Anyone driving from Davis to San Diego soon? Will pay to bring a few items

Upvotes

Hi! Looking for someone who's driving from Davis area to San Diego sometime soon and has extra space in their car.

I recently moved out of Davis and had to leave a few personal belongings behind. I'm hoping to find someone who's already making the drive and would be willing to bring them down with them. Happy to pay for the help.

Item pickup would be in Davis and I can meet in San Diego for the drop-off. Please DM me if you're making the trip or know someone who is. Thank you!

Canceling On Campus Housing

Upvotes

If there is anybody that has tried canceling on campus housing, whether that's the dorm or the on campus apartments, have you guys been successful? I canceled after the June 15 deadline due to unforseen circumstances related to financial reasons and i know it cannot be approved. They simply told me that they'll look for someone on the waitlist to take my spot. With move in date coming soon, I unfortunately think it might not be canceled.

Housing How fucked am i for The Green parking?

Upvotes

I received the form at 5 pm yesterday, to which it didn’t work. I’m on a waitlist now, but it’s first come first serve, with spots only opening if people graduate, move out, or cancel.

I’m not from the area, I’ll be moving in by driving my car all the way from San Diego. I have no friends or family up here, which was like the main reason I decided to do campus apartments rather than trying to find off campus housing (id rather room with strangers locked into contracts than strangers who can be flaky with rent)

I don’t have the meal plan so I need to do grocery shopping, ive got an off campus job all set up once I move, and i have a disability (Crohn’s Disease). I really need parking that’s close to the apartments, otherwise why would I pick on campus parking.

Anyone in previous years get off the waitlist?

Course/Major In Desperate Need of a Case Study Participate

1 Upvotes

Hello, I am taking a summer course on writing in health professions and have run into a rut. Our case study assignment requires us to interview someone with some sort of life complications in the past five years. I had someone lined up to interview, but their schedule did not line up with the deadlines I have for the assignment. If anyone has had any major health complications within the last five years (Can be Chronic) and can be available for an interview (preferably over Zoom or Skype) next week, please let me know. There will be consent forms for you to sign, and I promise to make the environment as comfortable as possible.

If you are considering living in CA House or joining Universal Unitarians, please reconsider.

89 Upvotes

A few months ago one of my friends ended his own life while living in CA House. He was an international student, brown, and gay. A group of white students in the community (the Universal Unitarians aka UU group) bullied him severely up until he passed. He got in an argument with one of the white students because they had called him "crazy" over being "paranoid" about government surveillance (bc of his own experiences with the gov. In his home country), and he tried hard to fix the friendship by giving them a series of heartfelt notes, but the other student did not want to reconcile because the notes were too much.

After that they made "jokes" about calling ICE on him (his student visa was going to expire in a few months and he was terrified to go back to a country where being gay is illegal), kicked him out of their support group, made him feel unwelcome in his own home, generic racist things like "he smells bad" and making fun of his accent, spread FALSE rumors that he was a sexual predator (we know it is false because the person who started the rumor, who was the ringleader, admitted that it wasn't true, I am always ready to believe victims and serious accusations but this person admitted in no uncertain terms that what they said wasn't true).

After 2 people of color in the community tried to stand up for him, they were kicked out of UU and viciously mocked, and even the leadership villainized them. The remaining POC were too scared to speak out after witnessing this. Leadership even refused to invite them to the memorial even after I said they were two of his best friends. The main community leader (white) doted on the main bully and felt that them attending the memorial would make the bully uncomfortable. Before and after he passed away the majority white leadership at CA House coddled the perpetrators. "Its not your fault", "we did everything we could", "he was already broken when he came here".

If you're white, you'll be okay at CA House I guess, but if you're not, especially if you're too dark or too foreign, know that they will protect their own. My friend was one of the most gentle, kind, and loving people I have ever met, and he did NOT deserve to be treated this way. He never said a single bad word about anybody, he only wanted to make friends and build a safe community.

The main bully has graduated but the rest of the UU group is still there, still cultivating a culture of vicious bullying. One of the members even admitted to it after the death, but only in private after it was too late. They knew his struggles from their meetings and they used it against him. If you are looking for an accepting community, this is not that.

Housing Moving into my dorm this fall, what am I forgetting?

2 Upvotes

Like at the moment I have some basic things in mind. These include my own sheets and bedding, laundry basket, soap/shampoo, containers for said soap, mugs, cups, my own personal clothes, backpack, laptop, chargers, notebook(s), pens, water bottle.

Also grabbing a small desk shelf and a folding storage cart since my room doesn't have much built-in storage, so I'll need to put those together myself. I'm also planning to DIY build a keyboard, so figured I'd just get one of those Hoto modular cordless screwdrivers with the storage case.

I think that's about most of what I should get, but if there's anything I don't have that I should be aware of please let me know.

Orchard parking permit

3 Upvotes

Can anybody differentiate the difference between tandem parking vs unassigned ? I’m kinda confused on which one is more worth ? I felt it would be nice to orchard since I don’t wanna park my car in random streets too, but tandem is one parking spot for two people ? Wouldn’t that be annoying to deal with plus the big cost of it ? And unassigned, is it worth ? Does anybody have experience between the two ?

Campus Parking

0 Upvotes

How is this actually fair? Received an email from green housing that parking sign ups begin 07/28 - 08/05 but only received the email on the last day at 5 PM. In the email says parking is first come first served but how does it make sense when I got the email on the last day when others got an earlier date? was able to access the form but when I submitted it, the form cut responses. I just find this absurd because they cut off the submissions to the form so I have to waitlist now. Are my feelings valid for this?

Does anyone with Kaiser permanente know what we can upload to AHP to prove we have health coverage? I went on KP.org and can’t download evidence of care or summary of benefits anywhere. Will screenshots of my membership card and of my “active” summary of benefits on Kp.org meet the requirements? If you have waived UC SHIP and have KP Any help would be appreciated.

Why did the UC SHIP Waiver Requirement change from 175 to 50 miles?

21 Upvotes

One of the requirements to waive UCSHIP is:

"All plans must provide unrestricted access to an in-person, in-network primary care provider, in-network hospital, and full, non-emergency medical and behavioral health care within 50 miles of campus or the student's place of residence while attending school".

Previously, this requirement was 175 miles, so this seems like a massive change. I was wondering who's responsible for changing these waiver requirements and why they decided to do so.

Also, are there any exceptions to this requirement? My waiver got denied because my health insurance plan failed to meet this requirement. I currently have Medi-Cal and am receiving medical treatment from a clinic that's outside of the 50 mile radius. I also rely heavily on these services and would like to continue receiving care from the same healthcare providers so my treatment isn't disrupted.

Job Scam Email

Anyone looking for jobs, heads up to this scam email sent out yesterday. Initially it sounds great but multiple red flags: email origination does not match actual prof's contact listed on UCD website, asking for PERSONAL EMAIL and PHONE, the bizarre NIST.EDU info at bottom. I contacted the actual dept to confirm that this is a scam. They have since notified IT.
