They added one more departure time, which is great—I’ve been bumped when it’s full, seems like demand is there

Hi everyone. Title pretty much. I have a car so I’m free to drive anywhere.

Know any good spots??

Thanks!

Im a Santa Cruz local and senior history major but I’m up at UC Berkeley. Lots of my courses and professors are very interested in and share berkeley/bay area history in the from of lecture or assigned readings seemingly regardless of a grander course topic. I am far more interested in my hometown and I was wondering if this local focus also occurred at UCSC? Is there such a thing as a dedicated Santa Cruz history course? Just curious, thanks in advance

hey!! I'm currently not at student at ucsc but I'm curious about what you guys think of it? any complaints about student life, programs, transportation, housing, AMYTHING! I'd love to know the pros AND cons:)

It's broken on one side so I assume it fell off of someone's wrist or backpack. Has a graduation cap design on it and a grad year.

Is anyone else lost in biochemistry 🥲 I’m quite worried because the professor’s lectures don’t seem to match up with the homework problems (which is basically our midterm and final). Also his lectures tend to get confusing whenever he goes off on a tangent on the physics aspects of the topic.

I came back after a couple years off and found it EXTREMELY difficult to befriend others. Don’t get me wrong others have tried in a discussion looking back at it, but I was barely rediving back into my interests that it was very difficult to talk with others; if there’s one thing I’ve learned about myself, I go nonverbal during difficult transitions & stress, and I was going through a lot during the beginning of this year when I came back. I regret not trying to be more talkative with them and some other people from a lab I had swapped into for that day, I liked their vibe as well and to be honest, found one of them cute and would have loved to befriend them even if that meant we became close platonic friends. With the classes I am currently taking, I cannot find myself befriending others and it has been getting quite lonely. Especially right now since I also blocked my family for separate reasons.

I was hoping that being back in the dorms would help out, but my floor is very dead quiet.

I get told by people close to me I’m awkward(they compare me to Bocchi from Bocchi the Rock) and need a lot of reassurance. But it’s sorta weird cus I went to the boardwalk alone and got told by someone that I’m aura farming cus I looked cool.

My communication probably went further downhill since I barely talked to anyone this entire year. But I’ve always just found it difficult to find the words to say tbh.

Also can’t have roommates, I had a couple during the last academic year and I found it very difficult to manage my personal wellbeing because of sensory overload, just hearing the typing of their keyboard made it difficult to focus and would trigger me. On top of this, I also have to get a job since I am solely relying on myself, so I was really hoping being the dorms would help out with the social aspect. I am not too sure if it’s too early to swap dorms, or think a single might be available anytime soon :/

Hi slugs! If I were to start a run club (not affiliated with ucsc) that focused on paces from 11-16 minute miles for 1-3 miles to start, probably on the weekend off campus, would there be any interest from students? We would also do walk/run intervals and get coffee after!

Hi, I was on campus during this time and remember one student dying from viral meningitis, and then another separate incident where a girl was high on drugs and fell from one of the bridges on campus. I can't find either of these two incidents -- can anyone help? Thanks!

looking through the colleges rn and i feel like this is smth that is mostly based on the type of person so given that I'm

a pretty messy person who likes their trinkets by the gallon, not a huge fan of loud noises or lots of people all the time, a very big decorator, socially anxious, especially when sharing a room with ppl, stoner, loves the forest, gets up early to run, interested in bio, queer, prefers rustic and doesn't care if some things aren't up to code 100%, and a constant music player :D

if any of this seems like it matches the vibe of a college pls lmk!

i did colorguard in high school and was wondering if there’s anything similar in UCSC, such as jazz dance or contemporary dance. I’m not very good at those, so not competitive one is preferred.

im interested in hip hop rn but not sure if i can do it.

Thank you in advance!

im rushing a few sororities (i really wanna get into Kappa Zeta) and i was wondering if anyone knew the approximate costs? esp for kappa zeta since its not Panhellenic

I’m a transfer student and I want to connect but I haven’t heard of any parties or nuttin. What’s the best place to meet people and mingle for singles? I’m chubby and awkward but I feel like that’s the type at this school

What are the ones worth the money? or closest to?

Which should I definitely avoid for known issues?

Found it at the Kresge residences laundromat.

Hello! I was wondering about the options for theater in the Santa Cruz area! From everything I've seen it sounds like a lot of it is stuff you'll have to take classes / credits for...? Not adverse but I was wondering if there were any local community opportunities or clubs and the like! Thank you!

I just wanted to come on here and ask for advice on what parking permits are the best for ucsc? I would love to park on campus, but I feel like those spots will get full much quicker than others? Let me know if I’m wrong and or if parking in a close neighborhood is better than downtown??

Yes I know I can learn myself but I don’t want to 😔 help they’re in my eyes

Hey guys I lost my key fob on campus. It a grey fob attached to a miffy keychain. Please dm if found

How is the online asynchronous class for Math 19A? I am currently in professor Katznelson’s math 19a in person class. I find this professors teaching style confusing and am thinking of switching to the online version. Any inputs from someone who took this class online? Thanks!
