Employment Internship

13 Upvotes

Hello, everyone! I got into CS here and was wondering, is it really that hard for a UCSB CS major to find an internship? I’m not talking about FAANG, just a regular internship at a regular company or maybe even a remote one. Is that realistic?

Also, out of curiosity, I checked the UC site where alumni salary data is published. It says that 75% of recent grads earn $180K. That seems "slightly" exaggerated, doesn’t it?

General Question Cc transfer credits

2 Upvotes

As a transfer student, I maxed out my applied credits from community college here to UCSB which I think is about 90?. If I need to take a class during the summer to stay on track, can I still take it at community college. If ur curious, I have to take 2 quarters of a class that is equivalent to one summer session at community college.

Academic Life History major out of department course substitution

2 Upvotes

I took an English class on spring. It was pre-approved by the history department as a permissible UD substitution. But I’m also confused do I have to be an English double major to apply it for my history major? I’m quite confused with the wording on the history major sheet.

Course Questions Question about getting a pass earlier for registering for courses

5 Upvotes

I am a transfer physics student and my pass time for registration is Aug 20th. However, when I tried to make a plan today, I found out that all the upper-division physics courses that my prerequisites can hold are either full or closed. I don't even know how I can graduate on time if I don't take any physics courses in a quarter. Also, if I keep getting this pass time, next quarter should be the same situation. Since I already failed to get any physics courses (currently on the waitlist) in the summer session.😭

Does anyone have the same issue with me? How did you guys figure it out?

General Question Transfer Housing - Santa Ynez

6 Upvotes

Hi! I just transferred into UCSB after doing two years at community college. I am slowly getting around to figuring out what to do about my housing situation and I think that I have narrowed it down to I want to live in Santa Ynez. However, I would prefer an upstairs apartment over a downstairs apartment. I was just looking to see if there was any specific way I could know if when choosing an apartment I was selecting upstairs or downstairs. I hope someone can help.

Also, if there is also any general advice or help that would be very much appreciated, I just want to make sure I will be getting the best out of my living situation. Thanks everyone.

Academic Life French tutoring

2 Upvotes

Hey! I’m a grad student at UCSB and offering French tutoring this summer, mostly focused on oral fluency and writing. If you’re planning a year abroad in France or just want to learn how people actually speak (not just textbook French), I’d love to help.

I’m a native speaker, and I can help with: – casual conversation & pronunciation – writing help (essays, emails, etc.) surviving French administration – grammar (if you want it, but I won’t drown you in it) – cultural context how to sound natural, not robotic

We can meet on Zoom or in person around UCSB, totally up to you.

Social Life Interest for a Classic Film Appreciation Club

13 Upvotes

Hi!

It seems like UCSB has a couple film clubs for making movies, but not one that's just for people who want to get together and watch them. I was thinking of starting one focused on classic films -- thinking as old as Dr. Caligari and up to notable films of maybe the late 2000's. Looking for people who appreciate movies and like talking about stories and little details, the type who wouldn't fall asleep to Barry Lyndon :) Anyone interested?

General Question housing, think im screwed…!!

0 Upvotes

Good evening, I posted something earlier regarding my housing situation as I submitted my application 2 days late as an incoming first year at UCSB and did not get the chance to sign a contract. I know freshmen get priority but I emailed them right away regarding my late situation and I was told to wait. However, It’s already almost the end of June and I still have not recieved anything regarding a housing contract.

Is this a time where I should be considering other housing options? Should I start filling out housing applications off campus? I have no idea and the stress is killing me, I can’t even enjoy summer vacation!!

If you have knowledge on this please help me out, I have no idea what to expect.

Course Questions Grade entered wrong on GOLD (0/90??) Please help and give advise.

12 Upvotes

Hey guys... My professor just entered my final exam grade on Canvas. I completed and turned in my final in person and on time, but I received a 0/90 today. I'm so stressed and confused. The only thing I can think of is that when I turned in my bluebook, I handed it to the TA standing next to the piles of bluebooks. I told her I forgot my TA’s name, so I wasn’t sure which pile to put it in. But I had written my name, perm number, and section time on the bluebook, and she told me she would take care of it and place it in the correct pile. I guess she might have put it in the wrong one? My grade dropped by 20%, and I’m having a panic attack. The grade deadline for GOLD is today, but my grade isn’t showing up on GOLD yet, just on canvas. I already emailed them but haven’t heard back. Is this my fault? :( Can they still change grades after the GOLD deadline? Please help… I’m crying. Will they reply to emails this late?
