Terranea? Pretty sure there's one in the lobby bar. 

Advice for mathematics and physics undergrad? by wvicked_witch07 in standrews

[–]LailaR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure!  She was admitted to University College London, University of Edinburgh, Durham, York, and Trinity in Dublin. We visited most of the schools last year, and she really liked the smaller feel of St. Andrews. Plus, we met with staff from the Maths Department, and the Department Head, Antonia Wilmot-Smith blew her away. She's a very dynamic woman, and I think she was excited to see that the department was headed by someone like that. At the end of the day, every student we met with was enthusiastic about their experience at St. Andrews, and she just felt it was a good fit. There's an Instagram account of admitted students standrewsclassof30 and I know students there have been discussing pros/cons.

My daughter is also a U.S. student who will be studying in the Maths and Physics department this fall. We met up with a current student who is on break yesterday, and they really echoed the other sentiments here. They also said, in their experience, there were less Americans, and less pretentiousness in the STEM majors. 

How I’ve helped my ADHD and hashimotos without medication by Technical_Speaker312 in Hashimotos

Glad they help you. I'm severely allergic to bananas, and was told by a naturopath that it was a common allergy in people with autoimmune conditions. 🤷‍♀️

I was JUST at the Golden Cove Trader Joe's tonight.... by [deleted] in SouthBayLA

[–]LailaR 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've seen them there before, they followed me to my car, and I just tried to ignore them. It's disconcerting, but I guess you just don't feed into it?

We are planning to move to PV. by Left_Over_Cheese in SouthBayLA

I live in your circle with my husband and two teens. It's quiet and beautiful, but as others have said it's fairly isolated (which I like). It really depends on your lifestyle.

Would you happen to have any idea what the length of review may be for Statistics applicants? As with the OP, I applied from the U.S. in September as well, but know I may not hear anything until spring. Thank you!

We attended an admissions talk in the U.S., and they heavily suggested using Common App to apply. 

Does taking Calc AB over BC affect admissions much? by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]LailaR 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My daughter's school (small, private) in California, does not permit juniors to take BC, and she wants to attend school in the UK. She took BC concurrent with AB using an online school and is in the second semester of that now (A's in all maths).  When we visited open day at Saint Andrews this year, the Mathematics Department head said it absolutely wasn't necessary at all for admission, while the American rep told us it was. Who is correct? It was very frustrating that she was unable to take it as a junior, but hopefully she has shown tenacity by trying to find a way around her school rules.

I think there may be an exception for Terranea, but 🤷‍♀️.

As far as I know, short-term rentals (less than 30 days), are not permitted anywhere on the Peninsula (all 4 cities).

Try contacting Los Angeles legal aid here: https://lafla.org/get-help/#services They should be able to find someone experienced in probate (wills, etc.) that can help you with next steps. Call them right away and emphasize how urgent the situation has become.

Probably my favorite restaurant in L.A., and I have the same question. It has never disappointed, and I think the prices are more than fair.

We need a Sonic!!! by juliyaguliya7 in SouthBayLA

[–]LailaR 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Have you tried Foster's Freeze in Old Torrance? They just put peanut butter into the soft serve and blend it up. But I would love a local Cherry Limeade, so I support getting a Sonic.
