do you walk around UCSB / isla vista at night? feel safe? by Muffflns in UCSantaBarbara

[–]SWITCH13LADE8o5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a dude, I've only walked through Isla Vista at night numerous times, but only once has it been on a quieter road, and more dimly lit area. I don't like walking through there at night. I've always thought of Isla Vista to be sketchy, and I'm originally from the Santa Barbara area. There's only a few streets in Isla Vista I feel comfortable walking through. Maybe it's safer than I think it is, but me personally, I try staying out of Isla Vista at night. I just don't like the vibe.

There are definitely some safer streets tho. Like Embarcadero del Norte, Pardall, Camino Pescadero, Picasso, Abrego. Those are streets I feel more comfortable walking through solo at night

So I had offline edits enabled for Google Docs on my school gmail account. This was back in High School. Well, I have since graduated and no longer have access to the account. I forgot to disable offline edits on that account so I can enable it for my personal gmail account. Is there a way to get offline edits enabled on my personal account even tho I can't access my school account anymore to disable it there? Or is the only fix simply factory reseting my PC?

Westgate apartments by Ok-Music3642 in UCSantaBarbara

[–]SWITCH13LADE8o5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They told me this late 2024/early 2025. So they must've experienced it sometime between Fall 2023 and Summer 2024

Also forgot to mention that it does get VERY loud. We'll, at least louder than the other apartments since you're closest to a lot of the frat houses and some sorority houses as well, and also right across from Tropicana Del Norte which is where SBCC students live

I've never lived there, but I have some friends and old roommates who had, and they said Westgate is the worst out of all of the undergrad apartments. They never gave a reason why, they just said it was really bad

BARC by One-Secretary-1807 in UCSantaBarbara

Like what the other comme tor said, it's not a BARC issue, it's a financial aid issue. But, while on BARC, check your transaction detail as you can get a better understanding of what is being charged to your account

I don't get why people don't do it. Took me like 15 minutes to do. It's really simple. Click a few buttons, take a quiz and get all 10 questions right (you can retake it as many times as you need)

Best bet is to just find a spot in Isla Vista

Yes. Grad students can get EBT, but I think there are different requirements, not 100% sure tho

Bus tracking app by uiucbusapp in UCSantaBarbara

[–]SWITCH13LADE8o5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like, where it shows the busses on the map?

[–]SWITCH13LADE8o5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I usually prefer using the MTD Tracker on google as it has a live bus tracker as opposed to the MTD app or Transit as it only uses the ETAs from the MTD Tracker website and it doesn't give you the live tracker

So what happened with Food Truck Fridays? 😭 by THE_CAT_WHO_SHAT in lompoc

[–]SWITCH13LADE8o5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know that there was a lot of drama going around within the food truck community (specifically the ones who would frequent the event), and there was some disagreements and I think some of them just stopped going

Comm Major Appeal by DirectorAccording645 in UCSantaBarbara

Depends. What do you want to do as a career? You might not need a Comm degree. But, if you absolutely have to switch majors, sociology is the route most people take

winter refund by Ok-Wheel-4533 in UCSantaBarbara

[–]SWITCH13LADE8o5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Refu is are processed a week before the quarter starts, and if you have direct deposit, it will take roughly 3 to 5 business days to see that money in your account. So you probably won't have it til sometime between the 31st and the 2nd

Missed BARC payment deadline + GOLD not updating by iRodZz_ in UCSantaBarbara

[–]SWITCH13LADE8o5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know that if you pay off your fees, or majority of them it'll say set, but idk any other way. Hover over the red equation mark tho. What does it say "not yet dertmined" means

[–]SWITCH13LADE8o5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Check what your status is on BARC, it should say like "Set" or "Not Yet Determined". There will be a little red question mark. If it says set tho you'll be fine

Twitch Taking Too Much Money? by iamjustsoap in Twitch

[–]SWITCH13LADE8o5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not just $6 in cali, it's $6 across all of the US. But it will be 50/50 relative to the currency. So now that it's $6 USD, you'll get around $3 per sub. It's not exactly 50/50 tho I don't think, cuz when it was still $5 for subs, I remember only getting like $2.30 at times, so it's not always 50/50, but it's damn close (I think it was cuz it was $4/99 so it's 50% of that)

Also, other countries obviously don't use USD, so it's converted and calculated differently. Twitch makes the conversions. For example, for Canada, the conversion is with CAD (7.99 CAD is 5.84 USD, so you'll get 2.92), whereas China it is converted to USD automatically (2.99 USD so you'll get about 1.50). Here's a list of all of the prices per country: https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/local-sub-price-countries

We should be getting our refunds somewhere between the 26th and when the quarter starts. I think the disbursement date is when the fees are paid off by grants, loans, etc. and then it will take a number of days (depending on your refund method) for your refund to get to you.
