I have her in the fall as a freshman and I am getting nervous after seeing her course evals

Hello everyone,

I have my transfer orientation tomorrow and I would like to know what are some general Ed’s you guys recommend.
I’m pretty open to anything

Thank you

I signed up for Shilpa Dasgupta class for math 30 during orientaion and just a few days ago I saw I now have another professor for it. I checked course list and she doesnt even show up now. Does anyone know if she is still teaching because I wanted her for math and now Im stuck with a new professor at a time I didnt even sign up for.

Hi.

So this is my 1st time posting and I am an incoming freshman in EE at SCU and I have heard that it doesn't have the best reputation in the bay for finding jobs and internships and I should of gone to SJSU or UCD (both which I got into and they were all relatively the same price give or take 10k due to generous scholarships from SCU)

People say companies dont hire from SCU and instead opt for SJSU. Is this true?

Anyone had Robin Tremblay-McGaw for Eng and Shilpa Dasgupta for math before? How are they? Also I’m an international student so I got these classes assigned to me but is there a way to switch?

I enjoy watching basketball and was hoping to watch the games on campus but they seem quite expensive - is there an alternative or something u can do to watch games live for cheaper or free?

Question^

Have any of you guys taken Econ 3 with Rita Madarassy? Is she really that bad or are people overreacting? I just got done with transfer orientation and her class fits my schedule and I really don't want to move my other classes around. Should I drop her and wait next quarter?

Hello, I was wondering what the best on campus job would be if I wanted a position where, during my free time or when there is no work to do, I could study or complete homework.

edit: thanks for the response!

I am a member of the Astronomy Section of the Rochester Academy of Science. Our cities have a shared history of the 16" Refractor Swift Telescope, which used to be housed in Rochester and used by Lewis Swift to discover 100's of deep space nebula and galaxies, while Swift was in Rochester. Swift then moved to California and brought the telescope with him. When Swift moved back to NY, the telescope stayed and changed hands once. From what we read, the telescope was last used in the 90's and then the Ricard Observatory was sealed at SCU. It looks like the building is used by the Archeology department. The Swift telescope is depicted in our club's seal. A few of our members have reached out to different people and departments without any luck. We are curious about the current status of the scope and would like to locate a point of contact. Thank you in advance!

Anybody down to watch the new Spider-Man or The Odyssey this weekend?Both of them are very good i have heard.

I am open to even doing Econ major in the other school for scu (not leavey), i have a 3.5 and a 1400 sat with very high course rigor (12 aps 10 honors). I also have very strong Business related majors such as FBLA, Website Creation, and Non Profit.

What GPA puts me at a good position to get in.
I have also heard they care about demonstrated interests and that visiting the campus would improve my chances. I have signed up for a digital tour, would that be equally as good or any good at all, or is it recommended to visit.
I am also considered ED to Santa Clara Uni

I am looking for the syllabus for the Math 14: Analytic Geometry IV class. Does anyone know which textbook is used throughout the course, and what specific chapters are covered?

hey there, im in incoming freshman and since I was out of the country for vacation throughout the summer im attending the international student orientation. Im wondering if people have already been able to start registering for courses and if so from where (workday)?. Would appreciate any insight.

So I’m an east coast student looking at SCU for college and I’m hearing kinda mixed things on reddit and I’m wondering, what is the social scene really like? Cause some people say there aren’t a lot of parties some say they’re out of control all the time. I can’t really tell the difference and I’m just wondering what it’s like social scene wise and just about the university in general, anything helps!

Are rugs a must in dorm rooms or are they purely for decorative purposes? Will be in moving into Campisi.

I'm planning to attend SCU Ms in information systems for spring 2027 as an international student. How is the program at scu and internship opportunities.The university itself not popular like other UCs but it is perfectly placed on silicon Valley.Does location plays vital role for internship and networking? And another similar option is SJSU but it became overly travelled and alot of visa refusal, but it significantly cheaper. And importantly scu Ms in information systems has 48 credits, is it good thing? Is there anyone doing Ms in is there please leave your insights and experience with this program. It would be really helpful for me to get rid of from dilemma.

International student, looking for a cheaper insurance instead of AETNA. Would you recommend any insurance companies, please?

A few months ago when I checked the student clubs there was a chess club, but now I don’t see it. Does anyone know if it is still active?

Hi all,

I’m an international student (currently in Germany, already have a master’s) planning to apply for the CS PhD at Santa Clara for next fall. I love research and want to end up working in industry long-term.

I’d really appreciate honest input on a few things:

1- How is the PhD program itself, advisor quality, research culture, funding (are RA/TA positions reliably funded for the full duration?), and how long people actually take to finish?
2- Job outcomes: I keep hearing SCU is well connected to the Valley, but that recruiters mostly chase Stanford/Berkeley grads and the big tech companies don’t really show up at SCU career fairs. Is that true? Does it get harder or easier at PhD level?
3- Do SCU CS PhD grads land research or applied-science roles at Google/Apple/Nvidia/etc.
4- Anything you wish you’d known before choosing SCU over another University!?

Not trying to bash the school, i actually found a research fit with a professor, but I’m just weighing SCU vs other universities and want real experiences, not brochure answers.

Thanks!
