All that fucking hard work for nothing. The overall experience is absolute trash but I thought, maybe, the reputation would save it but just look at that shit. 1 in 3. What the fuck. That's middle america tier. Just let anyone in! Worked hard? Come on in! Did you work just a bit more than usual? Come on in!

I got fucking regents, they bought me the fuck out, but fuck this I should have gone to USC or UCLA and just take the L on the debt. All the sacrifices I made for prestige and money: working extremely hard for 1530 SAT, giving up social life, giving up a dream school atmosphere and experience all for fucking nothing, all absolutely out the fucking window. When anyone can get in like this what's the point in working so hard to pull yourself out of the herd? Any fucking dumbass can make it in here. I am fucking done with this place.

I'm going to be obsessed just to get post-graduate work so I can erase this embarrassment from my life.

If this was your "target" school and you made it in, congrats, but just to let you know as you have realized: you're not very ambitious and you settled for very little.

Title. I don’t agree with the guy. I vehemently disagree with his politics and think what he believes in is not right. But if you can’t agree that murdering him is wrong, you’re a vile human being.

Graduating senior here and I've seen student life before and after the pandemic. I'm using a throwaway account because I know I will get some flack for this. Context: I see a lot of students complaining about parking and podcasting, but in my OPINION it's mostly (not all) whining, and yes I think this is an after effect of the pandemic.

Parking: I see a lot of people complaining on here and IRL about parking: "I was circling the lot for 50 minutes trying to find parking", "9AM and no parking!", "Why are there no S spots but so many A and B spots?". Sure, I get that for most students this is still their first year actually being on campus. BUT it doesn't take more than 5 minutes of googling / searching previous posts on this subreddit to find out where you can park past 8AM once all the S spots in the structures are filled up (The solution for most of these complaints is to park at Lot P703, which always has open spots, and take the shuttle to campus)!!

Podcasting: There has also been a lot of complaints about professors not podcasting their classes, or uploading notes. This has always been a thing before the pandemic. Yes, I understand that these are different times, and that we are still transitioning out of the pandemic, but if you have a special extenuating circumstances that don't allow you to go to lecture there are ways to get accommodated. I am sure you can talk to your professors and work something out if you have some important obligation to miss lecture for. Being too lazy to wake up at 8AM is not a valid excuse to want a lecture podcasted, be responsible for your time. Also yeah, some people want to rewatch lecture to study, but what do you think people before the pandemic did when they didn't have podcast to study?

That's it, that's my rant. I feel like after almost 2 years of Zoom classes, many students have been too reliant on recorded lectures and uploaded course content and it irritates me how much whining and complaining there has been recently. I do not mean to come off as insensitive in my post, I understand that people might have actual reasons to miss lecture (prior commitments, disability, etc), but again I feel like many professors would be willing to give out individual accommodations for those cases. But for those people who just "can't wake up at 8AM", grow up.

Tata Consultancy is a massive, multinational corporation that does work to build digital infrastructure and to digitize retail in 47 countries.

There contract with Israel was to help digitize the Israeli Ministry of Finance, and it was made in April 23, it has less than nothing to do with the current situation in Israel and Gaza.

Saying that “Khosla loves genocide” because he is a shareholder in this company is not only absurd, it is vile defamation. Does anyone actually think that this kind of messaging is acceptable?

Yup

Edit: Y’all need to take some reading comprehension courses if you think I’m advocating for the harassment of this disgusting lady. Stop reaching, stop projecting. I don’t care if you’re a fan of hers. The energy put into this reddit throughout multiple posts is something I hope is seen when something happens to someone without the same platform as an old white person who seems to be able to gather a mass of kids to salute and push ideas of promiscuity as bad. I’m going to stop responding, you’re not listening anyways.

I would like to join if there is one.

After supporting the strike I have felt a little bit weird... I do not love that undergrads are having to pay the consequences such as by not being able to make it to their midterms due to blocked parking structures or being bullied "when crossing picket lines" when our professors literally are making us go to class through this.

Is anyone worried about tuition going up (even more) for students if they end up allocating more funds to researchers? I do not think that they should not be paid more, I actually support the strike. But UCs are not going to eat the cost. ITS A BUSINESS. and if us undergrads are supporting it, at least be nicer to us since we might end up paying more in the future by supporting this.

If you live in tapestry and face the Muir dorms please stop smoking. Your stuff hella stank and we can’t be putting up with it. Fr go somewhere else🙄. You’re wasting our time having to contact the RA and theirs for having to put up with people like you.

is anyone planning on protesting or doing any thing about this transphobic event? why is no one doing anything about this? im disappointed that the lgbtq and ally community hasn’t created some protest to get this shut down. we must make our voices heard. an injustice to one is an injustice to ALL

swarm of counter protesters in support of israel at giesel rn🤮

Hello everyone,

We're sure you have all seen posts and comments regarding AS that go beyond what is ordinary behavior for this community. Frankly, the behavior we've seen concerning AS has been some of the worst we've seen from any group, from students harassing other students directly, porn bot accounts purchased to send death threats, accusations of sexual assault, amongst other things. These are all things that r/UCSD and Reddit is not designed to cope with. However, we do understand there is an important balance to be struck in allowing students to express their opinions openly and freely, but there is no need for it to turn to harassment. As a result, we are instituting new policies temporarily regarding AS which will evolve with the situation.

The rule changes are as follows:

1. AS discussion is henceforth limited to the comments of this thread.

2. To post in this thread, your account must be at least 2 4 months old, have over 100 400 karma, have prior, non-AS activity on r/UCSD. These had to increase due to some purchased spambots being used already.

3. If your account does not meet those requirements, you must email ucsdmods[at]gmail.com from your UCSD email address with your username so that we can manually approve your account to post in this thread. Please send a message via modmail as well letting us know you emailed. This is purely to verify that the account is operated by a UCSD affiliate; your identity will be kept private.

4. If you would like to post something AS-related to the sub outside of this thread, you will need to email ucsdmods[at]gmail.com from your UCSD email address with your username, your affiliation with AS, and the contents of your post. Please send a message via modmail as well letting us know you emailed. We will exercise discretion on this, as this is intended more for UCSD news or event advertisement. This is not for fighting or arguing about AS politics outside of this thread.

5. Rule 2 will be strictly enforced in this thread. If you disagree with someone, you can explain why. If you insult them on a personal level, you may be banned.

6. Spamming this thread is not allowed.

These rules will be implemented via Automod filtering. Automod is very basic and makes false claims fairly often, so if you believe your post or comment has been removed in error, please use the Message the Mods link in the Automod removal message to send us a message and we'll get it reapproved. We are including multiple common keywords so apologies in advance for any false alarms.

We hope this whole exercise will be short-lived and thank you for bearing with us.

We now invited a racist rapist back into the white house.
As an international student I am scared and dont know what to think. I'm shaking that I will be sent back to my country and not be able to continue my education at ucsd. Is there anything we can do now???

Amid rising tuition fees, housing crises, and financial struggles faced by students and faculty, UC San Diego’s Chancellor has received a significant pay raise, sparking widespread concern and frustration across the campus community. Many feel that this raise is out of touch with the economic reality many UCSD members are facing.

In response, a petition has been launched urging the university to rescind the raise and instead allocate resources towards addressing urgent needs like student financial aid, housing, and staff support. The petition emphasizes the growing disparity between top administration and the wider UCSD community, calling for a more equitable distribution of university funds.

Let me know if you’d like any edits!

just walked past library walk and saw that the tritons for israel table has people w allied security jackets near them. crazy how this university protects zionists.

There seems to be quite a bit of misinformation regarding what took place yesterday.

Here is what took place: A student group reserved Library Walk per UCSD policies and were setting up for an event scheduled from 5pm-9pm. A person came up, started swearing at the students who were setting up and then escalated to doing damage by flipping over a few of the tables which resulted in items being damaged & broken. This person then ran away.

A report was filed with the UCSD Police. At some point, the university sent out the alert and used the image that was reported. This image was a screen shot from video that was taken by a witness who ran after the person who did the damage. Shortly after the alert was disseminated, a person(s) saw a person who matched the image that was shared and contacted UCSD Police. UCSD Police responded and it was determined that this was the same person from the alert and UCSD Police continued with their investigation.

The person did not “write in chalk on the walkway.”The person did not “tap some posters.” The person made the decision to act in a disorderly manner and disrupted the free speech and expression of fellow students and damaged their property. And then ran away to avoid being identified and facing the consequences of their disorderly conduct and vandalism.

Student groups who follow the rules and regulations of the university to hold an event to celebrate their culture, religion, or identity, should be free to do so without someone damaging their property.

I don’t know this person, I only know of their actions on Library Walk yesterday afternoon. If they are charged with a crime, they are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. If they face the Student Conduct Process, they have a right to due process there as well.

Yes, I just created this account tonight. I am concerned with someone doxxing me if I use my normal account.

I’ve seen the same users either zealously defending professor Ternasky or manslplaining why we, the Latine community, shouldn’t be offended by his comments. It amazes me how much time you take out of your day to convince yourself that he did nothing wrong, and on that same note, convince yourself that your defense of his actions are not equally admonishable.

We shouldn’t have to repeatedly explain to you why his behavior is unacceptable only for you to throw it back in our faces with explanations of why YOU think we shouldn’t be angry. To him, it was a joke, one that he will face no consequences for. But to us, it’s a reminder that it is socially acceptable for others to laugh at our culture, always at our expense. Jokes made by the oppressor to target marginalized groups are never funny. Never. I shouldn’t have to explain why, we are all adults that should learn to exercise at least an ounce of sympathy.

And to those of you in the Latine community who thought his comments were actually funny, I hope the bottom of a white man’s boot tastes good to you.

Who ever is in charge of this garbage lineup…just why? Why not get some more well known artists including more hip hop and edm artists to make this event much more fun. Stop allocating all our money towards security and stop choosing the most obscure artists

College kids need to stop jaywalking carelessly, not looking both ways when crossing the streets, especially near Sixth Market and Peterson Loop. There are so many countless times when I almost accidentally run over pedestrians because of them simply not remembering how to look left, then right, then left again, which I thought their parents taught them when they were 5. I guess not?

As an international student, it is clear to me now that the US is clearly an unsafe country. My own personal experiences coupled with the recent posts on this subreddit have convinced me to purchase a knife for self-defense. Before I do this, I just want to make sure if bringing a knife on campus is even allowed?
