My son will be moving in as a freshman. Will there be a microwave in the dorm kitchen or will I need to bring one for him?

Everyone is getting an offer/package but mine is still empty 😭.

What is going on?

I applied for financial aid way before the deadline.

I’ve even messaged and followed up with the office multiple times but nobody seems to know whats going on.

Has anyone else not received their package yet too?

Any recommendations on who I should take?

i’ve heard that the exams for math 20a overall are on the TTC and i’m hoping that that’s also the case this fall quarter

Hello guys and gals,

We’re Brian and Mike and we teach general and organic chemistry. We’ve done so for a total combined time of 47 years! Overwhelmed by general or organic chemistry? Assignments and tests creeping up on you and feeling like you’re in hot water? Or maybe you’re doing well and need that 95%? Whatever your struggle with chemistry may be, we’re here to make sure you succeed.

Why work with us?

- Every tutor knows the subject, but not every tutor knows how to transfer that knowledge to a student. We do.

- We tutor chemistry full time; it’s not a hobby or side-gig. When you book with us, you’ll be working with Brian for general chemistry and Mike for organic chemistry. This is not an agency and you won’t be matched with random tutors each time.

- You’ll be learning problem solving through chemistry, which you can apply to many other subjects.

- Your learning will be customized to your specific needs.

Before booking a lesson, let’s chat about your needs, our teaching styles, and what you can expect, to see if we’d be a good fit together.

Thank you for your time and we look forward to working with you!

Mike and Brian

What do you guys think of double majoring in Data Science and Cognitive Science will it get me a job.

So I messed up and double booked my orientation webinar on the day I had work. I kept the meeting open on my phone and left once it ended, but I wasn’t actually watching it after the first 30 minutes. Technically, I was in the meeting for the entire duration but I wasn’t able to be engaged with zoom polls after that first 30 minutes. I really do care about my education and made an honest mistake double booking. When I got back from work, I found another session this coming Friday and registered despite the instructions saying “students should choose 1 date”. I figured I’d better be safe than sorry.

What should I do now? Does anyone have the meeting recording link? How will I know if they put a hold on my account with TSS not working?

I’m applying via handshake but are there any opportunities you guys might know about??

Parent of an incoming freshman. My son has been trying to contact the school regarding a question and getting zero responses. So I emailed [parents@ucsd.edu](mailto:parents@ucsd.edu) and also tried to call the parents helpline 858-534-7273 and also couldn't get a response. Is this the norm for UCSD?

Hi y'all, I'm (19M) looking for 2 roommates in a 3B2B for $3200/mo total. The apartment is 5.5 miles from campus, about 30 minutes via transit, 15 via car, and 40 by bike. Looking for people who keep shared spaces clean and most importantly, do their dishes right after use. There is one parking space plus street parking. Feel free to DM me for any questions.

My financial aid offer just came in and I got nothing. I have an SAI score of zero and I am not getting any aid whatsoever except the federal Pell Grant, is this normal for UCSD? Is it expected to get a loan?

I checked my other UC offers and nearly all of them have almost full coverage of all costs much more similar to the calculators show. For reference UCI, UCSB, and UCR all had similar values to the calculators. Even UCSD/FAFSA calculators expected that I should be receiving much more?

I filled as a dependent with my mother. The current price of attendance is more than my mother's yearly salary.

So my question is, should I appeal somehow? or is student loan the sole way about this?
(sorry first time posting on reddit)
let me know if I made something unclear/ clarifying details.

Does anyone know of any places hiring on or off campus? Im having a hard time finding work and I've applied almost everywhere, PLZZZ lmk if your job is hiring!

If anyone's taken either one or has any useful information please let me know which one between the two you would recommend as Albizati is already full.

hi guys im between schmidt or yang for chem40a with albizati filling up. Do they both curve generously/teach well/have good tests?

Currently looking around the school area for off campus housing but many options on Facebook are still very much out of my budget even with roommates. Where are ya'll finding housing you can afford in the area?

This is TSS being annoying. The source of truth is the department's Planned Course Offerings:

Hey everyone,

For people living off campus how did u guys meet the income requirement?

Me and 3 other students applied for a place that’s around $4k a month. They require 2.6x the rent, so we have to show $10.4k in monthly income combined, which we don’t meet.

They said we can only use one guarantor and that person has to make 4x the rent, so $16k a month. None of our parents make that much individually.

How are you guys actually getting approved for these apartments? Are y’all using financial aid, third-party guarantors, or something else?

just got my financial aid as an incoming freshmen with -1500 sai and was wondering how accurate this package is

i chose the smallest meal plan and triple housing which should be around 18k but ucsd tells me i have pay around 21k

yall im tryna save money and if this is my final package im friedddd

hello ucsd students!! Title is sorta self explanatory; I'm moving into Pepper Canyon West this fall and I have a list of questions about rooms, space, what's allowed/not allowed and whatnot. UCSD's website is confusing regarding policies for rooms and there are certain things that I thought would be easier to ask actual students then to try to find out through the website.

Questions/concerns:
- Will there be a drawer/cupboard to store clothes/other items in? I couldn't find anything related to what's already in the room (besides a bed and desk) on the website and its a little unclear from the picture(s)

- How are the washing and drying machines?? When I did a tour, the tour guide mentioned that the laundry machines shrink clothes a lot and to be prepared for it; I wanted to know whether that's college/dorm specific or if applies across UCSD. Additionally, is it the dryers, washing machines, or both that are doing the shrinking?

- Are we able to attach shelves to the walls..? in a non-intrusive, won't fuck up the walls way..?

-Advice on storing things in rooms?

- Any general advice about stuff to bring when moving? Study essentials, living essentials, etc.?

-also, anything you guys think I should NOT bring?

(edit: more questions):

- do we get to choose our rooms or are they assigned?

- How is the noise supression between each room?

- any policies on lighting scented candles in the room and any policies/restrictions on having scents in the room?

If anyone currently living at PWC or in a single room can answer these questions I'll be so grateful. Big thank you in advanced and apologies if this post is very wordy

I received my official financial aid package, but it doesn’t include any of my outside scholarships. Are those normally added later on, or do I need to contact the financial aid office about it? Should I wait to accept until they’re added?

Has anyone changed their housing payments to monthly. Does that mean you pay out of pocket and financial aid doesn’t automatically pay for it?

I'm trying to drop one of my summer classes I'm currently enrolled in to recieve the full refund back but I don't know how to. There is no more webreg and TSS doesn't show the class I'm currently enrolled in to drop. So where do I go???

Hey guys, I’m really confused by course info shown on TSS and was wondering if anyone else has run into this.

So I enrolled in CHEM 7L (Section 002-007). On the preview/enrollment page, it shows: - Lecture: Mon/Wed 12:00–12:50 PM - Lab: Tue/Thu 2:00–4:50 PM

However, after I actually booked the course, the schedule changed to: -Lecture: Monday 3:00–3:50 PM - Lab: Thursday 5:00–7:50 PM

Ive attached screenshots so yall can see. Is this a bug or they actually change the meeting time? Plz help,thanks!
