It finally happened: I got hit by a car!

Truly a UCSB right of passage. Tried biking straight down camino pescadero this afternoon (green light and walk sign on) and some stupid asshole trying to turn left pulled out directly in front of me. I stopped (thank god) and flew onto his hood. The impact was so hard my bike chain fell off! All he did a half-assed "u good?" with the window pulled down and when i groaned in pain he just drove off. How the fuck do you hit someone with your car and just move on with your day like nothing happened? IV is such a shithole bro, no one has class.

If anyone saw this happen and perchance got any sight of the guy who hit me or his car, lmk. He was a white guy driving a white sedan (may have been a BMW).

Which of the PHIL 100 classes should I take (and which professors are good)?

I am between 100B and 100D, but I am unsure which would be more interesting. I am interested in policy and consciousness for general reference. Also, I am curious about which professors are favorites in the PHIL department.

Parking on this campus

Just to ask, if I buy an all day pass let’s say on lot 1256 or something, then go and park at a different lot later in the same day, will I be ticketed because I didn’t buy for that particular lot, or does the all day pass apply to any student lot in campus

can i transfer in with 78.5 cc units?

long story short i messed up and did random classes with duel enrollment (my GEs, except for math im doing it in spring, are done) and i didnt know what i wanted to major in until my last year of hs.

This fall i was a freshman at a csu college but had to withdraw for some personal stuff. But will be going back to cc in the spring to complete some lower div of the major im transfering for (environmental studies ba) but by spring ill have a total of 78.5 units will this disqualify me? i know i have to stay under a certain amount to transfer but i keep reading different things that say its 60 or 80 units that i need to stay under (i have 65.5 units from duel enrollment right now)

btw all im taking in spring is stats at the 3 envs lower div 13 units in total

romcom movies group

this is super random but i have a mild (actually pretty big) obsession with romcoms recently in the past years and i haven’t rly found a crowd who thought the same. i’m always watching a romcom of a tragic romance movie and my friends don’t seem to particularly like it as much as i do. i was wondering if anyone would be down to do a watch party or even a film discussion type thing or if something of this sort is available on campus. just a thought!

Any tips for keeping class notes organized?

I’ve been trying to find ways to organize everything without spending hours sifting through random files. Recently, I tried a few tools like Notion, Obsidian, and AI Notebook that let me combine lecture recordings, PDFs, images, and basically all the class stuff in one place. It’s helped me focus more during lectures since I know everything’s saved for later. Still experimenting, though, if anyone has tips or has found other apps that help manage the study chaos, I’d love to hear what’s working for you.

Anyone Taken CS32 with Prof. Nasir? How is He?

I'm planning to take CS32 next quarter, and I noticed that Prof. Nasir is listed as the instructor. I haven’t heard much about him, so I was wondering if anyone here has taken his class before or knows what he's like as a professor.

Is he a good lecturer? How are his exams and assignments? Any tips or things to keep in mind for his class? I'd appreciate any insights you all might have!

Thanks in advance!

Vons replacement

First, I would like to say I am beyond sad that Von’s chicken next to Domino’s is gone. My first year, that was my comfort meal as a kid far from home. Korean fried chicken in general is my favorite type of chicken. So when I found out it had closed down, it broke my heart. Who knew my last bite of Von’s Chicken had already occurred?

That being said, does anyone know of a chicken place that’s similar? Like a Korean Fried Chicken spot that I can go to or doordash? any suggestions will be tried and I will return with reviews.

Study Abroad

Anyone here regret not studying abroad? I’ve been accepted to a program in London but I would have to pay around 10k out of pocket (can take out a loan) but I’m already in debt lol. I got 2 days to think about it and potentially drop. I would appreciate it if anyone gives their opinion.

Help with CS9 Midterm

Hi guys,

People who have done CS9 with Prof. Richert Wang, how was the midterm laid out? I am not asking what questions were on there, but were there questions where you had to write the code by yourself on paper? Or were they more like fill-in the blanks? Professor didn't explain the layout that well in class, so I am asking here. I have the midterm tomorrow, and I have this habit of constant prototyping and fixing errors while codiung rather than having a stellar first draft, so a written midterm is pretty tough. Additionally, was the midterm hard when y'all did it? Anything out of the syllabus?

Thank guys!

poli sci and data

hey guys so i took ps15 a while ago and it was pretty easy for me to get acquainted with R and i took it early enough that i still had a basic understanding of the stuff i did in AP stats and that’s as rigorous as the math stuff got.

i’m now in my last year and i’m applying to internships and so many of them want some type of background in coding/data analysis.

i’m kinda too far gone to add a minor in statistical science right now (2 quarters left and i don’t have a single class that would apply to that).

i just wanna know if they offer any upper div courses for ps that revolve around data? i’ve been looking and it seems like no. or do any other majors have an upper division data class that i would be able to get into with pretty much no pstat or compsci prereqs and then be successful in with like no math and coding background?

Which Classes to pick in pass 1? (Pre-Bio Major)

Hey everyone,

Which classes should I enroll in pass 1?

For pass one I can enroll in up to 15 units. Here are my full list of courses in my cart:

- Chem 6AL (3 units)

- Chem 109B (4 units)

- EEMB 2 (3 units)

- MCDB 1B (4 units)

- MCDB 1LL (1.5 units)

I am at 15.5 units so would need to wait on registering for one of these classes. Anyone have suggestions? I was thinking on holding off of MCDB 1LL but supposedly it fills up fast. Maybe hold off on MCDB 1B? Anything helps thank you.
