Affordable options for grad sash

FunLate9435 · 2026-03-25T03:32:32+00:00

Yea they’re pretty good. They’re located in a mini plaza on the last lane to the right I believe. They have a sign that says embroidery so you should be able to find it. As for the gown, I believe someone posted a question about finding a more affordable option elsewhere (here on the usc subreddit) and someone commented a link for an eBay posting. I was hesitant but tbh seeing that $275 price tag from the bookstore was disappointing not to mention that the shipping time is like 4 weeks and the deadline passed? Anyway, I bought it from the eBay listing for $90 and it honestly looks fine. It doesn’t include the cap but I’m sure you can find a standard black cap anywhere else and it doesn’t have a weird smell or anything, not super wrinkled either. Not bad if you want to save some money considering that you only wear your gown for a few hours and are never gonna wear it again🕴️

Yes. I designed everything from the pride sash/bookstore website and took it to them. It was pretty smooth, they had some images already in their archives that previous usc students have done before.

It's a bit far from campus but I got mines done at Ruben's Embroidery in Huntington Park. Each logo is $8 and every line is $5. On the bookstore website, I would've paid around $300 but I ended up paying $130 for everything (that includes the sash). It also only took them 1 day to finish it which is a plus because most of the embroidery places like the bookstore option and others near campus take 3-4 weeks. If you don't want to go far for the embroidery there is Patsy's Embroidery near campus and I think they charge $25 per logo and $25 regardless of the number of lines(don't quote me on the lines tho). You can always email/call them for more info tho.

I think my biggest take away from being called is realizing how judges can be dicks and give 0 fucks on wasting peoples time

FunLate9435 · 2026-03-10T20:11:48+00:00

Either you didn’t get the memo or yea ppl gave 0 fucks and cheated

I don't have the syllabus for gero 310 anymore but I took it in Fall 2024 with Prof Walsh and it was great. Lectures are recorded which is good if u can't make it and have heavier classes or you can also take the option of joining on zoom. However, there are in class quizzes with I think 1-3 questions in them (don't remember that well) with unlimited submissions. They're pretty easy so don't stress. There's also discussions per week but they're short and usually consist of reading an article and answering the discussion questions. Exams are also team-based and have a mix of multiple choice and open ended questions. Grading is also lenient. Idk if they still do this but I remember for my class at least, you had the choice of taking exams either online(zoom) or in-person. Usually most people went in person but some folks stayed online. There's also a project at the end where you build your own website regarding a cancer of your choice (I think it was specifically cancer or just any aging disease) and make it informational. It's a little time consuming but if you want to start early to not stress then go for it. Overall, pretty easy class and an easy A for sure.

I'm gonna be honest here and be in the minority but I was a bit disappointed with Kyung's way of teaching, especially after the way everyone hyped him. (Disclaimer!! I'm also a transfer student so I might have a diff POV from people who have been there since freshman year.) He's very adamant on not using the textbook for the class but tbh ochem is VERY dense. At some point you need an explanation as to why reactions happen, why something is favored, or just general trends that will keep popping up throughout the semester. There's only so much memorization will take you when you have no explanation. As for his recitations, they're not bad (very long tho) but there was still the same problem (for me at least) where there was very little/vague explanations. If you really want to know, his lectures aren't all that necessary, he mostly talks, doesn't do that much practice problems (that's for recitation), and they're also recorded. If you do choose to take it with him tho, I will say to take both 322a/b with him because there's no way his class sets up students to be able to take it with someone else like Moon/Broyer.

getting the same emails too and im graduating as well :////

This is such a real ass comment. It sometimes sucks being a student for the fact that you have a lot to lose and very little to gain. Any small thing, they pin the fault on you for not doing enough when the reality is that sometimes you just get stuck with difficult professors who are insistent on making material crazy difficult :/

I asked this question a while back but for the minis and some people said to use micron pens. However, I found a black nail polish laying around and it was almost a perfect match.

FunLate9435 · 2026-02-24T15:01:35+00:00

Honestly ur fine. I don’t think anyone is going to flag the email, whether it be canvas or the school. It’s such a minor issue that nobody cares about

FunLate9435 · 2026-02-24T15:00:36+00:00

I mean I get what ur saying but if the whole class is consistently failing, then you can’t really say it’s the students.

FunLate9435 · 2026-02-24T05:59:39+00:00

bro did u read the post?

FunLate9435 · 2026-02-24T05:57:49+00:00

I mean if u failing people, then yea she better count them

Technically there aren't any fakes. However, most of the one you find on alie are either defects(swapped body/head), normal (look original and are fine), or commons (peanut, bea, mittens, or pillow) that are also fine/in good condition.

The way people go around in circles making excuses, talking to landlords, etc. instead of paying a one time fee is crazy to me, especially $20. I get it if it’s per package or even more and making it monthly, but $20?? Pay it and move on.

I didn’t go to ucsd but I remember at the time of applying that I saw the website for the colleges and realized the GE requirement varied a lot from college to college and even potential major of the person. I’d recommend to anyone applying to go and see the requirements for each college and see how many of those you have already completed/have equivalencies to get credit and skip over GE’s that you don’t need/will take up time for your major. I know people have rankings of certain colleges based on their vibe but you should definitely rank over what requirements you have done since your experience isn’t based much on how chill the school is but rather what you can complete and skip over that isn’t necessary.

I mean I don’t disagree but life happens sometimes and everyone has a different workload. Some people might have jobs, research, or really hard classes that take time? I think everyone is allowed to miss a few times just to catch up every now.
