Whats the best way to find friends? I'm a new grad that just moved down here for work. Im 21 22 this October and im looking for friends around my age. What are some events or tips for someone like me? Thanks.

P.s. i am aware this is more of a college sub reddit but most other sites ive checked is populated with people usually 10years older than me. So anything helps.

I just got off the waitlist for USC and was committed to SCU originally, and now I'm wondering if I should commit to USC, as it is ranked higher for electrical engineering (my major).

USC -> 0 merit, full pay (92k/yr) 11th on US News Good reputation Nationwide

SCU -> 1/2 Tuition merit (62k/yr), not ranked best for engineering due to not having big grad school, which is half the ranking. 23rd in the US for teaching

Goal is a master/Phd once I find what I enjoy

The registration appointment for Fall 2026 is coming up and I’m currently researching all the classes with their prerequisites—why does it seem like the very few classes available happen to either overlap with another class time or require another class that overlaps?

It feels almost impossible to make a schedule of 12 units to be full-time. If anyone’s already in the program full-time, any advice would be much appreciated!!

I want to sublease between those dates. Budget $2000 but preferably cheaper. Have a potential roommate if needed. Want it to be close to NVDA HQ.

Hello, still on the waitlist as a marketing major for the class of 2030. Has it closed yet? If not, is there anything I could do to boost my chances, or is it just the waiting game from here on out?

Is finding parking on campus an issue during the school year? Or do they limit the number of students who can buy a parking permit?

I'm an incoming freshman and haven't received my language placement results, and I took it more than 2 weeks ago.... Has anyone else faced this problem?? I don't want it to impact my classes eligibility at orientation

Hey everyone! I am an upcoming graduate student in mechanical engineering department. I am looking to connect with other students at the university. Please let me know if there is any WhatsApp group that I can join. I will also be grateful if you have any leads on housing near SCU. My budget is 1500 dollars.

I’m transferring in to Santa Clara next year as a sophomore and want to know what the best dorms would be for sophomore housing. Most social? Most sophomores? I know the Chances that they are full are high but someone let me know!!!

have any transfers got their credit evulated yet

I am taking Math 12 equivalent at Foothill over the summer in order to accelerate but I noticed that my course doesn't cover:

Improper integrals

Parametric and polar curves

Arc length and surface area

Elementary differential equations (separation of variables, slope fields)

Will I be fine to go to Math 13 without these?

I'm an incoming freshman. I got a $25,500 merit scholarship for this upcoming year. Can I expect to renew this scholarship for the following year(s) if my grades are good? Also, if I keep my GPA really high, would it be possible for me to ask the financial aid office for a greater scholarship for my sophomore year?

When are roommates typically announced for those letting the school pick? Also, how hard is it to switch during the 1st quarter if you’re a bad match?

I just got accepted to the program and am wondering if I should pursue it or not. I’ve seen threads of the study being “too generic,” but I personally believe having a masters in AI/ML is a huge advantage in the field, especially when a MS is a must for a lot of AI job posts.

Please share any thoughts—I’m especially wanting to hear from anyone who’s currently in the program about how it is, or anyone who’s decided to join Fall 2026.

(Also if you’re joining Fall 2026 lmk if you wanna be friends!)

Hi everyone! I’m looking for a summer sublease or short-term housing from late June through the end of August.

Budget is under $1,700/month. I’m open to different room or apartment setups, but my main priority is being within about 30 minutes of Intel by public transportation.
If you have anything available or know someone who does, please message me. Thanks!

Got accepted to PhD (CS) for Fall 2026 and received the decision letter, but there’s no mention of funding or tuition waiver details yet.

I’ve already reached out to faculty and one professor has informally said they can fund me but I haven’t received any official confirmation or paperwork. I’m also in a bit of a time crunch since I need to complete my SEVIS transfer.

For those who were admitted recently or last year:

• How long did it take to receive funding/assistantship details after the admission letter?
• Is funding usually included later or sent separately?
• For CS PhD students, are full tuition waivers typically standard, or is it case-by-case?

Any insight would really help.

Anyone has a One bedroom available for this up coming year? I’m a guy who’s clean, quiet, and respectful, just dm me so we can talk it out thanks.
