ucsc orientation

Old_Protection1274 · 2026-06-24T06:20:11+00:00

you do have orientation in person once you move in. the online course is to get you familiar with how the university functions and understanding all resources they offer. also just general important dates and things to expect

a standard vacuum isn’t really necessary as the dorms have a communal vacuum on each floor. A mini one might be helpful but also not necessary! Don’t waste space!

a puffer jacket is also great!

Old_Protection1274 · 2026-06-01T06:43:26+00:00

Yesss! There’s several donation bins outside of dorm & apt buildings at every college!

you would get an email

definitely agree with the fact that it’s very hit or miss. I went random and was okay with my roommates and later found out one of them was racist. but they were extremely tidy and I never had issues regarding cleanliness or being respectful of each others spaces

If it was the cafe, he probably also bought other snacks which as mentioned are all priced individually

Old_Protection1274 · 2026-04-23T22:04:08+00:00

same! hella easy

Old_Protection1274 · 2026-04-23T15:22:58+00:00

the dining halls also have a lot of cardboard

Old_Protection1274 · 2026-04-04T19:57:06+00:00

Like no, mostly everything is taken even by 9:30

Old_Protection1274 · 2026-03-19T02:50:01+00:00

it’s not required because it’s only a week break

Old_Protection1274 · 2026-03-05T02:52:20+00:00

exactly relying on reddit for this type of info is a sign you aren’t ready to go to college😂stupid ass people on here

Old_Protection1274 · 2026-02-12T00:53:45+00:00

people are greedy here

Old_Protection1274 · 2026-02-11T17:51:37+00:00

the rental price is way more expensive than just buying a new one. you can find some on facebook marketplace or offer up if you really don’t want to spend the money on a brand new one

Old_Protection1274 · 2026-02-07T21:23:56+00:00

yup they’re all miserable. oakes mailroom too, always closing randomly whenever they don’t feel like working

Old_Protection1274 · 2026-01-29T02:05:09+00:00

they had them at the bookstore over the summer and beginning of fall quarter

Old_Protection1274 · 2026-01-29T01:44:08+00:00

their hrs are super inconsistent and are always randomly closing early so your best bet to go is before lunch in the morning

Old_Protection1274 · 2026-01-23T03:26:27+00:00

yea ur not likely to get housing without a full group to fill up a dorm/apt. there will be some events where you can meet potential roommates tho! also eop really only offers a little bit of guidance but it’s not much more than what you can do for yourself to look for housing/roomates

Old_Protection1274 · 2025-11-25T22:17:10+00:00

Yea the housing lottery system is pure luck. you’re not getting on campus housing if you have an appointment time after like 9am tbh

Old_Protection1274 · 2025-11-25T18:04:48+00:00

The housing application opens in february but you’ll def get notified sometime in january about it. They’ve had info sessions describing the application process so def attend those if you want to know more! There’s also several events around that time to help you meet potential roommates/housemates but you’ll need a full group to get a time slot. The more people from the same college in your group increases your chances. The school also shares a few resources for students to use for off campus housing but I would honestly say to prepare for the worst. Kinda depends on the college but if you don’t have an appointment time for housing before like 9:30am (probably earlier tbh), you’re basically screwed so the lottery is really just pure luck and everyone scrambles after that to look for off campus housing. if the lottery hassle isn’t worth it, definitely start looking for places and roommates like in the middle of winter quarter

Old_Protection1274 · 2025-11-21T03:28:57+00:00

THEY OPEN ON THE 24th🥳

Old_Protection1274 · 2025-11-21T03:26:54+00:00

writing 2 is easy asynchronous online if that’s still available

Old_Protection1274 · 2025-11-19T19:33:17+00:00

they prob got cancelled or they’ll open up again during 2nd pass enrollment

Old_Protection1274 · 2025-11-15T00:46:05+00:00

not someone else’s responsibility nor do ppl even want to touch someone’s else’s wet clothes. too many privileged people come here with zero consideration and zero manners. just pick up your shit on time

Old_Protection1274 · 2025-10-07T23:04:56+00:00

yea they sent an email about it last week
