<p>Let’s say I go to SBCC in the fall 2011. When would it be the best time to look for a place in like Tropicana Gardens or Fontainebleu. What would be the earliest and the absolute latest to look?</p>
<p>so we have to pay fees on sept 15th. do we get financial aid before that or after that?</p>
<p>Is there any way for me to get my admission back to UCSB? I got accepted but played it safe and chose CSULB. Now, I regret it. HELP PLEASE!</p>

<p>In the dorms, Internet is fine; high bandwidth (several Mb/s with a cap at around 800MB total usage during peak hours during the day when they throttle you down to dialup speeds) with few outages.</p>
<p>On campus, Internet is a little more spotty.</p>

<p>Bikes get stolen on a regular basis. Just a few things to note:</p>
<ul>
<li>Your bike will disappear eventually if you just change just one digit on your combo lock or worse, none at all (or better yet, just use a key lock)</li>
<li>Locking only your wheel and not the frame makes it quite likely that you will have only a wheel left.</li>
<li>Locking your wheel to the frame and but not to the rack makes it somewhat likely that you will not have anything left. You also run the risk of CSO impounding your bike because other people may need a spot on the racks and just pull yours out of the way.</li>
<li>Leaving a bike light on your bike is a donation.</li>
</ul>
<p>It’s good practice to lock your back wheel, your frame, and the rack together- your bike will be pretty well secured with that alone. </p>
<p>If by extended time periods you mean long weekends and such, you can always just leave your bike in your room.</p>
<p>Thanks for the response, Thunda.</p>
<p>I’m using a Krypto mini U-lock. I always lock my frame and front wheel. Right now, I’m debating whether it’s worth buying the Krypto evo mini for my rear. Do you ever see people using bolt cutters or anything? Hah, I don’t mean to sound obsessed but my fixie means a lot to me.</p>
<p>Oh and by “extended periods…” I meant duration of class.</p>
<p>for psychology majors, are their mental health clinics or hospitals we can voulunteer at to get volunteer hours?</p>
<p>can we nail posters and stuff? i couldn’t find anything on the housing contract that said no, just physical alteration? so i guess we can’t? sorry for the questions im jw on how id put up paintings or so.</p>
<p>
Well, there are the Cottage Hospitals in Goleta and Santa Barbara:
[Cottage</a> Health System > Get Involved > Volunteering](<a href=“http://www.cottagehealthsystem.org/tabid/216/Default.aspx]Cottage”>http://www.cottagehealthsystem.org/tabid/216/Default.aspx)</p>
<p>I don’t know much about the kinds of hands-on experience you can get out here.</p>
<p>
You can use thumb tacks and things like that to put posters up … as for nails, I’m sure that you’re capable of doing that, as I pulled a few nails out of the walls in my old room, but I don’t know if it’s prohibited. All walls are covered with a thin layer of cloth, so it’s not like there are marks left over after you stick a pin or something in the wall.</p>
<p>is there a skunk problem at ucsb?</p>
<p>Tjonow, there are skunks but rarely will you see one.</p>
<p>How’s the Literature program in CCS?
If you know any asians at UCSB, do they like it there? Does it bother them that they’re a minority of the school?
Does UCSB have a good English program because I want to major in English Language and Literature…Give me as much information about the English program at UCSB, please and thank you :D</p>
<p>there are some asians here and they are the minority, but it doesnt seem to be a problem, a lot of asians hang out together through clubs and stuff but everyone gets along with everyone for the most part</p>
<p>yeah you see skunks every now and then</p>
<p>what are the core classes that every incoming freshman is required to take, regardless of major ? math, science, history, and english i presume ?</p>
<p>There are quite a few university and general education requirements, and the Advising website explains them a lot better than I could:
[Letters</a> & Science Academic Advising :: Graduation Requirements](<a href=“http://www.advising.ltsc.ucsb.edu/graduation/requirements.php]Letters”>http://www.advising.ltsc.ucsb.edu/graduation/requirements.php)</p>
<p>They do change occasionally, but I haven’t heard about any changes recently - you’ll see them in the [Letters</a> and Science Academic Requirements handbook (LASAR - in PDF, here)](<a href=“http://www.advising.ltsc.ucsb.edu/assistance/LASAR_2009-10.pdf]Letters”>http://www.advising.ltsc.ucsb.edu/assistance/LASAR_2009-10.pdf) for your year when you get a copy at Orientation. </p>
<p>It’s really not too complicated, and once you browse through classes on your own, you’ll see how everything works out. For example, you could graduate without ever taking a History or Science course, because a Political Science or Math course may satisfy the same requirement (respectively).</p>
<p>Best time to get out of the UC system I must say</p>
<p>“Best time to get out of the UC system I must say”</p>
<p>How is that?</p>
<p>Is it necessary to have a bike? like are the campus distances really far or something? (i’m livin in anacapa probably fyi, and i dont really wanna ride a bike cuz i wear a lot of dresses) lol. and how is taking the bus? like to downtown?</p>
<p>probably referring to the hike in tuition cost, you can walk to most places on campus its not too bad, anacapa, if you’re talking about the dorm is like near the lib and you can get around walking, downtown you can take the bus for free when you get the sticker</p>
<p>I’m not attending orientation at all, but my pass time to register for classes is september 3rd? i know that orientation gives equal space to people when registering for classes, but if you don’t go to orientation will there be any spaces left?</p>
