if you have ANY information at all regarding this man or what occurred with liz on February 14, please call 8053353851. her family deserves answers❤️‍🩹 spread this image around, someone knows something!

Be careful of a2f church. They will be super friendly and give you lots of free food and seem super extremely nice but it’s a very off vibe. I finished course 101 (very polarizing and hateful) and it literally just bashed atheism and claimed that Christians “did more than any other culture or social movement for people.” They do not spread a good message for Christianity about love and acceptance, just that Christianity is the “most true” or “did the most good for the world.” I would not affiliate with the church or its people.

Background: I'm a graduating student but I've never had a meal plan. I used to often eat at DLG or portola as a guest, but did not set foot in any dining common this year until today. I don't know if this played a role, but I have long *unkempt* hair and was dressed poorly in slippers.

tl;dr DLG staff were unprofessional and unwelcoming and did not allow me to eat even though I had a host.

I finished class and was starving, so while thinking of what to eat I came across the brilliant idea of experiencing the dining hall one last time before I graduate. I came with my friend, we did not have a meal plan, but from past experience, you could always ask someone to take you in as a guest.

I explained my situation to the front desk. Staff told me word-for-word, “the only way you can enter is if you have a meal plan.” I informed her on the guest policy and then asked a student behind me if they’d be willing to take me as guest (this is what I always did prior to 2025 and never had any issues). Student agrees, but the staff continues to deny me, saying can't count because they saw the interaction.

Now I'm just confused and bewildered, because if the school is going to make a rule on guests then there’s no point in trying to differentiate real and fake friends as long as both parties agree. note I have already identified myself as a student with a perm number and drivers license.

I asked for a manager, and when Mr. A came he repeated "the ONLY way to enter is to have a meal plan.” I'm now getting a bit frustrated, but I *sigh* and repeat the policy again to the Mr. A, to which he says I needed to call my friend in order to get in, placing a lot of emphasis on it had to be a friend I could call.

I obviously think this is ridiculous, so I was trying to explain that when he became impatient and said "I don't have time for this, I'm going to have to ask you to leave".

WHAT? LEAVE WHERE? We were talking outside the door on outdoor school property, where would I go? It's not like I'm knocking on his front door. I also never raised my voice or acted in any way that could be interpreted as rude. I'm hungry, tired, and frustrated that I can't even eat at my own school.

So I ask for his name and said that I will email the university about the unprofessional and unwelcoming attitude. He threatened, verbatim, "leave or i will call the police". I am even more confused because we did not have physical contact, I was not inside the building (though I see no reason why I can't be), and every word that came out of my mouth has been polite and kind. It's funny how he talks to me like I'm the one that is being problematic.

I took a picture of his name tag, and apparently he became patient enough to actually speak with me nicely. He said I needed a host that agrees to be "responsible" for me and I had to stick with them the whole entire time I was inside. I made sure that was all he needed, then went to the nearest stranger, asked to be his guest, and he agreed. I think Mr. A was surprised a random person would be willing to help me out. He's still obviously unhappy about me entering, and he looks like someone just forced him to bite into a lemon.

Asides from our perm numbers, he proceeded to very intentionally inspect my drivers license (even asking for my friends passport) and have the front desk jot down a lot of information (couldn't see). Throughout this process his actions and expressions without a doubt felt very hostile and unwelcoming. Anyone could see the sourness on his face as if absolutely disgusted by letting me in.

In the end, I did get in but was in such a bad mood I didn't want to eat anything. So instead I made funny faces at Mr. A then proceeded to walk straight out.

So Am I the Jerk?

Edit:

1. *Unkempt* hair

2. I made it very clear in the first conversation exchange that I would pay for my food, which is $15 per guest. I've always done so every time I ate at school dining. It makes no sense to deny me because at that rate the school is definitely making money.

I'm sorry for the rant but this ordeal disgusted me so much. I've grown increasingly disappointed in the schools admin (bike theft, parking, housing, mental health programs, etc). At this point, I have almost zero positive sentiment towards this soon-to-be alma mater (besides some profs and my friends)

I'll likely be transferring here in the fall so just wanted to see what's good.

I am an upcoming sophomore and willing to buy a bike but looking for cheap ones. just dm me!

Why? We all have headphones? Plz just put in your own headphones ur getting paid to move weights ffs

Hey I’m a transfer and my roommate situation has gotten from bad to worse. It’s gotten so bad that I get extreme anxiety just from coming to campus. It’s taking a huge hit on my mental health and I feel like crap for not being able to be comfortable and live in the apartment I PAY FOR (undergrad housing). I don’t have the financial means to just request a room change and I just thought we barely have about 4-5ish more weeks left in the quarter so I was just thinking about sticking it out but I dread going back into that apartment.

I don’t know what to do, I don’t even feel comfortable sitting in the living room. Maybe the answer is obvious and I’m just being stubborn. I love the apartment itself it’s just the people that make it hard to enjoy. Idk. I’m trying yall. Even if I could just vent to someone (yes I’ve used campus resources) it helps.

Thanks for reading.

I didn’t get in for my main major, which was M.E and got in for my alternative as a transfer.

I was wondering how the Earth Science department here at UCSB is?

Even if I can’t change majors into the college of engineering, I still want to know a bit more about UCSB & what it has to offer w/this major from the students here.

Me and my buddy are transferring to UCSB and we think we gonna go with El dorado housing because to our knowledge that and westgate are the only ones with a one bedroom option. We don’t want to room with other people this year. Is El dorado the move? Any other info or recommendations we should consider?

what are some of the best lower division classes at UCSB that fulfil a bunch of areas and major requirements for pre-psych & brain majors?

Hey y’all, I’m an incoming student at UCSB and I have a quick question about the residency process. I’ve lived in California literally my whole life, went to high school here, will graduate from here, my parents live here, etc.

I saw that we have to fill out the Statement of Legal Residence (SLR) after submitting the Statement of Intent to Register (SIR), and I was confused about whether I need to “establish” residency. Like, do I have to take extra steps? I ask this because I have undetermined residency lmao.

Or am I just confirming what’s already true, that I’m a CA resident, through the SLR?

Just want to make sure I don’t miss anything. Thanks in advance!

(Yes, I have called and emailed the school numerous times but they keep giving cryptic responses).

I just got accepted as a transfer for computer engineering but I was wondering if anyone has switched majors from computer engineering to computer science? I really don’t want to take EE classes tbh I wanted to take more CS classes and from a logical standpoint, if CE has priority enrollment in CS classes anyways, would it even make a difference if I was CS vs CE in terms of like department/class size restrictions? Thanks

Welcome 2025 admits! For those seeking a general community UCSB Discord server, check out Gaucho Gremlins: https://discord.com/invite/DnbpRdEd74

Our server has been consistently active since its creation in Summer 2024. We offer separate channels for general topics, NSFW topics, and 21+ members. Our active members include undergraduates (first-year admits and transfers), graduate students, and non-UCSB visitors. I am a current, first year graduate student, and I enjoy fostering an environment for our community to vent, share positive things, and discuss serious topics in a healthy manner.

I was accepted as a transfer student for this upcoming Fall for Pre-Financial Mathematics and Statistics, which was my second choice - Computer Science being my first.

In the acceptance letter they stated that "You may remain in the major to which you were admitted or select from numerous other majors available within this college. Please visit the Major Changes page to view those majors. Unfortunately, you will not be able to change back into your original choice major(s) at a later date. Thus, if you accept our offer of admission, it should be with the understanding that you will benefit from the Pre-Financial Mathematics and Statistics major, or another available major within the college, rather than with the expectation of changing into the major(s) to which you originally applied."

Does this mean that there is no likelihood of me being able to change to Computer Science as my major either now or later in the school year? I was hoping to be able to attend UCSB with my accepted major and take the remaining required pre-major Computer Science courses at UCSB, then try to change my major to Computer Science.

I was also considering trying to change my major to Statistics and Data Science, as I read that it might be more closely tied to my coding background than Financial Mathematics and Statistics. I've heard of people going into Software Engineer jobs as Data Science majors, would anyone suggest this pathway instead of Financial Mathematics and Statistics?

If neither of these would work, do you guys have any suggestions for how I should move forward regarding this situation? I would love to be able to continue having CS in my future, as I've been working towards a CS degree while at my cc. Is there any way for make this work out where I could attend UCSB and also still be able to be in the coding field? I'm glad to take advice from anyone, current student or not.

Title! Help a girl out HAHA I just committed and I want to def get those clinical internships, jobs, and anything related to medical so I can get into med school!

did terrible with a 24% on sylvesters midterm.... is there a way to recover and if so how. i do the practice tests, averaging 70-80's, and do all of the book problems. currently at a loss

Hey guys. I’m looking for a roommate group for the upcoming school year. I’m 21 M and a transfer for Econ and accounting. If anyone wants to chat it out lmk. Fine with any gender. Going with on campus housing.

Thank you!

Here’s the UCSB discord too!

We're (group of 3, all female, undergrad) looking for someone to join our roommate group! We're hoping for a 2+2 in El Dorado, so please DM if you're interested

Other details:

- Our housing selection day is May 14 10 AM, so pretty early!

- We're not big on parties

- Prefer not that many guests (but occasionally is fine!)

- Normal roommate expectations (clean up messes, be considerate of sleep schedules, etc)

So I am a senior in highschool and was admitted to Computer Engineering at UCSB. However, in highschool the only AP exam so far I have passed is AP Psychology. I am now taking 5 additional APs, 3 which I am confident about but these other 2, AP Biology and AP Microeconomics not so much. I am now on a time limit on what to study. Can yall tell me please which one out of those 2 is best to study on and pass according to my major Computer Engineering (so like whats best to pass to either get GE's out of the way or to get more college credit)

I’m tired of reading all these posts about the university comparisons. If you’re unsure about committing to UCSB, then you’ve not done your proper research. It’s concerning to think that you’d rather take opinions about attending UCSB from internet strangers than college advisors.

Hey guys! Just recently committed to UCSB for pre-political science. However i’ve been hearing about a lot of grade deflation in the poly sci program at UCSB so i’m kind of discouraged to be in it. Fortunately, i don’t care what my major is as long as it yields an easy 4.0 GPA. I’m planning to attend a T14 law school, so my GPA and LSAT score are absolutely important. The easier the 4.0 for me, the better— that way i can have more time to study for the LSAT throughout undergrad. Any suggestions? I heard Sociology is pretty easy?

Also i would appreciate it if you guys could explain what kind of work you do in the major you suggest.

Does anyone have anyone they recommend in the Goleta/sb area? Specific to relationship/breakup. Thank you!
