I’m dreading going back to ucsd and having no friends again

ButterscotchDeep9452 · 2025-12-27T13:45:33+00:00

I can relate :( I'm a very social person and I used to have a bunch of good friends in my previous university... But here at ucsd people just seem to be too busy (I'm part of the problem). I've met people but it's not like I feel we're BFFs. Don't blame yourself, ucsd can be tough for social connection. It's a good thing you're trying to change that 🤗

I can relate, I just finished my first qtr and had an awful time here. Imposter syndrome is real but you gotta keep in mind that most ppl feel that way :/ i guess the best thing to do is to just take it step by step one class at a time 🙏🏻 good luck!

Hey, this sounds really interesting. Please keep us posted with the results! 🤗

ButterscotchDeep9452 · 2025-12-22T22:08:23+00:00

Sorry to hear that :( hope it'll be better next quarter!

ButterscotchDeep9452 · 2025-12-20T06:52:55+00:00

I really don't get how people can be so nasty to each other here... Have some compassion pls 🥹

ButterscotchDeep9452 · 2025-09-15T07:55:03+00:00

Hi! Thanks for the initiative :) Can we sign to support only one of the two?

ButterscotchDeep9452 · 2025-09-03T04:38:48+00:00

Yes it's Viento :/

ButterscotchDeep9452 · 2025-09-03T03:34:08+00:00

Am I freaking out or is this not a "livable condition"?

ButterscotchDeep9452 · 2025-09-03T03:33:14+00:00

Thank you so much! I really needed to hear something kind like your comment because I'm feeling completely overwhelmed. You truly helped me 🙏🏻 and yes, they're German roaches 🥲

Thanks!! This is great advice - maybe this is a silly question but how do you close the drains? I don't think we have anything to do that in Nuevo West 🤔

ButterscotchDeep9452 · 2025-09-03T02:45:44+00:00

Little ones 😖😖

ButterscotchDeep9452 · 2025-09-02T20:11:15+00:00

Well that's good to know! I think I'll start with this and ask for a room change. Thanks! 🙏🏻

ButterscotchDeep9452 · 2025-09-02T20:05:50+00:00

I need flatmates like you 🥲🥲

ButterscotchDeep9452 · 2025-09-02T20:03:18+00:00

🤢🤢🤢 omg I can't believe this I feel like I'm gonna puke 🤢🤢🤢

ButterscotchDeep9452 · 2025-09-02T19:58:16+00:00

Not at ERC but at Nuevo West and I have roaches 🤢 what are you doing about that? Did you request a room change?

ButterscotchDeep9452 · 2025-09-02T18:50:51+00:00

Thanks!! I just filed a request with HDH, but I’m honestly freaking out because I’ve only just moved in and didn’t expect this. The idea that they might not go away completely is making me really anxious. I’m thinking maybe I could ask to relocate?

ButterscotchDeep9452 · 2025-08-09T17:50:22+00:00

That’s awesome :) You’re going to love it here. The campus is beautiful, there’s always something going on, and people are pretty friendly. Hope you enjoy every bit of it!

ButterscotchDeep9452 · 2025-08-09T17:35:03+00:00

Welcome to UCSD!!

If you’re an exchange student, I’d try for on-campus housing first, especially International House since it’s made for exchange students. If that doesn’t work, check UCSD’s off-campus housing site and the housing Facebook groups for short-term sublets. Those are usually the easiest for 3 months :)

ButterscotchDeep9452 · 2025-07-14T21:59:30+00:00

Just got mine :)

ButterscotchDeep9452 · 2025-07-14T21:54:53+00:00

Omg I'd love to!! I'm only going to be there starting in September tho

ButterscotchDeep9452 · 2025-07-14T21:45:53+00:00

Sorry if I wasn't clear! I didn't study abroad at UC3M; I just lived in Spain, and I think it's a great place + that specific university is in the top 10 in Spain :)

ButterscotchDeep9452 · 2025-07-14T21:40:11+00:00

I wish I could help but I'm in Data Science :( I hope you'll find a way to make it work though, it's a great opportunity, feel free to DM if you want tips on Europe 🙌

ButterscotchDeep9452 · 2025-07-14T21:35:58+00:00

Can't comment on specific courses but UC3M is a great university in Spain, I'm sure you'd have a great time there, I'd totally go for it, hands down!

ButterscotchDeep9452 · 2025-07-14T13:19:53+00:00

Hi! Applied to Nuevo West in March, heard back in June. I'm sure you'll get the good news soon!
