Thank you to the international, Tribal and law enforcement researchers who broke this case open after students and alumni reported crimes related to this department.

Students deserve transparency from their mentors and professors about who they are and what community claims them, before paying tuition to a fraud.

My boyfriend just found out he got a full ride to both CSU Monterey Bay and Sonoma State and we’re trying to figure out where we should move to. We’re both in our mid 20s and he wouldn’t be living on campus as he’s bringing his dog and I with him. Both schools have good programs for his major so that isn’t a factor in our decision. Neither of us have much in savings but both schools offered him some extra money after covering tuition and he will be taking out a small subsidized loan, so we will have enough to get by until we find jobs. Im planning on going to a nearby community college and working as a server or bartender while working on my own degree. I’m not a California native and have never been to either location. The deadline for Monterey is May 15th so we need to make this decision very soon, but we have no idea which one we should choose. Which area do people generally like better? As a mid 20’s woman, which area would I have an easier time making friends in? With all the factors given, where do you think we should move?

My 05' Ford Focus registration will expire at the end of April this year but will require $1k to fix up to pass the emissions and get renewed. I dont have the money to pay for it right now but I need to drive to South Lake Tahoe from Portland,OR for work in July and Ive read random things online about expired registration cars being towed immediately. If it's just a fine I'll have to pay if I get pulled over then I'll risk it but I'd try and arrange another ride if they'll tow me without any warning. It'll only be expired for a few months when I go so I'm hoping it wont be a big deal. Any info or help on what to expect if I get stopped is much appreciated! The car has Oregon plates by the way. Not sure if that matters.

Hay there I figured I would ask her, I have a family member that is driving to Northern California from Oregon and I am curious if anyone here has or knows anyone that has a Pomeranian for sale that my family member could pick up on there drive back?

Does anyone wish they were European mainly for 2 reasons?

1. Can live and work in any EU country (not all of Europe is in the EU, but most of it is)
2. Can travel easily and cheaply throughout Europe

My husband and I are leaving today for a last minute babymoon trip to SF & Yosemite. I have 1 day of the trip (tomorrow actually 😂) where we have a reservation for Muir Woods in the morning, and a tour of Alcatraz in the evening, but nothing specific planned for the middle of the day! I don’t want to spend this day in SF itself, but stay north until we have to head back to SF for the Alcatraz tour (tour is at 7, so prob will need to be heading back around 4 or 5 at the latest). We should be done at Muir Woods around 11.

So from 11ish to 5ish what should we do!? My mom is from NorCal, Mill Valley specifically, and told me to just bop around the cute towns over there. Any other specific recommendations? Is there time to go to maybe 1 winery in Napa? Is there one in particular liar that stands out? (The castle one looks dumb IMO, I’ve been to many actual castles in Europe. Not really interested in a replica, and care much more about the wine making process and the vineyards.) Do we need reservations? What about the coast? Is there a specific spot on the coast that would be nice to see?

EDIT - I’ve narrow it down to either doing Point Reyes OR Napa Valley. Not enough time for both so please just weigh in on which one we should do!

EDIT - This post was about yesterday’s plan, lol, so I just thought I’d fill you in on what we did! Thanks again for everyone’s input. We ended up doing Muir Woods as planned, then Point Reyes, and back to the city for Alcatraz. The weather was AMAZING so that was the deciding factor. No clouds in sight once we hit Point Reyes Station. It was great! The woods were awesome, the drive was beautiful, we saw tons of sea lions out in the wild (way cooler than seeing them at pier 39), and some amazing views and short hikes. The lighthouse stairs are closed on Fridays though, no body mentioned that. Either way we had a great day and glad we opted for this over Napa / Sonoma because neither of us would have been drinking.

The promotora model was first developed in the northern Mexican city of Ciudad Juarez in the early 1970s as a way for the city government to deliver health care and related information to marginalized communities. The model soon spread across Latin America, later making its way into the U.S.

And I've always dreamed about living in Northern California. I'd like to move there one day.

Any advice or information you can give would be so helpful 🙂

Could anyone recommend some good spots for viewing the wildflowers this season? I'm near Stanford, but willing to drive 2 maybe 3 hours. I love wildflower season!

From DC, first time in NorCal. I can’t get my jaw off the ground!

I 23F live in a small town and in dire need of a change of scenery and just a change in general. I’ve been looking but would like to hear from others if they know of any places In NorCal that are hiring for the summer? I’m looking for jobs at a resort or national parks… and preferably past Sacramento? Anyone know of any places hiring for the summer and has in-housing available?? Thank you

I have a cousin in his late 20's that grew up in Siskiyou county and has lived there for all (with an exception with a few short years) of his life

He has been working at some manufacturing company for over a year now in Redding and drives there every work day from Yreka

From what he says,while it can be a bit annoying to drive over an hour to work,it is always worth it as it's a good job for him.

He also says he's met many people that have even longer commutes that work in Redding and other cities in Shasta county

Is that actually rather common?

Hello,

Family is asking for me to pay a visit during Easter this year. I was thinking about driving out to Inyo this weekend.

I have a simple Honda Civic 2017. If there is an expectation for snow this weekend, should I reconsider my visit? I don't have much experience with snow other than small towns that pave their streets when snow falls.

Highways I will be taking are CA 88 and CA 395, among others.
