Sorry, I'm just REALLY asian, and I hang out with asians all my life, so i'm kind of feel uncomfortable about this (even though I know I shouldn't be but i can't help it).

asians are scattered everywhere.....fobs are also everywhere as well.
i think there should be a good amount of asians in each area (tercero/segundo/caurto/etc)

hey you`ll have the most parties
HAHahhahah

i heard castilian hall in caurto (this hall is for transfers) has a major party scene.
but i doubt it's the same in other halls.
and not everyone loves parties.

MaryMagdalin,
i stayed at tercero south for summer advising but someone said segundo was the best(?) haha plus, i made my choice looking at pictures online. but hey, since you lived there, i'll take your word for it :]



segundo was the best
until they built tercero south building 1&2 =)
haha altho there is one structure in segundo that is nice that was built a few years back they ahve a bike garage! x[
everyone was soooo jealous of us HAHahahh


are you in honors program?
1&2 last year were for honors students.
excpet they didn`t have that many honor students last year so we kids filled the 3rd and 4th floor

honors program is the dhc thing right?
NOOOPE! i'm assuming it works the same way. i'm on the 4th floor. i'm stuck in a triple and i'm trying to figure out how we split 2 closets with 3 people.

a lot of my classes are around social science building(?), wellman, and chem. i don't have a map on me but would those buildings be closer to segundo or tercero area?

the chem building is really really close to tercero, wellman and the socsci building are a little bit closer to segundo but not that far away from tercero, they are almost equidistant from the two dorm areas.

just be glad you dont live in cuarto.
hi.

Great sleep.gif
That seems REALLY far.
ARGHHHHHH. I wanted segundo...
I'd even rather live in tercero and smell the yummy cow poo.

I guess I'll just have to dwell with it and live the best out of everything, *sigh*.

I got my room assignment, and my new room mate is a white girl which is okay with me, but I kind of want to dorm with an asian cuz it feels more comfortable, you know?

Anyways, my dorm place is in cuarto (i wannted segundo damn it!)
and i got a suite (when I didn't want)
and I was wondering, in cuarto, it's pretty diverse right?
Sorry, I'm just REALLY asian, and I hang out with asians all my life, so i'm kind of feel uncomfortable about this (even though I know I shouldn't be but i can't help it).

But the real reason why I really want to switch out is cuz I didn't get the place I wanted (segundo), the type of configuration,.. arghhhh. Everything about my living arrangement is so WRONG.

I'm probably just pestimistic about this though.
We'll see how it goes...

isn't cuarto really far away from campus?

seriously i was in the same position u were last year.. i stayed in my suite and barely talked to my roommate....haha not fun! webster, emerson, thoreau is just on the edge of campus, a few minutes on bike will get u to the end of campus. Your not pessimestic its just reality, just make sure u get the right idea b4 u decide

hahah i heard about that too, but couldnt smell anything when i visited my friends, maybe just from time to time? same with the path between the arc and segundo dining..

i have a question about taking physics 7a.
since it also includes lab, how does it work?
on my schedule it only shows two lectures and one discussion section, where did the lab section go?

in ucsc, you had to enroll in the lecture and lab seperately.
i guess ucsc is just wierd.

btw i just realized ochem 8a+8b are only 6 units combined, with no lab for 8a.
damn i took a total of 14 units (with 2 labs) when i was in ucsc. tongue2.gif

the physics 7 series is a load of crock. you have one lecture a week which is an hour and a half long and two discussion/labs a week [the common term around campus being DL's] that stand at two and a half hours each.

as for the chem8 series, just drop it and take 118. sure, it counts for your major, but from your previous posts i assume you want to go to professional school afterwards... if you are, they REQUIRE the 118 series and the 8 series isnt worth anything.
hi.

oic, i didnt know the discussion was the same as the lab. i thought discussions were seperate from labs.

as for the ochem series, i actually took it at ucsc before.
so no need to worry about that. smile.gif

Okay. I am completely confused about my financial aid and billing thing. I go to ebill and im sitting there... not knowing what to do...

Does financial aid automatically pay for your expenses, or do you actually have to DO something?
Sorry, I'm such a newbie.
All the balances with negative and positive numbers are confusing me like heck.
Help?

I'm confused at how financial aid works, how they send the money to you and the school and what not...

they automatically take it out of ur expenses

the negative means that they OWE you. i know..confusing...i had to call student accounting

u can either sign up for direct deposit so they directly deposit ur aid or...i think they send u a check? not sure
