    Looking for Two Housemates

    Hello! I am looking for two female-identifying roommates who would like to takeover a lease for a master double from April until the end of June/July/August in our 2 story, 3 bedroom, 1 & 1/2 bathroom house! We live a 7 minute walk away (or 3 minute drive) from the base of campus, and a 2 minute walk from the 19 bus-stops. The room comes furnished with two twin xl mattresses on two bed frames (1 desk and a lamp optional). The rent is 900 dollars a month not including utilities (PG&E and internet only) for each spot in the double and would require a 900 dollar deposit upon move-in. There is laundry in-unit, ample residential permit parking, and access to a heated pool. You would be sharing the house with 2 gals (21 y/os, 3rd & 4th year). We are both quiet, cleanly, respectful and friendly. If you or someone you know would be interested, please message with any questions!

    UCSC Off Campus Meal plan

    Hi guys, so I am most probably going to live off capus next year, I had a question about meal plans and pricing, like how much would they cost if I add lets say the blue plan. Or should I just figure out the kitchen and cook my own, my only concern is that i am not getting much time rn, how am I going to have time to cook food. Also like again does anyone know the pricing, because on ucsc voluntary meal plans it is only showing banana buck and flexis no slug points.

    Where does Kresge put forgotten items? Forgot black headphones

    Left my headphones in Kresge Academy 3201 last Friday. Does anyone know if there's any sort of lost and found situation in Kresge? And if so, where? Also if anyone has seen them, lmk. They are black headphones and they say "Uliptz" on the side. They were like $15 but I loved them and miss having music on my walks lol.

    To all my people majoring in marine bio, what are y'all doing after you graduate?? I feel like there's not a lot of options and im not sure if im really feeling all the jobs offered like I initially was but I feel like I already put alot of time, and money, into getting this degree that its too late to turn around now. Also are y'all taking ochem? Im already a third year I feel like it would be too late if I take It now

    what happened to robotics and control concentration for CE?

    I noticed there used to be 5 concentrations for CE, but today I checked the requirements and the robotics and control concentration is gone. Is it just a mistake or are they officially removing that concentration? thanks

    Art Clubs At UCSC?

    Are there any art clubs here? I used to work at an art studio before I started college, and really miss the atmosphere and creative outlet. Mostly just looking for a space to be around other artists, and couldn't really find anything I had in mind online.

    Thanks!!

    Immigration

    It’s surprising that ucsc doesn’t care about the recent immigration issue. I would’ve expected students do something about it at this point. Any thoughts?

    Anyone take psychopathology (PSYC 170) with Raila? I'm not sure how to study for her midterm.

    Her tests seem pretty intense and she doesn't offer a study guide. I'm using flashcards for end of chapter terms and studying her lecture slides, but I still feel super overwhelmed. Any chance anyone has some insight, or should I just memorize the book?
