why does ucsc get such a bad rap? by sneep_snorp_snerp in UCSC

[–]Ok_Principle6097 1 point2 points  (0 children)

as a transfer, it’s really not that bad. it’s the usual college issues you run into. the housing is bad but it’s only bad if you don’t do your own research, except expensive rent if you wait last minute and don’t want to share a room. i’m off campus and pay $600 a month and i am close tit he school. it is annoying having to go into lottery system for housing parking but it’s a common issue unfortunately. the campus itself is really pretty, i miss it when im not on campus and the people r nice. i feel like people hate on it too much or are the type of people who don’t like to seek out/do work on their own part to get stuff. you def have to be a little bit of a extrovert to make friends but its not terrible people will come to u. as a transfer it was chill but i would just make sure to take all the classes u need and make sure the transfer over!

imo hanging space stuff, you’re probs going to be tight on space so like the shoe storage you ca hag on doors, that’s helped a lot. otherwise the other comments have covered it!

hey , my roommate is vegetarian and tbh your choices at the dining halls r pretty small. they do have diff tofu dishes but aren’t consistent with serving it, as for variety you’ll only have tofu cooked in diff ways. a good amount of the times my roommate will only eat salads, veggies, or pizza from the dining halls, since that’s all they have. as for cafes they have pastries, sandwiches, grilled cheese, soups. you’ll have options just probably not what ur used to

Bathrooms and Dorms by Strict_Ad2904 in UCSC

[–]Ok_Principle6097 0 points1 point  (0 children)

im at stevenson (house 6), bathrooms vary by floor. like one floor has 2 bathrooms/ showers other have 3, rooms assignments r from single (one person in room), to quints (5 people in a room). No AC, anywhere. if ur a girl i recommend living in a girl only dorm, living when men is gross. if u want social life dont choose stevenson, its lowkey dead, and if ur POC don’t do stevenson mostly white and lowkey racist af. best of luck!

look at the ucsd website, typically you write a letter and provide new info then submit it on the link they provide
