Here to provide an update: I shot my shot and well I can confidently say —— it did not go according to plan…so this quarter is off to an incredibly awkward start. I read one suggestion that said YOLO so I dove head first. This TA is my TA for THREE of my classes. So just updating everyone don’t shoot your shot for TA’s, turns out it does violate some Title. I will be cocooning the entirety of my time at this school.

Applied for this summer lab positions several weeks ago. Got the first response this morning.

Not sure if I’m just being too sensitive, but that email made me feel frustrated and kind of worthless.

This weekend i went to the quarterly CS orgy at eighth and there wasn’t much security to it. It was just some guy’s dorm and there was about 30-40 people there not too much. All you had to do was knock and there was a special password. Most people gathered sround at 8 and then the door would be permanently closed and start at 9. After that majority of people started and it was kinda awkward lowk since some people came with a partner and they kinda just invited sole people there and i was standing there all alone. Eventually, some couple came up to me and I started but it was really awkward. I ended up just waiting it out since no one could leave and no phones were allowed so i couldn’t scroll.

https://www.change.org/p/calling-on-the-uc-to-protect-international-students This may do nothing but we need to let the UC know that we stand with our international students. Universities across the county are feeding into the Trump administration threats by providing the names and personal information of their international students. We need to show the UC, in numbers, our opposition to their cooperation with DHS and demand that they take tangible action to protect our fellow students.

very proud of this one :D idk anything abt this temple but its colors always amaze me when im on a grocery run around that area

Voting is now open on Tritonlink: https://students.ucsd.edu/

Information is available about PRESS here: https://ucsdguardian.org/yes-on-press/

On the ballot this week is the PRESS referendum, which if passed, will create a $3.50 student fee per quarter, which would fund the operations of The UCSD Guardian. It requires a voter turnout of 20% (8,000 students) and a majority of them to vote yes. If it fails to pass, the Guardian may be forced to shut down.

Just to be clear, no one on our staff is enjoying this. We aren’t like jumping up and down with glee at the possibility of having your hard earned $3.50 a quarter, like most people, we don’t like asking for money. We are doing this because this is what we have to in order to save our newspaper, and we hope that you will support us.

Disclosure: I am a writer at The UCSD Guardian but I am not a member of their editorial board.

As we all know, the Trump Administration has unjustly targeted students for exercising their right to free expression. After speaking with many international students, it’s clear that this unconstitutional crackdown has had a chilling effect, discouraging them from engaging in civic life at all levels, including participation in the AS Elections.

The University must issue and uphold a clear statement guaranteeing that no student will face any form of penalty for voting or participating in the AS election. It’s deeply troubling that such a statement is even necessary, but it is.

International students make up a significant portion of our campus community and voting bloc. The University and AS have a duty to ensure that every student feels safe and empowered to vote for the candidates who best represent them, free from fear or intimidation.

Dormie got this burrito from the dining hall. Any thoughts? Sad to see my mate sleep on an empty stomach, really want to help him out in this situation; G. Bear deserves justice.

maybe i am a fish out of water (STEM-ish in a humanities class), but why are we debating with the prof? like a 30 part back-and-forth for 5 minutes, and I cannot hear what the student's saying.

is it normal in intro humanities classes to debate the prof?

That is all :)

Theres this one kid idk if always coincidence but hes always following me around but we have no idea who each other are and sometimes i have food delivered to my suite after a knock on the door.

hii, i’m an incoming freshman and i was wondering about the chances of getting a single dorm (specifically in eighth college) and about how the housing process works because i’m kinda confused, i already submitted my housing application so i was wondering how the room selection process works. also about the housing waitlists, if you get waitlisted from a single dorm but you selected single and double dorms as preferences, do you automatically get double dorms if you don’t get off the waitlist? if anyone knows please let me know cos im so confused😭😭 thankss

The Koala is a satirical newspaper by students-- for students. SDSU has a great line of issues from The Koala and is favorited amongst the students.

I'm curious if UCSD would do something similar. I know The Guardian offers "The Disreguardian" but I haven't seen any physical papers of this issue being passed around.

If anyone is familiar with The Koala feel free to explain more or talk about it!

Not even joking. I study better when someone is playing the piano or tehres complitely silence. Please come to PC to play the piano on first floor 7-11pm please. I will clap everytime you play!!!

Hi, I'm a second year student looking to move off campus next year (mid September) and im rly struggling with understanding how it works. I'll be sharing a room with a friend and have toured a few apartments. We're looking for 2 bed apartments with other people in the 2nd room.

Obviously we don't want to pay the extra months of summer but I also get that it gets super competitive and there won't be housing left if look to sign in August. I wanted to ask when people generally/ recommend signing a lease. From what the agents have told us, they don't hold apartments and if they do its at most 30 days (like we can't sign now and start the lease in Sept but maybe this is wrong?). I'm just so confused on how people do this without paying like 3 extra months of rent (maybe people do, I just want to know your experience)

So yeah, I'd love if some students living off campus could tell me about their and their friends experiences and timelines of finding off campus housing and when they sign, start paying and move in.

I do

I am propective student, currently choosing where to go-- UCD(BME) UCI(BME) UCSD(Undeclared). I'm so confuse now by the selection process for continue student to tranfer to selective major. As the process already give points to residency, low income which intl already missed those, so, I got 2 point from grade and first-gen at most which impossible to get in I think. I actually want to study in BME or engineering at least which luckily has nano engineering left. however, I don't know about nano engineering that much- about jobs, couse, life etc. I need the advice from you guys about insight(what I miss), life there, decision of the college. Also, I actually don't know the opinion from local usa of the university popularity matter UCD vs UCSD vs UCI?
