Study Abroad Foreign Language Requirements

Hellooo, I'm planning to go abroad for Fall 2025 and will have basically my entire degree completed except for GE VI Language other than English. Does anyone know if I'm able to take a GE VI compatible class while I'm abroad/what programs allow for this?

Why do we not have class discords

Idk but I am new freshmen and classes would be so much easier if we had class discords like I transferred from another uni and like assignments would be so easy cause you’d have one or the others answers but here everyone is just soloing it.

repeal parking costs all across uci

i just had a thought- why has parking permits for acc communities per quarter skyrocketed to 360 dollars??? i understand its to ensure that only UCI students/residents are parking their car there and to lessen carbon dioxide emissions and shit but like damn does uci transportation really need that much profit all they do is ruin ppls days besides those fun go cart races they have at the flagpoles every now and then. like why cant it be 50 dollars a quarter... why is parking expensive everywhere... i want to do something about it

uci webring (for ics ppls)

hi everyone, if anyone is interested in adding a webring to your personal website, i made one that can be found here. i might make an index website later or anyone wants to help me w that pm me!

if you're unaware about what a webring is, it's basically just where websites link to each other to find related content (in this case other ics students portfolios) as an alternative to search engines. you can learn more about them here

anyways i just thought it was a fun idea

sleeping in the meditation space?

hi guys… i use the meditation space sometimes just to chill and stretch, especially with midterms causing so much stress. There is a homeless person sleeping in the meditation space. I’m sure they mean no harm and i feel bad but idk it seems slightly unsafe….

MS specialization programs in AI/ML/DS

I am looking for MS in Computer Science (Fall 2025) with a focus on AI & ML/Data Science. Want to know if USI provides any specialized tracks for them or any separate courses/programs? Or are they just available as electives in main CS program?

Also will the final degree show any specialization?

Would I be Okay if I skip Math 3D, take 2E, and then take math 3D the following quarter?

Has anyone taken both and could give me their opinion/experience on it? I’m debating on taking both, take math 3D or letting myself have an easy quarter and skip math 3D and go to 2E first. Currently second year BME major, gonna take BME60B and BME 50A at the same time next quarter.

Places to read on campus?

I recently checked out like 3 books abt public transit from langson and was wondering if anyone has recommendations of places to read on campus!

Preferably indoors and with a decent view, but not opposed to being outside. I tried reading on those little couch things on the 2nd floor of langson and didn’t like it bc there were like no windows around.

Thanks!

You should try this if you want a side hustle

Just writing this to help out anyone who needs some extra money. For the past 2 months I've been using this AI tool called Insta Doodle (Link here) to make a decent amount of money on the side. It's a platform that allows you to generate whiteboard explanation videos. They're the type of videos you see on a lot of sales pages that explain the concept of whatever's being sold.

I've been creating and selling the videos to new ecommerce stores, Skool communities and on marketplaces like Fiverr, Freelancer, Upwork and believe it or not Etsy lol (I've also seen a few people selling them on eBay so I might try that in future). I sell basic videos for $20-$40 depending on length and upsell the voiceover which I use ElevenLabs to generate for an extra $20. Considering Insta Doodle is only $37 for lifetime access it's pretty easy to turn a profit, all you need is one sale basically and you've broken even.

On the marketplaces mentioned I just made listings and they're slowly getting more sales as they get reviews. I think success on Fiverr, Upwork and Etsy is more of a time thing, you write a decent pitch and then just wait for results. I also respond to any requests I see on Fiverr, Upwork and Freelancer where they're looking for whiteboard animation, product explanation videos or a product spokesperson (a whiteboard video is kind of a spokesperson lol).

As for selling to ecommerce stores and Skool communities I first tried cold emailing using mailing lists that I bought but I didn't have much success. I found the most success just dming accounts on Instagram and TikTok with a sales pitch, pricing and a couple example videos (The newer the business the easier they are to sell I've found). The conversion rate on these messages is actually pretty crazy, I haven't calculated the number but this is where I've made the most money.

Delete this post if it's not allowed but I thought it'd be helpful for anyone needing some extra money, we've all got bills haha.

Update on the Math1B withdrawal

let’s be real, if I wasn’t gonna pass 1B I would’ve died in math2a/b, let’s hope I get approved 🤧 I basically said that 16 units was too much of a course load and I mentally struggled with the course load”

Also, thank you for everyone that gave me tips on what to say and do! I appreciate the help, especially those who said to take it at a CC.
