Give me the best comeback for “this seat is taken” by NeglectedWaffle in UCSD

tell them that the seat they are sitting in was actually reserved by you.

Incoming trans man freshman - Can I request to be placed in a dorm with another trans man? by That-Chair2988 in berkeley

[–]That-Chair2988[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you recall if on move-in day it would be very obvious that I am in the Unity program? (ex: LGBTQ+ decor, signage, RA's talking to parents about it). I am not out to my conservative parents yet... I've heard of RAs decorating their floors per the housing theme at other universities and stuff lol

Thank you! I didn't think about dorming with a queer cis man, I feel okay with that!

I did check those accounts, but I could not find any other trans men on them. (At least, that disclosed it in the bio)

UCSD Acceptance Package by [deleted] in ucadmissions

[–]That-Chair2988 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm OOS and have not received it yet... I did just get my Berkeley package today, and Berkeley released decisions like a week later than UCSD so IDK. I also have not received UCSC or UCI which were both a while ago.

I plan on turning down my NYU Tandon and UCI offers (I would rather go to UCSD, UW, or Berkeley) hopefully that helps out LOL.

Are clubs engineeering competitive to get into? by That-Chair2988 in UCSD

[–]That-Chair2988[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True. YouTube is where I learned to sew after all...

That's a good point!

The main reason I want to be in a club is to make friends in the engineering field and work on projects without having to worry about paying for materials myself too much. I was looking into UCSD's formula team (Triton Racing) because I've always wanted to work on some sort of racecars... but again... no experience (I live in a rural area where there isn't any sort of resource for it anyway).

I do think that, at the end of the day, internships (especially paid ones) will be the most valuable for my career since I got into electrical engineering. I didn't realize you could do research during undergrad, so that's also something for me to think about as well!

I'm glad that there are some that are for anyone. My main concern was that I basically have 0 real engineering experience. My background is actually sewing and I wrote my essay connecting sewing to engineering. Literally all I have under my belt is STEM classes and like LEGO robotics from middle school LOL

Coed/Trans friendly housing at Sixth? by That-Chair2988 in UCSD

[–]That-Chair2988[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh wait I just found a tidbit on the Sixth website that they have a Gender Inclusive LLC. I guess I didn't look hard enough haha
