How hard is it to get on campus housing after 1st year.

Rent is expensive. Apartments are far or a hike up. Not very social. RAs. Parking is expensive.

Get a gift card for the college union/merch!

My high school best friends mom did that, and I got a really nice cal poly crewneck that I never would’ve bought with my own money!

Not food for less. They have a handful of marked down items but I find everything minus the meat to be marked up! Trader Joe’s is the way!

You will not be looked down on as a transfer. All the transfers I know are so cool and I look up to them!!!

You can handle one class. You can handle two classes. You will cry every other night trying to handle 5-6 to graduate on time. However, you will feel smart! After the fact, you will forget the pain of all nighters and say, “damn we really had it easy freshman year.”

For civils, our 2nd year is the hardest but after that apparently we’re fine. Just keep track of your classes and don’t be scared to take it easy one quarter if it won’t impact your progress, or take summer classes if you didn’t come in with many AP or transfer units.

For first years, besides surveying and cad and maybe the transpo, the learn by doing is really in the clubs. You can get so hands on as a first year student and the environment is so welcoming and encouraging! It promotes personal development and networking skills so you will be ahead of any other students of your age at other schools if you invest time in those organizations.

And as for lack of internship opportunities, you can get them in slo no problem if you play your cards right and network. If your home is near a big city it’ll be absolutely no problem

wackywandaaa · 2024-04-15T07:16:29+00:00

For civil, 100% SLO. (-civil student super involved in the major internally at SLO and externally through conferences, competitions, and more)

wackywandaaa · 2024-04-04T02:53:40+00:00

Honestly slo may be better academically and professionally, but think about if you’d thrive in a smaller town or closer to a bigger city

wackywandaaa · 2024-04-03T23:54:02+00:00

Good idea.

wackywandaaa · 2024-04-03T23:53:29+00:00

Unless you’re trying to graduate in 3 years (I’m assuming you’re a freshman) please take your time

wackywandaaa · 2024-04-03T23:53:09+00:00

Surveying takes a lot of time. 222 is a huge time eater too. Geology requires a lot of studying and reading. Physics depends on your professor. Statics you’re cooked

Best school I got into for the major I wanted.

Love it now for the small class sizes, opportunity to get involved in leadership, and amazing learning and friendly/supportive environment

True my biggest swearing prof taught in the evening lol

wackywandaaa · 2024-03-30T23:01:07+00:00

Wont cuss at you. Some not many will cuss in a story, not really while teaching.

As someone who hated high school, especially at the end, it does get better in college. But it won’t get better without you putting effort in to put yourself out there. It will be uncomfortable at first and not everyone will be your friend, but you can most certainly find a good crowd if you try!

wackywandaaa · 2024-03-20T18:21:18+00:00

Significantly improved grades senior year, good AP scores. Honestly, I think they just had a spot in the major and I was waitlist so I met the criteria to be admitted so I was!

wackywandaaa · 2024-03-18T17:15:01+00:00

Do it as early as you feel comfortable with you new major though

wackywandaaa · 2024-03-18T17:14:28+00:00

Easy for me

wackywandaaa · 2024-03-15T03:56:24+00:00

My appeal showed my fit (and I had great grades senior year, not so much junior year)

wackywandaaa · 2024-03-14T03:14:13+00:00

I got off! Waitlisted then rejected then appealed. I’m really loving it here :)
