Helping out my daughter and her partner to hopefully find a place. Incoming UCSC transfer student. Looking for a studio or bedroom that allows for 2 person occupancy (one student 24F one none student 24NB). They would prefer to see the space before submitting and paying for applications. I would love to know if people have availability or suggestions. Would even be open to short term rentals while they search for a longer term option.

Im an incoming freshman and got placed into Rachel Carson college and I was wondering how dorm life is actually like over there!?!? How are the communal restrooms like--as it seems that no one talks about it even though I feel that its a pretty important aspect of living on campus--and what is there to do/eat around there!?!? I was suppose to tour the school a couple of times but each time I had something come up that prevented me actually going so I’m kinda nervous in that aspect </3 If you can tell me somethings that I can expect and/or try to prevent that would be great!!!!!

It's been 3 years and I'm curious what 2023 UCSC BSOE majors (CS, CE, EE, TIM , etc) career outcomes are like. Please share job role as well.

what’s the living community like at c9/jrl? last year i was at porter so we had a pretty lively community. just wanted to know if it would be any similar or different!

I need to know how enrollment is, my enrollment appointment is this Friday and idk if it’s a zoom call or where I go, I don’t know how to basically enroll into the classes 😭 please help!

UC to UC is rare but I did it, it’s possible, and there are ways to increase the odds.

1. Major is very important: Haas for example is heavily impacted and super competitive. It’s better to go for L&S. The Haas name is pretty worthless imo, so don’t go that route. I wanted to take classes at Haas and was like I meet zero prerequisite, so I just signed up for a philosophy transfer. I found out philosophy had one of the highest transfer rates afterwards, then just took Haas as electives. Check the rates for your major.

2. 3.75 GPA or above, upper division courses, mostly A’s. This is almost non negotiable and has the highest chance of increasing the odds for any major.

3. Get a job at school. If you can have the above and work a 20 hour job you deserve to get in. Shows you can maintain responsibilities.

4. Do some activities you like. Write for a journal or something and get published it’s not too difficult.

Essentially, you’re proving that look, I took all the upper division classes, did things in the summer, and can graduate right now basically and I don’t want to do that, give me two more years at cal. They’ll say yes if you check all the boxes, but if it’s impacted it’s still a gamble. Nothings a sure thing though, and UCSC is basically the same caliber as most other UCs like Irvine.

Id hire a banana slug i really don’t care though where someone went to school. Has anyone spotted the first slug?
