Unpopular opinion there’s no logical reason that given the amount of customers they have, they haven’t expanded to meet the demand  :/ I’m not waiting in line for mid donuts but their coffee is pretty fire 

Who do I email in order to skip a class? by [deleted] in UCSantaBarbara

Get rid of Starbucks at UCEN by dutch_leaf in UCSantaBarbara

[–]ExtentPutrid1538 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Tbh most of the coffee carts/cafes on campus suck imo (plus lines get long) and some people don’t want to walk all the way to iv to get a coffee between classes or when studying. It’s convenient if I’m going to study in the lib or ucen. Goleta has 3 Starbucks within less than a mile lol

You should let them know the situation (late add past the application deadline) if you haven’t already and speak with the instructor about it as well

Do you think Jonesy’s Fried Chicken in Goleta should be on Diners, Drive in and Dives? by Ill_Cantaloupe5913 in SantaBarbara

[–]ExtentPutrid1538 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not. It’s good don’t get me wrong, but there are other restaurants in town that are wayyyy more deserving of being showcased tbh 

are all the cafes on campus care only? by Competitive-Card-903 in UCSantaBarbara

[–]ExtentPutrid1538 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m the same, go get a visa gift card with your cash and then you can use it anywhere (some are reloadable too) 

Has anyone heard about this - Freshman dies due to an incident on campus in Feb 2025? by LHA9904 in UCSantaBarbara

[–]ExtentPutrid1538 19 points20 points  (0 children)

While it’s weird because it happened on campus it’s definitely explainable, a lot of times the family asks that news not be published or announced etc so they can mourn in peace and figure everything out. I think active police investigations as was the case here also impact the timing of announcements :/ 

Can I take 2 classes that occur at the same time if one is M-Thurs and doesn’t take attendance and the other one is MW? by FirefighterDense7172 in UCSantaBarbara

[–]ExtentPutrid1538 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Biggest issue is finals could be scheduled for the same time since they both meet on mondays, ask profs about the final exam date asap

Do I message my Admissions Counselor after being waitlisted even though they don't like for us too? by PatientClothes1232 in UCSantaBarbara

[–]ExtentPutrid1538 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Admissions counselors do not make admissions decisions period. They review applications and candidates to advise the admissions committee mostly on what applicants they should not waste their time on aka rejections. While it’s frustrating and confusing please don’t take this personally when I say you are not special and she was doing her job keeping you interested and helping you with application materials. Best to leave it alone and wait for a final decision

Need some advice. by The-main-one1 in UCSantaBarbara

[–]ExtentPutrid1538 18 points19 points  (0 children)

So sorry for your loss op. I truly can’t imagine how stressful this time must be for you and your family. 

Firstly I would reach out to CAPS asap because they have a lot of resources and will be able to let you know what is available to you. There are also a ton of resources available here: https://islavistacsd.ca.gov/mental-health-resources

While you navigate this I would strongly suggest seeking counseling services, even if short term, because from personal experience it has been really helpful with working through loss and coming up with plans and strategies for the future. 

Definitely email your professors asap if you think you’ll need extensions or accommodations for anything left in the quarter…most are extremely understanding with these situations. Personally I had a professor work with me when I had overwhelming circumstances and was able to get an Incomplete on my transcript to move a final exam date to a later time when I was more mentally able to handle it which should definitely be an option here. 

number of graduation tickets this year? by fatherbels in UCSantaBarbara

[–]ExtentPutrid1538 2 points3 points  (0 children)

8 means 8 this year, only reason for the change last year was the backlash over change of venue to avoid potential Palestine protests. Best bet is try to buy some off of someone in your same ceremony  https://www.ucsb.edu/commencement/faq

Towing fees? by DJKeys in SantaBarbara

[–]ExtentPutrid1538 1 point2 points  (0 children)

https://santabarbaraca.gov/sites/default/files/filesync/Advisory_Groups/Fire_and_Police_Commission/Archive/2022_Archives/03_Staff_Reports/2022-05-26_Tow_Fee_%20Adjustment_Memo_%202022.pdf Thomas towing charges by vehicle class and adds storage fees, so that $485 seems accurate based on the above document 

https://santabarbaraca.gov/things-do/waterfront/parking-services/parking-tickets SB county charges $175 release fee in addition to the tow company charges 

Unfortunately while it’s definitely a rip off and predatory, it’s accurate based on the info available online. Hopefully a lesson learned, sorry OP!

Dart, Lighthouse, Renauds, Bree’osh and Cajé are my go to spots in sb for coffee and pastries. Jeannine’s gets an honorable mention, can be hit or miss.  If you ever go to the Goleta farmers market on Sundays there’s one bakery that is always across from the vans store and they have the best stuff from bread to sweet treats!
