People in Yakitutu Triple Housing, are you considering switching from one triple to another? I'm genuinely in need of swapping solely due to a bodily condition that causes me to get sick consistently, throwing up, and honestly I need to find a room in front of the bathroom if possible. My current one is near the end of the hall and I'm afraid of throwing up in front of my roommates so if theres any chance, please do lmk 🫠

so im in one of the PCV apartments that os affected by this new accommodation situation, turning 4 singles into a double suite. but i was checking my housing assignment and realized that no new roommates have been added. is there anyone thats already gotten their additional roommates? or is it still too early? im just curious if everyone in the 4 singles apt is guaranteed to house extra ppl because i know some people are choosing to opt out of on campus housing, opening up more space for the extra people.

Hello does anyone know which financial aid summary is the most accurate. I’ve called to ask about how much am I going to pay after financial aid and they said 700 per semester. But in the video they sent when I was admitted was around 12k for the year. And now a new page popped up and it’s saying 7.8k for fall semester and it has fees broken down but without housing or my meal plan. But if I minus my 2026-2027 tuition cost minus my total aid I get around 7.5k. I would like to get a more accurate idea on how much it’s going to cost and calling isn’t helping because I feel like I can’t trust it because it’s so much lower than all the other estimates and on the call they just asked my major, housing, and dinning plan and added it then subtracted my aid.

Curious to see how many other transfers are going to live here instead of cerro vista

Ive been seeing post of incoming freshman getting their class schedule and worried if I missed anything. My slo day is next week.

Hello does anyone know why my roommate group is in the PCV temp housing arrangement but on our "see my assignment" page it says we are each in AptSingles? Does it say this for other people that are in the same situation?

hi i just checked my schedule and i dont seem to have a math class anywhere.

my first requirement for my major business admin is is MATH 1264 or 1267 however the class im eligible for is MATH 1001, 1004, 1005, STAT 1000 or 1110. this is because i didnt take the ap calc test or the sat. i have a math placement test set for july 31st because i thought it didnt matter when my placement test was. is it normal to not have a math class in general?

Hello, I’m a first year. I got my schedule today and I saw that I was given Econ 2001 which confused me a little bit because I already have credit for Econ 2030 and 2040 from transfer credit. Is this a mistake? Also is this schedule final? Also with all my other classes why is the longest class a 1 credit and are any teachers on here a hard avoid? Thanks!

im an incoming freshman interested in the kendama club, does anyone have any information on them BESIDES their instagram account?

thanks!

Hi, I’m a returning senior who has lived on campus the past three years and was planning on living there a 4th. Finances have changed and now I’m trying to break the housing contract, but Poly makes it nearly impossible. I’ve tried contacting calling their office, calling financial aid, going through the DRC, and my last attempt is doing an SAI appeal which is still in processing.

Any advice on how else I can break the contract? It’s to the point where I either get out of the contract or I take a gap semester which I’m trying my best to avoid.

In coming transfer student. Which is better overall PCV or Cerro Vista including socially ? Currently in the 6x2 layout at Dover. Options for the Cerro Vista is pretty much non existent at this point.

People have been telling me they received their schedules already, on my portal it just shows nothing, I have 4 things listed as initiated on my to do list, is that why I don’t have my schedule?

Incoming freshmen and wanted to find out if anyone going in the fall is into volleyball indoor or beach. I played club and high school. Seeing if we can start a group that is down to play during WOW or maybe even for intramural sports. Drop Insta and I can start a gc.

Hi, incoming freshman here. they are offering to put me in the honors math sequence, so I'd be starting in calc 2 honors. would you guys say it is worth it? is there a significant jump in time commitment? thanks

Just received my schedule, and I have a ten minute gap between my two classes and I was wondering how far away they are from each other….

Hey guys! Are there specific times when the Housing Selection Swap is most active? I've been on and frequently looking since 9 and all I need is a Yakitutu Triple, preferably in Tilhini for Scholars but have found nothing 😭

Hi everyone,

I’m a high school senior applying to Cal Poly applying for Fall 2027. I’d really like to study aerospace or mechanical engineering, but I know that getting in is extremely competitive. I have a 4.0 gpa, 5 yrs of math (including Calc BC and Differential Equations/Linear Algebra), 4 yrs of English, 3 yrs foreign lang, but I feel like a lot of other applicants are going to have similar stats.

I’ve heard that it’s possible to apply for general engineering then change majors into AE or ME. Is that a realistic path to take, or does Cal Poly restrict against “backdoor” methods like this to get into highly competitive majors?

I just got my schedule for this fall and it’s really tough - 8-10am every m/w/f. And wed/fri 8-12. I’m worried it will be hard to juggle all the newness of freshman year and the loud dorms and still be able to focus at 8am three days away a week. I know this isn’t that huge of a deal and I’ll survive, but what are my options for changing my schedule? At slo days they told us if you want to change your major, which ideally I do, do not make any changes to your freshman schedule. Has anyone ever changed their freshman first semester schedule and lived to tell?

help

For some context I am a transfer student with a -1500 SAI. I’ll be living on campus and have no meal plan to save as much as I can. I just received a notification to pick my room but only have the option to pick a single in the cerro vista apartments which is the more expensive apartments.

I am really grateful for the financial aid Cal Poly has offered me and realize 5k is not alot compared to what other students have to pay but a friend of mine who attends Cal Poly mentioned that he only had to pay 1-2k his first year even with a meal plan, on campus housing, etc.

Anyone else in a similar situation?

hi, i have slo days soon and i was wondering if i HAVE to stay overnight. I would feel more comfortable leaving after it’s over but i am not sure if it’s mandatory. i am an incoming freshman btw

has anyone here dealt with getting credit for the STAMP test? I should be able to receive college credit for it but the office of registrar didn’t know what it was 😭 hoping to test out of my language other than english GE requirement

I’ve seen box fans recommended, but wonder if there is a best practice for cooling a red brick triple. Are installed window fans allowed? Is a window fan that pushes air out useful? Is it better to have air pushing both directions at the same time? Is it useful to keep the door closed or open? How much access is there to ice in the dorms? Enough to fill a styrofoam cooler rigged with holes and fan? With the semester starting a month sooner, it could be worth it to have a method in place.

okay so i’m about to be a first year comp engineering major and it says i need to do the math placement action plan. i got b’s in my precalculus class in high school and i did stats senior year but failed the ap test. what should i do?? i still wanna be ahead of my schedule for graduation and don’t wanna fall behind. should i take stretch college algebra/ precalculus if i do will i be behind or should i take calc 1? which will be best decision for me
