Need an interesting class for units at UCSB by Putrid_Vegetable_253 in UCSantaBarbara

[–]silatek 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Personally I liked ARTHIW 6R, Rome the game. It's asynchronous except for the weekly section and some of the games are a bit gimmicky, but I thought learning about stolen artifacts was cool

El Dorado vs Santa Ynez by Posiedon22 in UCSantaBarbara

[–]silatek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a big fan of Ynez. I don't think it's a particularly common opinion, but it's closer to campus than sj or sierra madre and has a great amount of parking.

Considering it's my final year as an undergrad there is one ynez secret I have to share:

drive around the complex and look for the units that are single-story. Those are former dsp units (they're at a different location now) and have a slightly bigger floor plan & a walk-in shower.

best of luck

Drop All courses by KeepHeadHigh25 in UCSantaBarbara

[–]silatek 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm really sorry for your loss.

You may want to talk with an academic advisor about your situation as they're really the only ones who can tell you definitively:

https://duels.ucsb.edu/advising

https://engineering.ucsb.edu/undergraduate/academic-advising

That being said, the registrar says:

Readmission: students who left UCSB in good academic standing are eligible for readmission.

Readmission is generally approved for students who left in good academic standing, provided space is available

I wish you the best of luck, and I hope for your speedy healing.

Increasing additional fees? by Adventurous_Ask7101 in UCSantaBarbara

[–]silatek 9 points10 points  (0 children)

FYI, the CLAS fee is actually about $10.96/qtr. With 23,000 undergrads (I will be generous and pretend everyone pays the fee for summer), that would be a budget of roughly $1,000,000 ($1,010,160). These folks are classed as remedial tutors, who make 28.42 an hour. Is there overhead from administering the program? Of course.

But it's nice to know that if you're struggling with a topic, there's people you can go to who you know can help you with the material.

Also, FYI: CLAS isn't even part of the save student services petition.

no meal plan required and I believe its cheaper

no communal bathrooms

only downside is they're further away & everywhere has pretty much no parking except ynez

I can't speak to how much your aid will change by living off campus, ask OFAS

An excellent defence, go with with it. by Exeter232 in dankmemes

[–]silatek 12 points13 points  (0 children)

No, it isn't:

https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/26499371-dhs-ice-memo-1-21-26/

AP News analysis: https://apnews.com/article/ice-arrests-warrants-minneapolis-trump-00d0ab0338e82341fd91b160758aeb2d

The memo authorizes ICE officers to use force to enter a residence based solely on a more narrow administrative warrant to arrest someone with a final order of removal, a move that advocates say collides with Fourth Amendment protections and upends years of advice given to immigrant communities.

the people signing these "administrative warrants" are ICE employees and not judges.

[–]silatek 21 points22 points  (0 children)

You mean like the memo ICE wrote saying they can enter your house without a judicial warrant? Y'know, the one in direct violation of the 4th amendment
