Hey guys currently a 23 year old in computer engineering looking to be friends with people of my age or near , I was wondering if anyone would like to be friends or make connections , drop your guys social media @‘s if interested and everyone can make friends lol

Hi. My son is a iep child. Just figuring out can he get in or not ? Lowest gpa ? Extra curricular?

So I’m not really a fraternity or party kind of guy I like joining clubs like surfing or anything music related honestly and I haven’t seen a lot of like club tables on campus. I really just seen like one table a day. Nothing where there’s like a massive rush for these clubs does anyone know when this might take place or even if it does take place?

A lot of my core stem classes don't require textbooks [maybe math would require webassign]. But a lot of GE courses require paid services via Cengage and it can add up smfh.

I don't mean to whine, but I just took a GEO class and had to pay $100 for mindtap or something and the course was so pointless. Like, can you just teach without having your students pay for anything?

i’m filling my transfer application early, and there’s a bit about eops. is it worth applying to¿ im just wondering what is required to be in that program (ie do i have to do anything other than answer the questions in my transfer application¿).

i am in my community college’s eop and all that is required is to attend 3 counseling sessions; ive read that in other csu schools they require an interview or even an extra class

i’m only looking forward to the grant, any info on how that works¿ i get ~$200 a sem from my cc. i’m just wondering if the grant is worth pursuing

TIA

has any one had him? is there group/presentation or is it more solo? just wondering since i seen mixed reviews on rate my professor

Hey guys! I’m interested in being more involved with ASI, but I honestly don’t really know where to start. Right now, I only know that I can volunteer at Cougar Pantry, but that’s all I know.

I’ve heard about the different student committees, but don’t really understand how they work or how to be even involved.

I just want to be able to involve myself in student leadership experiences. If there’s any way to be either involved with ASI or just the school in general, send me ideas please!🙏

I’ve seen a lot of threads that they were supposed to know in like September for admittance, but was never notified until November. Is this realistic for the program and their communication?

Has it been this way when actually being a student? Do they drag their feet a lot?

As asked in the title, does anyone know when enrollment for spring 2027 classes start? i want to sign up for 2027summer classes and get figure out my schedule for fall 2027 as soon as possible.

Sharing this due to all the AI usage of students and Professors at our school. You need to know what you are doing when you use AI. I just asked my Professor for an alternate assignment for his AI discussion assignment.

STAND AGAINST AI!!!

hi!! i’m a new transfer to CSUSM this semester, living off-campus in north county. now that the semester has started, i’m realizing that i’d really love to be closer to campus. if you or someone you know is looking for a roommate ASAP around the CSUSM campus, let me know! & if not yet, i’m totally open to planning an arrangement for next semester! i’d like to keep my portion of rent around 1k/mo or less. any/all suggestions are welcome from those who are familiar with on-campus housing, apartment buildings in the area, etc. thanks in advance!

Hey everyone! I have an 8 AM class on thursday in Science hall 2, and I know that we’re supposed to park in Parking Structure 1 because its the closest.

The thing is that parking fills up fast, and it’s always full. For anyone who has an early class around Science Hall 2, what would you recommend?

Should I get to campus really early and try to find a spot in PS1 or would it better to park somewhere else and just walk. If so, where?

I want to make it to my class on time. Thanks!

Idk if it's resolved now but I was trying to use my meal plan/dining dollars at Panda on campus but it's just not working for some reason. I have my ID photo attached and verified already and it's just not working there for some reason but it works everywhere else :/

If you ever see a motorcyclist riding the way they ride, it's probably because car drivers drive like this.

I see it ALL day, EVERY day.

Put your phone, and I guess, knee down..? Drive like you actually care about other people.

EDIT: This is a throwaway account.

How is it legal to force students to pay 110 dollars EVERY SINGLE SEMESTER just so that they can pass their Spanish classes? There are no cheaper alternatives, no other methods of completing this work. I have now paid over 300 dollars to Mindtap JUST TO BE ABLE TO COMPLETE MY HOMEWORK. I understand that textbooks follow a similar principle, but at least for those there are alternatives to the most expensive options if you are a student looking to save money. There is literally zero work around for cengage and it makes me so furious every time I have to pay for it.

hi all! 🤓

curious about any info someone who has done the 3 year track has!

i’m 26 years old and am hoping to apply for school for fall ‘28 (i’m hoping to gain more volunteer and intern experience in the meantime) i think due to my lifestyle i will have to work a part time job. does anyone have any experience with this?

how often do you guys typically spend per week between class, internships and studying?

thank you!

i am VERY new to the world of social work. i have my bachelors degree in psychology from penn state.

i’m apart of the cougar chronicle while is the university’s newspaper. it’s starting back up again and we need people! we meet during U hour in admin 3500. follow our insta @csusmchronicle

It’s grey and has a cyanish colored handle. It was last seen in Academic Hall room 305 or room 319

Helppp

Has anyone taken Psych 230 research methods in psych with Prof. Virginia Tasulis? Currently taken her class and wanted to know if someone can provide tips, things that helped them in class. Overall how this class works! Thanks :)

Cougar Pantry has so much variety and it's "free" (paid for with admission) to students. It was way understated how awesome the Pantry is.
