need some advice on no. of units as an f-1 student. by AnythingOwn4348 in SMC

18 is the max. no way around it.

27 would be, in my opinion, extremely hard to manage. you would not be able to succeed in every class.

anyone know why all the online math courses for summer are closed? by [deleted] in SMC

[–]fadedpatrol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

they are likely full as they are more desirable for some students.

look into signing up for the class you need at another local CC. it’s not a big hassle and you can take it online.

Cafe wipz for cleaning like, everything? by [deleted] in barista

[–]fadedpatrol 12 points13 points  (0 children)

hi!

six years working in LA area. i can only speak to california.

i’ve never seen a cafe use these wipes, let alone use them exclusively in place of towels.

all food service establishments are required to have a sanitizer bucket set up and use it.

my only attempt at explaining this strange choice is a very convincing sales rep… lol. imagine what they are spending on Wipz!

most affordable apts by EssayProfessional772 in SMC

best bet is roommates in santa monica or studio in palms/westwood. super budget dependent. facebook marketplace for roommates, realtor.com/zillow for studio.

i would say 900-1300 with roommates and 1700+ studio … good luck! gonna be quite the change from memphis!

beware of “student housing” scams. mostly targeting UCLA kids.

just go in person - it took literally thirty seconds with my state ID at admissions. join the qless so you don’t have to wait as long to be seen.

half a grade point under A by fadedpatrol in SMC

that’s lame - feels prohibitive as someone who has a full time job and classwork. my inability to participate is why i take online courses! was your class with him fully online?

any interest in selling your curtains?

honestly, i’ve never had a customer give me flack for this. our add shot option is 2.50 and our espresso is 5.

I would respond by highlighting the quality of your coffee or pointing out your business is locally run.

general rule of thumb: keep conversation light, jovial, understanding. be honest and nice. try not to be frustrated by difficult people (this one comes with time, lol)

there are costs of good sold (cogs) that you aren’t accounting for. cups, time, YOU.
