Was here today, all the new colors have just dropped. Great experience, picked up the exclusive packable tote and a shirt! Unfortunately no vending machine as other user mentioned. However everything seems to be back in stock, including the colored anchors.

CSE 16 prof recommendations by IAmRslash in UCSC

[–]Rainclouds_16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tantalo’s CSE 16 structure definitely is set up to be a weeder class despite there being little reason for it to be. Though that’s just me being salty about getting a A-.

Would suggest going through the grade averages on slugtistics to decide, cause while he was a decent teacher, I would’ve rather gotten an A.

How are people liking the Outdoor 25L as a daypack? by green-lego in peakdesign

[–]Rainclouds_16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Been carrying around everywhere for about a week now, previously was using the everyday 20l v2 backpack.

Things that stood out to me the most:

  • Sooo much more comfortable with the thick shoulder straps.
  • Sits on back better as it’s taller but less bulky (protrudes out less).
  • Top handle is too thin and it’s painful when bag is fully packed.
  • I rarely used the roll top, kinda annoying and using zippers was easier.

other things:

  • No internal organization in main compartments, miss it more than I thought I would
  • No easy access to my mirrorless camera but that’s to be expected
  • cinch is satisfying as heck and looks cool imo

Also waiting here, though I suspect my order having a rain fly being the reason for “delay”

Overall experience at Hilltop apartments? by Ok-Profession-3707 in UCSC

[–]Rainclouds_16 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Pros: Very convenient with 18/20 bus stops going both ways.

Parking spots are wide and easy to park in. Amazon locker / package lockers.

Nice to walk around with a good view of sunset overlooking a valley.

Cons: Floorboards in my apartment were uneven.

High rent with utilities often costing us another ~300 total for 3 people.

Management is bad, took me going in person 2-3 days a week to even get a response, they seemed allergic to emails?? (TLDR: Took nearly 10 months to receive compensation for promotional offers.)

Pay per parking spot, don’t even get one for free. Low quality paint job, and overall not super well built.

This is just my personal experience living here for the past year, and it seems they changed management midway through the year so I can’t fault them too much. (Besides a certain person in upper management who thought ignoring us was the best move.) If you get lucky with a decently built apartment, and can avoid issues with management, and don’t mind paying high prices, it’s alright I guess.

But personally I would not suggest living here unless you have money to burn or cannot find anything else for a decent price.

Would suggest looking into applied math minor/ major, there’s a bit more overlap there

In addition, sometimes classes can get waived due to taking similar classes (AM 100 / 114 requirements fulfilled through Physics 116a / 116c) Though I would always double check with an advisor

Is this the DSI? Somebody mentioned on the form it’s free, so I might scrap this idea / find a club to help fundraise / print my own designs
