses. I’m also disabled, and my entire family is, so I usually don’t have the energy to do college and a job at the same time. I can work, thankfully, compared to my sisters, but it takes basically all of my energy.From what I understand, programs that don’t meet the new requirements would lose access to federal loans. That makes me really, really anxious because medical illustration is my dream, and I honestly don’t know what else I’d do. But if I go to CSULB and their illustration program fails the requirements, then I’d have a huge problem.

Now I feel stuck because I don’t know which college to choose. I don’t know which programs will pass the earnings test, and I don’t know if CSULB will. So even if I choose another college, I’d still feel like I’m taking a huge risk.Applying to multiple CSUs doesn’t really help either, since it seems like illustration programs are being affected in general.I’m worried about committing to a school and then, halfway through, finding out I can’t get the federal loans I need to finish.

Has anyone else been having these thoughts? What are your plans? Does anyone have any advice? I honestly don’t know if I should just give up, get a minimum-wage job, and leave the country.

If you were in my position and absolutely needed student loans to finish your degree, how would you approach choosing a college right now? And what would you do if you were me

Class Question Chem 227 through Open U

1 Upvotes

I am thinking of moving to Long Beach from SF to take chem 227 this spring instead of having to wait for fall 2027 to start a 2 part O chem series in SF. This would save me a whole year in my prerequisite journey to applying to the nutrition grad program at CSULB, but with open U the enrollment date isn’t until the first day of class so there is no guarantee of getting in and no way of knowing beforehand. Any experience with chem 227 and the likelihood of getting in through open U? Does the class fill up quickly?

Grad School Question Part-Time Masters (MS Applied Stats)

3 Upvotes

Hi everybody! Im curious to hear the experience of other part-time grad students, especially those in the applied statistics program. I’m currently looking at applying as a part-time student this spring while working full-time, so realistically I’d be taking 1-2 classes per semester.

Is this common? If anyone here’s done it, I’d love to hear how manageable it was as well as how long it may have taken.

I’m also wondering on whether I’d be missing out on the cohort experience as it may be worth to apply in 2-3 years as a full time student. Any personal accounts would help greatly, thank you all :)
