Random but Neccessary Questions

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - San Diego

<p>I’ve decided to create a thread for all those random questions people have to ask, questions where the answer is not readily apparent but that only require a simple answer. I’m an incoming freshman and I’ve got a couple of those questions-if they come off as stupid, forgive me.</p>

<li><p>For laundry-do they provide detergent or do you buy your own?</p></li>
<li><p>Do the ERC dorms have elevators? ( I honestly couldn’t care less about this but my mom’s been pestering me to find out for two weeks. I’m not sure why she wants to know…)</p></li>
</ol>

2

<p>You need your own detergent.</p>

<p>I'm not sure about ERC, I never visited.</p>

3

<p>i think they have to, right? all because of the ADA</p>

4

<p>For Revelle's Argo hall, where are the washers/driers located? On every floor or just on the first floor?</p>

5

<p>student113- washers/dryers are located on every floor.</p>

6

<p>Yes, ERC Residence Halls have elevators.</p>

<p>Their apartments don't.</p>

7

<p>Do students generally bring speaker systems?</p>

8

<p>I would recommend it if you really like music.</p>

<p>A lot of people do bring their own. I'm bringing two next year haha. Including this big ass speaker system that I had this last year. People would ALWAYS complain about me playing music too loud. Then I would also hook that stereo up to the playstation or tv so we'd watch movies and play guitar hero on that ish.</p>

9

<p>Whoa... TWO?! Actually my speaker system is pretty small, its only a 2.1 (2 speakers and one box thingy) </p>

<p>QUESTION: Do alot of people bring fans?</p>

10

<p>you may need it if there's a heat wave or your computer is running too hot hehe. at the beginning of the year i remember it being really hot.</p>

11

<p>I doubt you'll need the fan. San Diego is having a heatwave right now. Once it's over (Tomorrow) it should be fine.</p>

12

<p>where is the closest barber?</p>

13

<p>do you eat with your orientation groups throughout the whole two days?</p>

14

<p>WTH? We're still with our orientation groups on move in day?</p>

15

<p>I think he hasn't had orientation yet.</p>

<p>Yes, during orientation you eat with your group and OLs.</p>

16

<p>were is the closest barber??????</p>

<p>and what shuttle should i take to go to UTC for free?</p>

17

<p>The closest is Supercuts at 8657 Villa La Jolla Dr, La Jolla, CA.</p>

<p>Any questions in regards to the city?</p>

<p>"I just found out that P/NP is actually really bad for grad schools. Because they count it as a C when they do your GPA. Or so I've heard from 2 different 3rd year sources."</p>

<p>is this true?</p>

19

<p>Yes and No. Pass/No Pass is essentially you either get the credit or you don't. Since getting full credit is a C, you "pass" with a C grade. But that does not affect your GPA. Graduate schools do not want to see a lot of P/NP classes because they want to see your grades, not credits.</p>

<p>Pass/No Pass will never affect your GPA. Graduate schools tally how many P/NP classes you have taken, and if it is over a certain amount they might reject you just based on that.</p>
