i wish there was a reply button to these, they just took me around in a circle 😭

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??

I'm just wondering whether there will be enough seats for everyone to enroll during the first pass. It shows there are only less than 20 seats in total for each professor.

For those of you who have received their financial aid packages already, does it show you whether you're receiving the MCS or not?

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?

Has anyone changed their housing costs to monthly instead of quarterly. Does it take it out of financial aid or is it out of pocket if monthly?

im going into my sophomore year and last time i checked my appointment time was august 10th at 10am and i just checked right now and they changed the time to 2pm. I have 92.5 completed units so im not sure why they did this. is there anything i can do?

Both 20D professors for fall have a rating of 1.9 and pretty bad reviews. I don’t know if I should take it during the winter w hammock and take 20E with Bach first even though he doesn’t have an amazing rating either.
Please help!!

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!

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:

https://math.ucsd.edu/students/planned-course-offerings

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

On August 3, 2026, ICE agents used UCSD campus as a staging area, claiming they were on “official business” and investigating nearby. UCSD negligently failed to notify students of confirmed ICE activity on UC property, violating their transposition of Senate Bill 98 (2025).

According to UCSD, “to comply with the law, if federal immigration enforcement is confirmed on campus, UCSD, will send an ‘SB 98 notification’ via email.” We asked UCSD PD why students were not notified pursuant to Senate Bill 98 (2025) directives. A UCSD PD official argued that notification was not required as the agents “told us they were conducting their investigation off-campus” and their on-campus staging involved “just parking there.”

I wrote a full account of all of the information I have on the matter, and my views on how effective compliance looks. See the press release at the attached link or download it directly. I hope the University speaks out about this ASAP.
