    Transferring to UCLA from a CC felt like jumping into the deep end. Finals nearly drowned me

    "By week 3 you have midterms" is the most accurate description of UCLA I've ever read lol. I transferred from a CC too and my first quarter felt like being hit by a truck. The pace is insane. But you made it. And you learned the office hours thing. That alone is worth more than most classes.

    How to maximize your chances of winning the UCUES prizes 💳

    I won the VISA last year and I'm pretty sure it's because I did the survey at like 2am the night it opened lol. I couldn't sleep and figured why not. The email came maybe 2 weeks later and I genuinely thought it was phishing because it just said "You've won!" with a link. But I clicked it...

    How do transfer students make friends at SDSU?

    I'm transferring to SDSU as a junior and I'm terrified of being the new kid. A student review said: “There's a transfer orientation, which helps. You meet people in the same boat” . Another said: “If you live off campus, you have to be intentional. Join a club or you'll feel isolated.” The...

    Can I afford to live near SDSU on a part-time job?

    I'm transferring to San Diego State and trying to figure out housing. A student review said: “Rent near campus is brutal. You need roommates or a second job” . Another said: “I live further out and commute. It's cheaper but I feel disconnected from campus” . I'll be working part-time while in...
