Today, October 27, between approximately 12:50 PM and 12:55 PM, I was biking to work when a white SUV with a body style similar to a Toyota RAV4 ran a stop sign and nearly hit me at the intersection of Picasso Road and Camino Pescadero. The vehicle had Texas license plates. The driver appeared to be an Asian male, approximately 18–21 years old, with long hair. After nearly hitting me, he sped away and ran a red light at the intersection of El Colegio Road and Camino Pescadero.

I have already filed a police report. If anyone has information about a vehicle matching this description, please DM me.

Normally, I would try to move on from an incident like this, but I don't want to see others get hurt. Recently, UC Davis undergraduate student Lincoln Sabini lost his life while biking to class.

We need to hold reckless drivers in Isla Vista accountable before someone else gets hurt. Thank you.

I know there's a fb group for Bay Area carpools but I hate meta with a passion. So if you're looking to carpool this weekend lmk! (:

Hey everyone!
I’m a guitarist living in IV, and I’ve already found a bassist who’s interested in starting a band with me.
We’re currently looking for a drummer and a vocalist! We’re mostly into indie and alternative rock, but we’re open to other genres as well.
Nothing too serious or high commitment. We’re just hoping to get a band together, play some music, and eventually perform at house parties around IV!
If anyone’s interested or knows someone who might be, feel free to let me know! :)

I would love to hear your recommendations and experiences with them to help me in this application!

I’m a chem major hoping to go into material science and I wanted to minor in physics too because I like physics and it’s applicable to materials. I was wondering if the phys 7 series that chem and engineering majors take (doing 7A-7D since that’s the requirement for the minor) can be used as a prereq for upper divs, specifically 115ABC and 119A? And if it’s sufficient preparation, given that it’s only 4 quarters? I’m asking because the prerequisites on the course catalog and on GOLD only mention the physics 20 series or the physics 1 series, and I know the physics 1 series was discontinued and made into the 7 series. Does it still overlap even though the 7 series has one less course? Also, does phys 7L fill the lab requirement?

Pretty much just the title. I'm thinking of taking an online async class over the summer, but I'd probably not be on campus, is that something that's possible? Can I take the class completely remote?

I have an extra ticket to see Pinhead Gunpowder at the Fremont Theater on November 8. Thought it could be fun to go with someone who's into Green Day or punk music and meet someone new.

Ticket is on me. If you're interested, feel free to DM me!

Parent of a 1st year gaucho here. Some questions about housing for 2nd year

1. If you want to try to get a campus apartment- how does that work? Bc it seems to me you'd have to sign a lease in IV before you'd find out if you got an on campus place- right? So if that happens then what, you have to sublease your IV room?

2. When do you need to apply/search for IV housing?

3. What is a GOOD price for sharing a room in IV? (i.e. sharing bedroom with 1 person in a 1, 2, 3 or 4 b/r apt or house)

4. Can you recommend any "affordable" places that decently nice?

Is it possible to take both Econ 1 and Econ 3a simultaneously during winter quarter or should I take each course separately?

any advice?

Can someone give me the link and directions to getting the google sheet of the schedule of PHYS courses offered throughout the academic year?

does anyone have a good TA for econ 1? (benzarti)

Hello! We are reaching out to anyone at UCSB who wants to start their own Geometry Dash club! I think it would be great if we could get more schools involved.

Basically, our group (Geometry Dash at UCI) is trying to start up a project involving several UC, CSU, and other schools called "GD Collegiate California." There are already like 50 members, some from various UC schools. You might be able to meet others from UCSB! And eventually, we want to host statewide tournaments.

You never know how many people share your interests, but it only takes a few people to get together to form a club, which is what happened with us.

Earlier this week, about halfway through a two-hour lecture, I received a text message informing me that my grandmother had passed away. The news was completely unexpected, and I tried my best to keep my composure until our scheduled break. Because I was sitting at the front of the classroom, I could not stop a few tears from falling, and my professor noticed that I was visibly upset.

When the break began, I approached him. He asked if I was alright, and I could barely choke out what had just happened. While he expressed his condolences and told me I could leave, he immediately added that I would lose my participation credit for the day. This felt incredibly callous and inappropriate given the circumstances.

The following day, I sent an email formally requesting that this be treated as an excused emergency absence. He denied my request, stating he would only reconsider if I could "(a) provide me with a website stating that information [bereavement = mandated excused emergency], or (b) have someone with proper authority on this issue reach out to me directly."

I normally would not email a professor to contest docked points, but losing participation for that single day cost me 5% of my overall grade in this short-term certificate course. Being forced to defend my grief for the sake of my grade has felt deeply dehumanizing, and his response has left me entirely unsure of how to proceed.

I’m from the UK, I study ecology and wildlife. I’m considering applying for a post doc here but the living costs are kinda concerning. I drive, but would probably use a motorbike most of the time, so don’t mind living further afield. Rush hour come at me with the ability to lane filter aha!

I surf and hike so this place seems like it would be a really good fit, I think I’d enjoy the work and the area! Apart from the wage and living costs that is.

Has anyone here moved to the US for a post doc and can give me a vibe of what it’s like, or can any other post doc let me know how they manage living here with the wage constrains - and if it’s feasible to afford a bike too.

Hi all, I’m taking Chem 1A next quarter with Prof Price and looking for the best guidance to go about finding a chem tutor. I dropped it this quarter because it was too fast even with attending CLAS and drop in hours - I definitely need a 1 on 1 tutor. That being said, how should I go about finding a private tutor if I’m on a low budget? Or if there’s an option for free tutoring and it counts for someone’s hours for volunteering or something. Obviously open to fellow students but just don’t know where to look. Thanks!

Just got my Exam 1 grade back. Honestly did worse than I expected, especially after doing pretty well on the practice quizzes.
How did everyone else do? Curious about the overall score distribution and whether other people also found the actual exam harder than the practice quizzes.
Does anyone know the class average?
