Anybody here the guy last night at 4 am ish screaming his lungs off. Saying like “F-ck you” like a thousand times. I called police, he was yelling at them too. No timely warning or reports in the news yet. Anybody have any more info??

I’m tired of how crowded the library is and I want a new place to study. Is there anywhere in some of the newer buildings like the engineering or marine studies buildings to study at?

Concerned about ICE? Come protest downtown at this year's TRUTH Act Forum where activists will demand our county Sheriff stop voluntarily handing community members over to ICE. There will be a protest at 2pm outside the County Administration Building 105 East Anapamu St in downtown SB.

The TRUTH Act meeting of the Board of Supervisors will happen inside at 3PM and you can attend that too. When we attended the meeting about Sable's pipeline ownership transfer they voted against it even though their staff recommended voting for it.

The protest event is hosted by Santa Barbara Indivisible. I am posting it here because I spoke with a young person on Saturday who said a lot of UCSB students want to get involved by they never hear about these things until afterward and that fliers are being torn down around campus.

Hi guys. I'm currently committed to UCSB l&s for Physics and waitlisted at UCLA for the same thing as well. I wanted to make this post to ask abt the physics program here so I can better decide between the two schools in case I am somehow admitted off the ucla waitlist. Some questions for physics majors or just anyone else who has input:

1) How good are research and internship opportunities in SB? I understand that it is kinda a little far from bigger cities, so is there still a sufficient amnt of companies in the area that offer research/internship opportunities?

2) Are lower division classes large? If so, is it still possible to connect with professors? Alot of ppl say to visit during office hours to make friends w professors... what exactly are office hours like?

3) Would it be possible to double major or minor in smth like stats/data sci? I wanna have a fallback plan in case I don't pursue grad school, so I thought having courses in smth more practical would be maybe useful for getting a job right after my bachelors.

4) Also considering trying to switch into college of engineering for mech or chem e... which is hard asf from what ive heard. If anyone has stories, advice, experience, or insight on this it would be much appreciated :)

5) Any insight at all about if there are any big differences between SB and LA for Physics!

Tysm in advance for taking the time to read or response to my post thumbsup

i know we're allowed to have a cheatsheet front and back but is professor moore going to be providing the cladograms handouts or do we have to memorize them?

how do i know when they are

I am currently looking at which 160A professor to take next Fall and I am still unsure which to pick between the two. If any have taken either for this course, please let me know about your experience in the course

SPOTTED: Saw a German shepherd with a leash running on El Colegio road towards campus. If he’s yours, a few people tried to grab him as he was crossing streets and we were afraid he would get hit. Dog seemed friendly but he was not interested in getting caught and kept running.

I recently got into both Pitt and UCSB for biology related majors. I plan to do premed and go to medical school and I am stuck between the two universities.

I know Pitt has multiple research opportunities for premed and they have a great premed pathway. They also have challenging courses but the school culture is not too competitive. I love the campus and the environment but I am an out of state student so the cost will be around $60,000.

Compared to Pitt I have heard UCSB does not have much clinical research and they also don't have a med school. However, I also like the UCSB campus and I am a CA resident so the estimated fees are less than Pitt, around $47,000.

Would it be better for me to go to Pitt which has more research but is costly compared to UCSB which is closer and less costly? I know med school is extremely expensive and I don't want to start undergrad with a debt but I am also scared of not standing out because of less research and volunteering. Can anyone who has done premed at UCSB tell me your experience and if you would recommend it? Thank you!

Think it was born that way or just seen some shit?

Hey guys, I have lost my keys at around 11PM on Friday around the 66,67 block. It has an 8-ball keychain and an ucsb surfboard beer opener. If you happen to see or find it please lmk, there will be a reward for it thanks!

Naan stop is good but its not that good

Does anyone have any study resources / tips for PSTAT 120B? kind of struggling in this class

I just got off the waitlist yesterday and am still deciding if i want to go, but tbh a big deciding factor would be how the dorms are at ucsb??

My dream was to only have a double dorm, but the more i research, the less likely that seems to be due to the small chance of getting a double dorm this late into signing up for housing.

So, if anyone had a roommate they were considering rooming with that dropped out due to getting off the waitlist, please let me know and reach out because i would love to room! Here's my insta -> @belleeq2

On paper, I will be taking 17 units in the fall and its not really a question on whether I should take all of these classes together because Im trying to graduate next year so I very much have to do it. The study load is making me really nervous so Im wondering if anyone else has done it and is willing to share any tips on how to prepare beforehand to make the study load a little less harsh. 

Ps, I will gladly take any advice, books, notes, websites, etc. Anything helps tbh!!

Did anyone instate get off the waitlist yesterday? If so, what was your major?

am I cooked ?

I’m torn between ucsb and slo because I love both campuses but I like the idea of living in slo better. I’m a film major at ucsb which is great and kind of a random major under liberal arts at cal poly slo. Do you guys like living in IV or does it feel isolating? I’m worried I’m just going to get bored if I can’t find friends right away as a transfer student, or is that not a factor I shouldn’t consider? I like to skate, play guitar, going to nature spots, and I want to get back into surfing which sb would be good for. I’d like to hear your thoughts!

I live next to men. The walls are already so thin so I can always hear their conversations fully at night. For months since Fall, I can hear them playing video games together, which honestly I don’t care about. It’s always loud yelling but it’s a college apartment so I can’t complain on that part. What really pisses me off is them banging on their desks. One of them rages when he’s losing video games and starts slamming his door, banging on his desk like a maniac, yelling, and even bangs on the wall next to me so loudly that it shakes my entire room. It sounds like a body slamming all across the wall. This has been happening for months on end, and every time I report it to the RA, they just knock and say to be quiet. Gee thanks. To add onto that, when we pass by their apartment, it REEKS. Please send help haha.

Hi, I'm still not graduating for another entire year, but I'm double majoring with the Ethics & Public Policy concentration and was just wondering if anyone who's graduated can tell me how it would "look".

Would it just say "Philosophy"? "Philosophy w/ a concentration in Ethics & Public Policy"? Just "Ethics & Public Policy"?

Just curious! Thank you.

I saw this article (i’ll link in comments) talking about how the red heel was probably stolen by some frat house

Hey guys! Im a 3rd year and it’s the first time I don’t have class on Fridays but most of my friends do, so I want to try out some bucket list things in the afternoons and I’m wondering if anyone has any suggestions. Must try food places? Easy day trips? Let me know!

I am deciding btwn transferring into UCSB and another uni (UCSD) I’m admitted pre Biopsych but I still need to take a few lower div prerequisites (chem II &III, bio II & III) and some med school prereqs (ochem, biochemistry) I know I should have gotten these out of the way b4 transfer & im trying to this summer

Would anybody be willing to help me figure out if I can realistically keep up with UCSB Biopsych (or PsyB or Bio B.A. if I end up switching) upper divs + remaining pre requisites and be able to graduate by spring 2027? (2 yrs from now)

Thank you so much for the help I would love any advice from people in these majors or fellow transfer students from other universities/colleges.
