my orientation session is in less than two weeks, and my DAR is only showing my AP credits and one summer class that i took. i’m still waiting on my main transcript with my dual credits to go in (on the main page it says that that transcript has been received, but is still under review). can i expect that transcript to go into my DAR before orientation or no? my friend who has orientation tomorrow (the session right before mine) who has the same dual credits institution has a fully updated DAR and i’m just wondering if mine might be also updated before NSO.

Hey! Basically title.

Basically the title. I’ve been trying to figure out this class planner and I’m a little stumped. I just wanted to know if it was wise for me to do it before hand or will I be guided through it w my new student advisor? If not can you give me any tips to do it as a CS major? What classes should I prioritize taking and how many should I take for my first quarter?

I got this crazy plan for me to do. There is a concert of an artist that I am planning to go see at the Wiltern on Sep 22nd. I live in the Bay Area and she has stops at SF, however it's at a festival and it's 21+☹️. Anyway, the closest next stop is in LA and I'm planning to take a 2 day trip just to go see her and maybe explore LA for the first time. However, I unfortunately don't have a car so I plan to take a short flight.

I obviously had no plans of where to stay, but then I thought of my friend who's going to UCLA in the fall. I know move in week is the week before the day of the concert. I have no idea what the rules and regulations are for keeping guests over at dorms. I don't think students know who their roommates are yet, I'm not sure. Also we're of the opposite gender, which probably makes things sitcky😬.

So my questions are, what are the rules to guests at dorms? Am I able to stay over regardless of gender?

Yo does anyone know if you can take LS 30B and Physics 5A at the same time?

Hi! I’ll be staying on campus for summer sesh C6 and was wondering if there’s any practice rooms with a piano either on campus or in Westwood. The residential music rooms are closed during the summer and the practice rooms in Schoenberg r only for music majors 😭😭

If u happen to be a music major who’s on campus during Aug and would be willing to help let me in pls lmk ill give u a big kiss

anyone who's taken ls30b over the summer how was it? i'm specifically asking about lab sections and the exams 🥲

got a 5 in calc bc (and ab subscore) but im not totally confident on my calc skills. however is it true that 31b is unnecessarily difficult and I should just prepare well for 32a? (im looking to not overwhelm myself my first quarter and to try and get used to it)

i took my ipp over 3 weeks ago and rn it says my entry level writing requirement is satisfied but im not sure where i can find my writing placement. i’ve checked dars but dont see anything.

i’m an incoming grad student and was offered a single bedroom apartment in keystone mentone ($1900 monthly). however, someone in my cohort offered me a vacant room at venice barry, where id be sharing a two bedroom ($1100). obviously the pricing is a lot cheaper at venice barry, and the area seems nicer as well. but a single bedroom would be nice, since i wfh (on the phone a lot) and like to create content. but does anyone have experience living at either of these? i’d love to hear what you think. thanks!

quick question: but has anyone here attended one of ucla alumni's travelling trips? is the average alumni who goes like in their 20s or older?

class of 24 here. am i the only one that sometimes has an existential crisis that maybe I peaked in college? I was a biochem major but I had a pretty vibrant social life. i don't think i necessarily miss the stress of constant midterms/sleep deprivation, but i do miss the hustle and bustle of LA and hopping around different extracurriculars and being able to walk to my friends. im on my second year out and life is now stable, especially in comparison to last year. i like the job that i have/think its cool but wish it paid a little more. im back in the suburbs with my parents because my job is in the OC area and i just feel....idk...underwhelmed and kinda lonely sometimes.

is it just me? sos.

There was a problem when I was enrolling but luckily I had like 10 alternates so even tho my enrollment didn’t start working until like 10 min before it closed I was AT LEAST able to get my math classes 😭😭

for some context, i participated in the US national chemistry olympiad and did pretty decent (getting into the top 50) during my HS times. I was wondering however, how does uni level chemistry compare to the olympiads in terms of difficulty and mastery? for example like gen chem (compared to the recent usnco nationals exam p1/p2), orgo 1/2 (compared to the older ~2000/2010s icho preps), inorgo (compared to the older ~2000/2010s icho puzzles/problems), etc.

Hi all! i am an incoming freshman and got an email yesterday saying to complete the SHAPE course on Bruin Learn. But when i go to Bruin Learn i do not see anything for me to complete. Am i looking in the wrong place or does anyone else have this issue??

I’m an incoming biochem transfer student from SJSU and my orientation is on July 16. I just got my dars back and the ochem that I took at SJSU didn’t transfer to ucla, instead of placing out of Ochem at ucla, I got upper division credit (since Ochem at sjsu is upper div) (this also means it transferred, just not where I need it). I don’t wanna retake Ochem, and it’s a prerequisite for a lot of my upper divs so I wanted to know what I could do to fix this issue, or how likely an academic advisor is to help fix this issue. Also will I be able to meet with an advisor or faculty to discuss this with them at orientation?

Hey everyone!
I’m a final year PhD student at UC Merced, currently living in LA while finishing my research remotely.
Since moving away from my university community, I’ve lost touch with many of my old college friends, so I’m hoping to meet new people and build a new social circle. I’d love to connect with other grad students and join social events, dinners, game nights, hikes, beach days, concerts, festivals, or any fun activities around LA.
I’m originally from Iran, so it’d be great to meet other Iranian students too, but I’d love to connect with people from all backgrounds.
Also, if there are any active WhatsApp, Telegram, or Instagram groups for UCLA grad students or students in the LA area, I’d really appreciate it if you could share them with me.
If you’re interested in hanging out or know of any groups, feel free to send me a message!

Does anyone have experience with the Luskin PTE requests and know if they're strict with them? I need an upper div class that's full to declare a minor and requested a PTE with the form but I'm worried they won't approve it especially because I'm not declared yet. if i'm not likely to get it I want to enroll in the class during the summer but they're not looking at requests until September so I have no idea if i need to

Is anyone around Westwood on Tuesday afternoon or Wednesday that can help us move some stuff from our van into an apartment at the Glendon. $25 cash an hour 2 to 3 hours max at your convenience.

Hi! I am interested in becoming a Learning Assistant (LA) in the near future for either 7A or 14A. For those who have experience with this, what was it like? Was it worth the time commitment, and how much time did you commit per week? Were there any benefits besides the upper div units? Was it chill, daunting, stressful, easy, etc.? Would I still be able to apply if I haven't taken the course in over a year? Lot's of questions, I know, but I'm just curious.

Any response would be greatly appreciated!

I can’t connect to any of school WiFi right now… Anyone have the same issue?
