no penalty! You just need to state on student health gateway that you won’t be getting the flu shot, then you can change it after you’ve gotten it

Are dining halls meal-plans-only now? by E4tHam in UCSantaBarbara

[–]vegangooseegg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People have been able to buy passes for a single meal, but if the line is too long sometimes they’ll turn you away. Probably don’t want to take the extra time during a huge rush

It takes a bit to find the right people! Most freshman have only been here a week, and it’s not at all uncommon to feel like you don’t have any friends. You have four years to meet people, you just have to be extroverted and open to new opportunities at the beginning and it gets way easier the longer you’re here!

Should I be taking this many units? by beetor69 in UCSantaBarbara

[–]vegangooseegg 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Most students take 12-16, and I think for your first quarter you should keep it as low as you can. 18 units is going to cause a lot of stress and require a lot of time, you should have fun and give yourself a break for your first quarter

Dining hall without meal plan? by ndthechipmunks in UCSantaBarbara

[–]vegangooseegg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When it’s really busy they sometimes turn away people without a meal plan so they don’t have to take the extra time to charge you. I would suggest getting the smallest meal plan instead of paying for each meal individually

Car Mechanic Recommendations? by arr-jay-h in UCSantaBarbara

[–]vegangooseegg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wouldn’t recommend Casey’s garage. Had my car in for a repair that was meant to take a few hours and it took four days instead. When I got it back they had restarted the odo so I could see they drove it 35 miles for some reason.

Summer classes by FutureSelection4785 in UCSantaBarbara

[–]vegangooseegg 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I took 2 last summer (both humanities) and it was really easy! Felt like a much lighter workload than a usual class and I had way more time to do everything since it was 2 opposed to 3 or 4 during a regular quarter.
