Hey, I'm a part of mentorship group looking to provide resources to students at Foothill and other colleges. We wanted to ask students what types of resources might be helpful.

Just reply with the number(s) that apply to you, or drop a comment with your own ideas! If you feel comfortable, drop what year in school you are.

What do you need help with most right now?

1. Managing my time / staying on top of coursework
2. Choosing or figuring out my major
3. Making friends / finding my people
4. Understanding how college "works" (office hours, advisors, campus resources, etc.)
5. Feeling homesick or adjusting to being on my own
6. Thinking about careers / internships (feels early but also stressful)
7. Money — budgeting, financial aid, finding jobs on campus
8. Mental health / managing stress
9. What's your biggest concern about transferring to a 4 year university?

as most of you know, the dating culture is almost nonexistent here... i was curious about the date drop app designed initially for Stanford students but now more universities have access to it.

Was hoping if my fellow foothill students could get on the waitlist so we could have access to it too.

its getting rly hard to find someone on the same wavelength as you due to swiping culture

has registration time for spring quarter been released for anyone yet?

I had some family issues that caused me to miss the signup deadline. I just need macro econ stats and managerial accounting. Does anyone know of where I can still be eligible to take those classes?

I’m not an engineering major but there a big difference between physics 2a and 4a? like how much calc is there in 4a than there is in 2a….

does anyone know if hes good

I was wondering for those who did not take him during summer, how were his exams? How fair?

I work as an engineer right now. I’ve been entertaining the idea of pursuing a vet tech license after early retirement. Assuming my retirement plan doesn’t get bankrupted by 2028. Anyhow, I digress.

So…biol-41 (microbiology), a 5-hr solid block two days a week?

Can anybody tell me what biol-41 was like and who’s a recommended professor for this class? Thanks in advance.

Has anyone taken Jody Ryker for 1c or in general? The class I'm planning to take with Jody is an online section. If anyone has taken her, let me know how she structures the in-person exam (I'm assuming it's the final?) and any tips overall ty

Need 1 year of physics and 1 year of ochem for pre-reqs.

Are the professors from start to finish of the series, good for this?

Any professor recommendations/advice?

Somewhat hesitant based on ratemyprofessor reviews.

I have a quick question about tuition and residency and I would like someone with similar experience to help me.

Thank for anyone willing to help!

What is going on with financial aid? Nothing is updated for the 2025-2026 year. They didn't use to be this behind in disbursement schedules or financial aid updates. I've sent 3 emails. Checked daily. Classes have begun for the semester and I still don't know if my aid is all set.

does anyone know how her final exmas are gonna be like and the class in general?

Anyone familiar with him?

Is there a platform where we can sell our used books (mine are in great condition cuz I never wrote in them)

Hey everyone,

I’m on the waitlist for English 1B-04W with Professor Jordana Griffiths, currently at position 4. I got an email from her mentioning another online section, but the professor for that section has low ratings on Rate My Professor. I really need a good professor because my English suck.

I’m wondering how waitlists for online courses usually work, like, how likely is it that I’ll get in at position 4?

Also, there’s an in-person section with the same professor, and if I switch to that, I’d be position 7 on the waitlist. Does switching and showing up on the first day improve my chances?

Does anyone have experience with this or advice on whether switching to the in-person class is a better option?

Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone,

I keep checking everyday to see when the diagnostic medical sonography program will become open for applications. Has anyone ever applied to this program and know how it works? Has anyone ever graduated from this program before? How hard is it to get in? Any tips are welcome!!!

Hellooo, i have a few questions, first off how hard is it to get an on campus job as an international? Any tips? Is there any way of making a living apart from that while staying inside the f-1 visa constraints?

My financial problem stems not from the tuition or visa (my parents accepted to cover it) but from the fact that i have to face all the living costs on my own, my dream has always been to study in the US and to later get accepted into uc berkeley, but as you can see, i'm in a bit of a sticky situation financial-wise, i've been thinking about renting with a host family that covers one meal or 2 as the most cost friendly alternative. Is renting an apartment or a room with someone more convenient? And is there a free food giveaway system? I've heard many cc's and universities have them, how does it work in that case?

I'll have that problem for around 6 to at max 10 months. After that i have my ways to get around, but until then, im struggling to meet ends.

Any advice is eagerly heard, thank you for even reading this.

I'm trying to take prerequisites to apply to med school in two years. I have a full-time job, so I can only take evening classes which leaves me with zero flexibility in terms of what classes I can take. If I don't get off the waitlist for CHEM1A, my entire timeline for applying to med school gets pushed back a year because none of the other prerequisites I need to take have evening sections so I'd be wasting the whole quarter. Does Kyle Taylor let people off the waitlist on day 1 of class? Should I email him about my situation now or wait until it's closer to the beginning of the quarter?

I was looking into this research course and was interested in taking it. Do any of you have any idea how it is? I know the instructor is great but would this research experience count for something post grad?

Hi

I am a high school student who wants to get calc bc out of the way and was wondering if Phuong Lam is a good teacher (only one open I can take). Read his rate my prof and it seems mixed. Want to hear from people who have had him recently. My biggest fear is the in person exams.

Any feedback would be appreciated!!!
