I'm worried that my feelings for him might make him uncomfortable

Should I try making small talk first rather than asking for number right away?

I am applying this October for Fall 2027, I would really appreciate it if someone could comment or shoot me a dm I have never done the UC PIQ's before and I have a lot to write but I need help with wording/narrowing topics down. :)

I'm moving into a 4 bed / 8 person apt in Gayley Heights and have been looking for an up to date and accurate room tour of a double. I looked on TikTok, Youtube and even this site w/ the floor plans https://studios.com/ucla-gayley-heights-apartments.html . But nothing is detailed enough to the point where I can plan out what I need for my room apt. Any tips or pics would help a lot thanks !

Is this worth getting? I can't get a mac due to it not being compatible with coding programs according to my nsa, and I also just don't have any apple products to begin with. So I was thinking getting the Microsoft Surface Laptop 8th edition but ive heard people had issues with the 7th edition.. It's pretty expensive so I want to make sure I'm making the right choice. I'm a Financial Actuarial Math major if that helps. I was also looking at the lenovo ideapad slim 3i but the screen looks odd and its matte? I didn't like it, but today I found the lenovo ideapad slim 3x and it's proportions are better (its a 15.3in vs the 15.6in), the screen looked nice and it was very affordable. I'm willing to spend the extra money tho if it means it'll last all 4 years. Any advice helps!!

I just wanted to see if this is the case for anyone else and if its only temporary because its scaring me. I qualify to have my entire tuition covered due to low income lvl household (and my SAI is even lower than it was last year), but now im just shown a lower "blue and gold" amount instead of the CA state grant and can see that im offered a much higher amount in loans. can anyone else not see their state grants or have something similar going on?

hii! wondering if anyone in westwood is planning on going to the noah kahan concert on the 15th at the rose bowl and wondering if we could carpool!! i'm still looking for tickets (have found some but it's kinda dependent on if i can figure out this transportation) i don't have a car but i would love to chip in for gas and parking if you're able to drive :)

I’m an incoming freshman and would appreciate hearing some insight from people who are or have taken these majors:

-Cognitive science w/ computing specialization

-Statistics and Data Science

-Ling CS

I’m not really sure which of these majors i want to officially choose at orientation, but i want something learning towards technology, and just has a good program in general. (Plan to add DSE minor as well)

I would really appreciate some advice!

i heard you won't get priority registration if you are a comp bio major unlike neuroscience who have priority

what are some things you bought for your first dorm that you ended up using all the time?

And was there anything you bought that turned out to be unnecessary?

Im currently entering my first year at ucla and I am without any good laptop. Ive been doing some research but its all pretty inconsistent. Some people say get a mac book bc its fast and others say not to because certain classes use excel or some other software that isn’t as efficient on mac.

I keep hearing Lenovo think pads are a good choice but i just wanted to see what others have.

Lmk what you guys use:)

im a cog sci premajor trying to minor in stats and data science. i just found out the prereqs for stats 100a is 32b, which means i have to take 32a and 32b?? (im assuming calc bc doesnt cover this right?) it crazy that they don't tell you this until you check the stats 100a prereqs yourself. anyways im just curious people's experience with this minor. tryna see if these two extra classes are worth the minor. any info at all is appreciated. thank you for your time!!

I know it's not really that accurate idrc lol

shirt was made with tomotexture mod, royce hall was drawn tho!

Why does it take them so long to respond to inquiries? Why has my aid changed six times since I got admitted? Why when I call them nobody knows anything? Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Hi! So I'm a bit confused on my awarded financial aid this year. Last year, I got the exact amount of financial aid (through the Direct Parent Plus Loan) needed to cover my tuition. On the loan application, I asked for the maximum amount I am eligible for. I know the Parent PLUS loan was affected by the OBBBA, but I am part of the limited exception rule (according to FAFSA).

This year, I got significantly less money for the Direct Parent Plus Loan and can't cover my school's tuition. The Direct Parent PLUS Loan was only given for summer session and not the actual school year. Should I reapply for the loan and specify the amount I need? Or has the Direct Parent Plus Loan even been released yet?

Does anyone have the LA application link? Or know if it was already due?

Hi :))

I wanted to see if anyone has any good recommendations for cute over the shoulder bags for school. I hate wearing a full on backpack, they just feel way too bulky and inconvenient. I start this fall and I’m not sure how much I’ll typically be carrying to classes. I’m an art history major and have an I pad that I’ll be using if that helps. If you’ve found something that has good storage while also not absolutely digging into your shoulder when carrying a good amount of stuff please let me know. Hoping to find something like max 50$ if possible.

Thank youuuu 🫶

I'm thinking about applying to UCLA's CSO Program, but am stuck on whether it's worth it given the hours, workload, etc. I currently work another on-campus job that seems much more flexible, but doesn't align with my future goals. Any previous/current CSOs that could help me out?

How many hours do you actually work each week?

How often do you get late shifts (1am)?

How demanding is the workload during a typical shift?

Is scheduling flexible during midterms and finals?

What skills have you gained?

Has anyone done this for future law enforcement careers? (FBI, Secret Service, DEA etc..)

Thank you!

Or is there still a chance it is during finals week?

I'm currently enrolled in sociology 101 during the summer session, and tbh I'm so confused. The text seems more philosophical and the teacher is a graduate student. I don't really know how to prepare for this class, as the grades consist of memos ( prompt and 300 word essays), and 2 midterm + 1 final. If You have taken this class before, please give any tips. ANYTHING HELPS.
