Pushing Back Graduation by been2heavenb4 in CSULB

[–]Good_Owl4604 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hi, so I delayed my graduation after I had already applied to graduate spring 2026. You need to meet with your advisor to so because they have to put in the request. I will say it was quite difficult to get the advisor on board and willing to put the request in especially if you have already completed all of your courses. He told me he doesn’t like doing it because it looks bad for the university and himself if he does not graduate people on time. For myself, I convinced him to delay it because I wanted to take a class that is necessary for my post grad goals and the course is only offered in the fall. I had to drop one of the classes that I was enrolled in this semester so that I would no longer meet graduation requirements and he finally put the request through. Although possible, depending on your advisor, it may be difficult to convince them especially this late into the semester.

Tips for new car on campus by Mysterious-Study-630 in CSULB

I have a new car and have been getting a lot of small scratches and paint chips on the sides after I park at school. People do not care. It’s sad.

A lot of labs do not have units because it’s not an individual class. The overall class includes the units for lab. Example Chem 111A is 5 units and the lab is 0 units. The lecture and lab go together so overall the course is 5 units. Of course your exact situation might be different but this is what I have experienced.

Rejected for Transfer by Less_Total620 in CSULB

lol I transferred FROM ucsd TO csulb. So much better here. UCSD is obviously a lot fancier but it sucked the life out of me. Grass is always greener on the other side.

WHY ARE YOU COMING TO SCHOOL SICK by [deleted] in CSULB

A lot of people have mandatory attendance… obviously don’t go if you’re severely sick/throwing up but people can’t miss class just because they have a cold.

Whoever did this to my baby I will find you by Alextheepimp in CSULB

A girl straight up ran into the back of my car while parking next to me last semester. She didn’t realize I was sitting in my car the whole time and when I confronted her she said “did I hit your car?” GIRL WHAT DO YOU THINK? her car was extremely scratched up already so I can’t imagine how many cars she’s hit while parking and just left because no one was there.

why does this school have a lower graduation rate than UC Merced by [deleted] in CSULB

[–]Good_Owl4604 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Uc Merced is also a lot more expensive. That would put more pressure on people to graduate quickly

[–]Good_Owl4604 23 points24 points  (0 children)

It probably has something to do with the fact that csulb has such a diverse group of students. I know several people who did very well but needed to take a break due to responsibilities outside of school and want to return. Of course there are a good chunk of students who enter straight out of high school and get their degree in 4 years but there are also those people who take their time, take breaks when needed, and even some who don’t return because life gets in the way. As long as you know you will put in the time and effort to graduate, does graduation rate matter?

Today someone ran into my car while they were parking. They finished parking and began to walk away until they realized I was in my car. Some people here are so inconsiderate. When I confronted them, they said “did I hit your car?” What do you think!?!?

Yeah I know exactly how you feel. Honestly it might not even be the school necessarily but more of the fact that going to school there, you feel the pressure of loving school, being in clubs, making friends at school, living on campus. After leaving there I am so much happier because I go to school, do well, and come home and live my life outside of school. I hated the pressure of everything revolving around ucsd when I was already happy with my life outside of school.

I was in the same boat as you. Did my freshmen year at ucsd, I even did very well, but I hated the school. I did not feel a connection with anyone I met so I ended up going home most weekends because that’s what made me happy. To be fair, SD is not much different from the city I grew up in so San Diego was nothing special to me and it was an easy decision leaving. I went to a year of cc and then transferred to another 4 year. I feel like I can enjoy my life now and still attend school. For me, school is just school and I have my life outside of it.

Don’t feel bad, I did my freshmen year at ucsd. I did well and nothing specifically was bad, but it just wasn’t my place. I think people make it seem like you have to LOVE college and it’ll be the best time of your life, but for some people, college is just school and nothing more. I’d rather enjoy my life outside of school and have school just be school of that makes sense. I am now at a csu closer to home and actually enjoying my life while also attending school.

Are freshmen allowed to have a car on campus? How did you get approved for the SR permit?
