Starting university tomorrow at UCSC. I'm a Computer Science major. What should I expect? I've already been asked what gender pronoun I go by during the first 10 minutes of orientation. What's your advice for college, Cred Forums?

Sophomore at UCLA

Keep your head down. In the meantime, go out at night and put Trump stickers on the faculty's cars.

Also CS for whatever reason attracts a lot of liberals. It's not nearly as lib-free as posters here would have you believe.

>Keep your head down.
That's not what men do.

therightstuff.biz/2015/09/14/surviving-academia-ii-the-empire-strikes-back/

try not to get triggered too much lad, ucsc is brutal

t.sfsu student

t. beta TRP faggot

Don't blame me. You're the one who kept his head down. I calls it how I sees it babydoll.

You'll see a bunch of retards taking intro courses for CS, once you get to the higher level courses the entire demographic changes.

Keep your head down, prepare to watch females struggle with programming.

Im a senior here at UCSC and just wanted to tell you that you comp sci/eng fags are the biggest group of autists on campus. Also they dropped ABET from their program HAHA

Your insecurity is showing. Did you even go to college?

Get ready for a weird as fuck campus full of avowed communists, radical feminists, tons of semi homeless vagrants that don't even go to school but somehow live on campus, some of the worst and most widespread drug use and abuse out of any school in the country and a town surrounding it that has been perpetually stoned since 1960 and is OBSESSED with beach bum surf culture. Everyone thinks they're hot shit when really they're all faggots living off of either their parent's or the government's money. Fuck that place. Good mushrooms though.

I am God.

Believe me I saw this blonde bimbo not understand the most basic shit in AP Comp Sci

Holy shit! I grew up there and never have I seen a more accurate description than this.

This is 100% an accurate summation of UCSC user. Do yourself a favor and hide your red pilled antics at first to gauge your peers. Then cut out the weirdos as necessary. Have fun bud!

It's all true. The school doesn't even have a damn football team and more than half the people I encountered were in some stage of a drug trip. Fully half of my buddy's floor mates wound up either in prison or in a mental hospital before the end of quarter 2. Shits fucked. The town proper is even worse, it's horribly planned and the town layout makes no fucking sense whatsoever. The school is on High street for fuck's sake. This is coming from someone who has fucked around with hallucinogens a fair bit in my time and even I was thoroughly skeeved out by the general vibe of the place.

Anyone hear about that one faggot that drugged this one dude at a party and raped him? OP, watch yourself. Drugs show up in your morning brew if you hang with the wrong(or right) crew

This is exactly what I got out of my experience of living there for my sophomore summer.
It's worse than fucking Cal or UCLA combined.

>or

*and
Sorry I'm drunk. I have to take tumblr class and I'm already freaking out, the booze helps me cope.

>I've already been asked what gender pronoun I go by during the first 10 minutes of orientation.

Quality American education :^)

UCLA is easily the least bad UC except maybe San Diego

Was her name, 'Hope' by any chance?

Who /CentralCoast/ here?

No one gives a shit at UCSD. I should have chosen it over UCLA.

If you're referring to UCLA Northridge it's totally fucked, off the charts rape rates and Mexican gangbangers everywhere. My stubborn as fuck roommate we t there and even he hated it. That place ain't all it's cracked up to be.

Fug guise I'm trying to transfer into UCSC as a CS major from Cabrillo. Am I fucked?

UCSC fag is that you? Are you the guy i added on steam a couple nights ago?

This is true. I have a friend who went to UCSC. in fact, his experience almost completely threw me off from any desire to go to the bay, in general. People in that city are constantly on drugs, specifically psychedelics. My friend even had to take a semester off because he started experiencing hppd. his buddies, as well. dude couldn't drive without feeling like he was watching the city being built right in front of him for about a couple months. Real creepy shit.

I don't like drugs, so I have avoided going to visit him. He understands, but I'm also curious to know if the bay is like santa cruz, or if it's an extreme outlier

831 best coast reporting.

live in porter. the transfer community was fucken fun

Shit like that happens on the reg down there. Buddy of mine got his ass touched on a bus, and last quarter some surfer fag pulled a pistol on some other surf fag who burned him in a drug deal. Don't get involved in the drug culture any more deeply than experimenting from time to time. Be very careful who you hang out with.

Go see a The Devil Makes Three at the Catalyst, they put on a good show.

Also, it has billiards upstairs and a bar you are allowed to smoke in. Probably the last smoking bar in California.

>UCLA Northridge
what?

You can smoke in the Asti, The Rush, and the Jury Room.
t. Smoker who lives in Santa Cruz

I'll have to check it out! Thanks!

where you at nigga? im off of bay

The Bay Area is a lot more toned down that SC. Lots of potheads but the intense stuff is kept under wraps due to it being serious yuppie territory and the fact that all those new money coke heads have no patience for street bum acid trippers. There's a lot more going on culturally in the Bay and the cities generally follow a layout that makes sense. Marin county still remains one of the most beautiful places in the world. Visit the Marin headlands, specifically the bunkers. You will not regret it.

I'd quite honestly take the social justice warriors over the druggie creeps trying to drug you and rape your lifeless body. My buddy said that shit is pervasive in the SC area. Kinda sad how he acted like it was no big thing. add to the fact that they've probably got the largest bug chasing population in the state. No bueno. fuck all that

Off Ocean Street near the Courthouse. How's it hanging?

np man. I transferred to UCSC couple years ago. Lived in the porter transfer community that first year. Was a really great experience.

I'll be on for a little while longer, free to hmu with questions

keep your head down and your mouth shut. you cannot, nor should you, attempt to win an emotional argument.

Here are some serious tips that i picked up in my faggot-campus which you can use to your advantage.

1. Instead of hating assignments, lectures or group projects which touch on PC shit (and the amount will surprise you, no matter what your degree), REVEL in these opportunities. they are easy marks. When peoples judgement is clouded by irrationality, use it against them to get easy, stress-free high grades by talking the talk. I do this all the time and I love it, despite having hated it at first.
2. remember that not everyone believes the PC trash, theyre just going along with it to get good grades and avoid trouble. In fact, a good 30% of your peers will be thinking exactly what youre thinking.
3. Dont take anything personally. When a retard talks about white males, jump right in next to her and get on board. You have nothing to gain "fighting the good fight" when your grades are on the line.
4. Identify yourself by a victim status. Say you're Jewish or that you have anxiety, whatever it is. Say youre gay or Bi or genderfluid. Never be "straight white male", you need a "grievance"
5. Remember why youre there. You arent there to convert idiots to your way of thinking, what would be the point. The real world will smack them in the face in a few years, for now just learn to blend in and speak their language. see how far you can push it, have fun with it. never reveal your power level, our secrecy is our greatest weapon because our sheer numbers take these buttheads by surprise on election days.
6. Figure out what your professors are into. Mostly teachers aides will grade your assignments, but always try to inject a reference here or there which is something your professor has a personal interest in. Is your professor a naggy hag who drones on about feminism? Great! put that in your assignment. Again, use their clouded judgement against them.

I'm dumb as shit, it's CSU Northridge. Disregard that part of the post

lol UCLA when younger and wtf is this shit ?


UCLA northridge ?

chillin. Classes start back up on Wednesday. Just heard some coyotes rn lmao.

You just livin in the area?

it literally is what men do. men dont complain like faggots, they ignore retards and achieve their mission. this user's mission is to pass college. deviating from that in any way is what a chick would do

Yeah Salinas Valley 831

What made campus fun for you? I'm afraid that if I transfer in I won't know anyone and I'll just lock myself in my room. I've heard to stay away from Meril but that's all I know about the different Colleges haha.

I was a Boulder Cretin for years.
I love Santa Cruz, tbqh familia. Not all the hippies are scum, some run businesses.

What nobody here has mentioned is all the serial killers and Satanists that come out of the Santa Cruz mountains.

My cousin ran away from home as a teenager back in the 80s, to avoid a severe beating from taking his car out before he had a license and getting it impounded.

He survived by selling acid on the streets, and he told me stories of bones and weird shit in the woods, and pagan sacrifice shit going on. He said that at night sometimes you'd see freaks dressed up wearing swords, and the homeless kids would flee in fear for their lives. As if they feared being kidnapped and ritually abused.

Computer science major at SFSU here. We've been in school for almost a month and I can assure you it'll be 100% cancer. The worst is the leftist propaganda that the professors spew in GE classes. If there's some sort of college republicans club, I strongly recommend joining it, since almost all of the people i've met so far that I can get along are part of the club as well.

one last one:

invest the time in finding out who shares your beliefs and make friends with them. do not reveal your level of power, do it carefully. College isnt about the degree at the end, its about networking. People you meet are powerful allies later in life, remember that its not WHAT you know its WHO you know. that is true now more than ever.

youre lucky youre going to computer science and not humanities, m8. there are always plenty of weirdos and channers in those IT departments, but just tread lightly. form good networks and only ever discuss these matters in private. your college friends will become the best friends in your life, so make the most of it. network. It is a chance to rub shoulders with a whole bunch of people who are going to, or already are, in the same industry. dont waste it wanking in your dorm and eating ramen like a faggot. you have to socialise, bro. cant stress that enough

Yeah. I'm going to Cabrillo now, hopefully I'll be transferring in a year. What are you taking this year?

Seriously, I'm thinking about going to berkeley's haas school for business for my undergrad. The campus is pozzed, yes, but there business school is really fucking good, and heaps cheaper than say a stanford. the drugs are literally the only thing that bothers me. weird, I know, but I've got a medical condition where any sorta drug contact will fundamentally fuck up my mental structure. I hate saying this cause I sound like a tumblr fag, but because of this, I have to go to campus admin and tell them about my gay ass condishun and they register me under the psych assistance shit. fucking embarassing. Like I said, I prefer social justice to druggies cause sjw's annoy. burnouts are just straight sketch

Lol you don't need to tell me familia. I've been here all my life. I know about the Ghost Mountain Riders and the witches up in the Mountains.
Santa cruz area used to be one of the leading recruiting centers for the kkk a long time ago. Lol from Felton up past Boulder creek you see some freaky shit.

basically the porter transfer dorm is a big 6 story dorm building that is 99% students who also transferred in. The kicker? Most of us are of drinking age already , and if youre not we just hide you when the RAs come knocking.

Every weekend people were partying, I made some life long friends there.

I thought it was going to be hard to make friends, as well. You have to put in the effort definitely. But people are super friendly, cause remember, they're probably nervous just like you.

You leave your door open, and you get to know the people on your floor. You might not even click with the people on your floor and end up hanging out with the people from another floor!

Holy fucking shit, why are there so many fags from Santa Cruz on Cred Forums?

Honestly, this town is fucking SHIT. It's expensive as fuck to live here, there isn't shit to do but stare at the ocean on niddle-ridden beaches. Downtown smells like fucking PISS, and it's 90% homeless people. The boardwalk is fun for half an hour and then you realize the surrounding area has more wannabe gangbanger beaners than Salinas.

To top it all off its the default political setting here is feminist, liberal, pro-BLM, Bernie Sanders cuck. Its a hell for any moderate, let alone conservative.

Could you tell more please, I'm leaving Bay Area soon and this interests me

rather not say specifics :p. I'm finishing up my Cognitive Science degree tho

But the waves are so niiiiiice

This.

The SJWs are the druggies bud. Just don't take drugs yourself if you know you can't handle them. The other people you're surrounded by are irrelevant. That being said Berkeley is another leftist stronghold, real deal commie territory. The difference between Berkeley commies and SC commies is huge though, the former will engage in a polite informed debate with you, the latter will beat you brains in with emotional arguments and demand empirical evidence at the same time all while frying face on 6 hits of blotter. Shits pretty crazy.

Reposting my summer experience at UCLA.


>get accepted into UCLA as a History major (Yes I know meme major and future unemployment)
>take summer courses to get ready for the Fall
>love my History of Colonial Indians of Mexico (Quiche Mayan here)
>professor loves me for being indigenous LOL
>also taking Chicano Studies Contemporary Bullshit
>it's literally SJW Marxist Brainwashing the Class

>they immediately reprimand her and warn her to never again try to tell an Indian that he cannot call himself by his given identification

Tldr; sorry OP only nonwhites can troll these fucktards
Good luck.

its easy to ignore people m8

I thought of another idea.

During the first couple weekends people are going to get pretty drunk. Drinking always helped me make friends, funny enough. Maybe it will help you too? Not getting trashed, but enough to let your guard down

You'll realistically not have a choice between top undergrad business schools, just saying. I wish the best of luck to you though.

Honestly, unless someone is an avid surfer or some shit, there is absolutely no reason to live here. There are plenty of places equally as pretty with better shopping, restaurants, less homeless, druggie hippies, for the same price of living, if not less

What dorm are you in this year?

Hey thanks a lot man! I was low key really worried about campus life but it sounds pretty cool, I'm 21 so it's nice knowing I won't be an old man on campus haha

probably should be more worried about the useless major desu

Santa Cruz: Awesome for homeless junkies, expensive for the rest of us.

No sweat! I hope classes go well for you!

happy to help. The campus is primarily feminist, but you'll quickly realize a large number of people there dont care about that shit

thanks m8! Check out porter when you transfer!

I'm commuting because I can't stand Westwood.

Maybe I'm really tired(probably) but I don't understand your comment, kek. explain?

replace not with dont

My family rode under the colors Red & White, my uncle was at Altamont and used to party up on Skyline with the freaks.

I miss that whole rode from Bear Creek, up Summit to Skyline. I took our roads for granted until I moved out of state.

The rest of the country is mostly underwhelming, user, stay put.

What year? Do you know Roii?

Great points. I'll remember to do this when I get up there. I'm not too worried about the feminists / activists unless they're blocking off the fishhook again. Again, thanks for the advice man!

Junior.
No, why? Is he someone I should know?

do people raise their childre in santa cruz? kek, I always thought it was a pit stop for the fucking burnouts

Damn dude, maybe you can arrange a meetup and all blow each other! Sounds great! After classes on Science Hill maybe I'll swing by the ol' porter peasant dorms and join in the poz sesh!

All jokes aside, UCSC is becoming even tougher to get in to and if you come here, you'll love it if you can just ignore/laugh at the SJWs

Ay. Boulder/felton fags.

Whats the deal with that fucken lockheed martin facility at the end of Empire

Wear your MAGA hat and see where that gets you.

It got my driver side window smashed out and death threats slid under my door. Can't win if you can't operate. Stay cool, and drop minor redpills over time

Nah just a history grad student I know

Maybe I'll bump into you sometime

still not computing. are you saying that I won't make it in to these schools or that I can't avoid sjws and baseheads?

if you swing that way, sure. There we a few gay dudes at porter

More the merrier! ;^)

wasnt me that said it m8 haha, just trying to help you understand what i think he was trying to say.

Which is

>You will realistically not have a choice between top undergrad business schools, just saying. I wish the best of luck to you though.


Meaning probably the schools pick you? Or maybe selection is limited? or like you might get into 1 top school but not the other

Probably, I'm pretty tall for an Indian.
I'll make sure though to not upset anyone in the History department.
The Chicano Studies department is fair game though.

>there are Cred Forumsacks going to SC
Makes me glad that at least there are kindred spirits here. In advance I apologize for me about to suck some serious SJW dick on my culture papers for that A+

t.9fag

I do Cyber Security and it's like the entirely of Cred Forums from Australia is in one course.

No clue, but it's guarded pretty heavily. Friend of a friend went dirt biking there and as soon as he got over the hill some vans drove out and they got questioned and their phones smashed.

Yes and I will never forgive my parents for it

Studios throughout the entire country are $1000 bare minumum. My girlfriend and I would have a hard time surviving of off both our salaries alone just for a 1 bedroom. Thats why I plan on getting far, far away the moment i have enough saved up

Sorry didn't see you responded.

I'm saying it's unlikely you'll get into more than one or two no matter how qualified you are. (I'm sure you are)

thats crazy. Yea I went driving up empire one day and found myself in front of their gates with 4 surveillance cameras in my face haha.

I definitely feel that vibe you were talking about with that other user. Mountain-folk type.

Great drive tho

Skyline is absolutely gorgeous. I've heard that we have some pretty legendary twisties, I'm going to get a new bike soon to try them out.

Yeah, Idk what he's getting at. Are we being forced into only one top school? I've heard of people not making it into their state's university, but still being accepted to columbia and georgetown. admissions are never rigid, in fact they're pretty loosey goosey, especially if your gmat is between 680-720. so desu still have no clue what user is trying to say

No I'm just saying that admissions to undergrad b-school is almost random at a certain point and to not count on getting into one particular school.

Yeah, for sure. Tbh, if I don't make it into berkeley or stanford or whatever lofty school I'm trying to get into for my undergrad, I'm for sure fucking off to another state for my MBA after I finish my undergrad. this place is shit, and everytime I meet a trump supporter and start to think CA has a chance, some other shit happens, like my hometown council approving itself to become a sanctuary city or some shit

gotcha. I'm just super tired user. sorry if i sound terse. long day and my body won't let me crash

Yeah I work in SV and you can see the shuttle they use for their employees, super eerie bus.
Haha some mountain folks are strange but some are the most genuine people I've met. I play some music and one of the best shows I've played was in Joe's Bar in Boulder Creek.

Which college are you at? That place is seriously a hell set within paradise. Good luck, you'll need it to avoid becoming pozzed while simultaneously maintaining any semblance of friendship.

Lucky you. Despite some of the cultural elements, Santa Cruz is one of the nicest places I've ever visited. I did CIS in Houston, it was mostly foreigners.

not even user. Just went through it and I managed to find some normal people.Just have to do some weeding

I wanna hear more about mountain witches. I make the drive through 17 often. Any chance I might hit one?

Where are ya from?

Dude, my other cousin was scouting out south facing hillsides ~20 years ago, because reasons, and he was swooped on by unmarked black helicopters.

There is serious shit going on, but I have no idea what it is.

He has keys to most of the gates between the Santa Clara Valley and Santa Cruz. His **grandpa was the 1st sheriff and because of property held by the family he has easement or w/e, the legal right to pass through private roads to travel in and out of his own.

There are also caves everywhere, the mountains are ancient lava flows.

I live right by UCSC campus and have no friends
wat do

If we're talking CS, I've got 10 books I could recommend that will teach you more than an expensive degree at a private university. I regret mine; but I'm not in debt.

Lot of money up there too, from what I can tell. Fair number of nice cars.

I actually go by Bullseye Archery in SV to pick up some arrows every now and then

damn thats crazy. Thanks for sharing

where you at? I'm off of bay near campus :^)

Not really. I've heard that the real hardcore ones board up all the windows in their house so sunlight can't come in. You'd have to wander pretty far in the mountains to find one, and chances are you'll find a meth lab before you find a camp. I've heard they follow the typical pagan stuff though, animal sacrifice and lunar events. I only know one person who's the daughter of some pagans and she's pretty normal.

>I've already been asked what gender pronoun I go by during the first 10 minutes of orientation.
I'm sorry you look gay.

Can you post them? CS Major here.

IE/OC area. My hometown is kind of a gray area(Yorba Linda). Our areas had councils put sanctuary cities up to a vote.

Flip your desk every time someone says "Gender pronoun".

Oh huh I'm from OC too

Nice to see us represented here, but that's awfully sucky about the sancuary city stuff

Ask for a refund every time someone says "Gender pronoun".

I'm near High & Western
Actually I lived here for 10 years and then moved for a few years and just moved back

Business. Unfortunately, business, like law, is about connections. Better schools would put you in a better position for better connections. I mean, every story is different, and not every ivy leaguer is a social butterfly(I'd hazard to say a portion may actually be autists), and a state school attender could get into a pretty successful firm. but there's just certain institutions that if you have them on your resume, you never go hungry.

Woah small world. I work in shipping and I know the owner from when they used to work at the Post office haha. Older woman with short hair right?

You mean bitches who like to sit on their fat ass all day are attracted to jobs where they sit on the computer all day?

yeah, but my house crossed into IE territory. It's hard to explain over text especially at this hour lol

hahaha. That is crazy. Yea that's the one, along with an older guy, maybe the husband.

hahaha that's fucking great. beat them at their own game. I wish I was a history major because that's what I'm most interested in, but I ended up switching to Econ which I guess I'm lucky to enjoy as well. Meh :(

>wasting 4 years of your life and six figures for a useless piece of paper
Enjoy being replaced by Pajesh.

this is meant forjesus I'm fucking up.

Where in OC you from? If youre from the Orange/Irvine/Tustin/La Habra/Brea pentafecta, we've probably crossed paths

Won't post my list since it shows up elsewhere on the net, but I think this guy has solid picks. twitter.com/fabynou his site looks down ATM.

Yeah that's her husband haha. Wow crazy, it's so wierd seeing my home area on Cred Forums.

Thanks!

Mission Viejo

Wtf im from yl too. 714, 92887. Gimme more details of this news

damn nigga u rich.

but seriously, I never roll across anyone from irvine or brea on here, see if I've crossed paths with them. there's always people I want to ask about, but I never have the balls to do it. I should probably let the past stay there.

Thats how I feel about the people in santa cruz man. There's probably 1 or 2 degrees of separation here

It never happened. killeed before the rumblings could even become tangible. yorba linda stated in 2010 that they supported arizona's tough immigration laws, and were actually one of the only californian cities to do so. but desu district faggots just wanted to intimidate city counsel.

it's annoying, man. like at night I can't stop thinking about these people and I wanna know how they're doing and shit and if people that grew up with them and shit knew them, but idk. I just avoid social media and these people faded out of nowhere. I'd just be taking shots in the dark, and then I realize that if they wanted me, they wouldn't have faded...fuck

I should probably head to bed

Nothin wrong with throwing a buddy a "whats up with you lately?" every now and then. If something sticks and something sticks. And if it doesnt then let bygones be bygones and keep lookin forward.

If you actually are interested in how their doing, then it shouldnt be a problem.

I should sleep too

kek well its mostly a girl and she faded and I've lost all contact and just avoid all social media in general. spilled my guts too soon and she split cause people are uncomfortable with intimacy in this town. lost friends cause I'm not a liberal, as well.

goodnight user

Dude, there is a ghost town beyond Loch Lomond, spoopy shit. They flooded areas to make lakes, and some were permanently shut off from the rest of the world. I heard it's like the hills have eyes.

Seriously though, don't just go for a stroll in the mountains. A personal friend of my father's went missing up in those mountains. About 10 years later some hunter found him while pissing on his bones.

People go missing all the time.

>Loch Lomond
54 minute drive from here, might bring a friend and a gun and go visit this weekend. Sounds like fun.

>beyond Loch Lomond

could you be more specific m8? beyond north/east/south/west??

The men in the trenches during WWI should have been men and stuck their heads up.

Holy fuck that sounds like hell.

I never had to cuck myself to that level when I got my degree.

This is dumb because every tech company in te United States prefers an American that can speak fluent English because they are wayyy more productive and work better in teams than any immigrant. Good try on talking about things you dont know shit about though.

>advice for college
Dont. I'm working the job you will in 4 years with 0 school.

Damn I wish I could have the whole going to university experience americans have.

University here in Brazil feels like an extension of high school. You don't need to go too far and you always come back home at the end and everyone is childish.

We have a similar version of that called city college, or community college. Where its a step up from high school, but not quite university level work.

Probably the best Aussiepost I've seen in months.

how much is the debt?

Why are German universities so shit? How many german colleges are in the world's top 100?

Santa cruz here, i want to here more of these spoopy stories about mountain-life.

>I'm a Computer Science major.
>What should I expect?

Well certainly not girls

No, they ARE university tier, I went through university level work. Hell, I even got a PhD.

The equivalent of a community college we call another thing here, federal institutes, where I got my first superior degree on web development.
Here in Brazil, you don't usually need to leave your city to study on a university, thats all. Even if there is not one in your city, there will be a private university on a city nearby.

Even the top university of the country, USP, feels like high school.

It's a cultural thing, famalan.

same, me and buddy might go exploring those mountains tomorrow

Brave

my mistake, I meant the experience is similar. Meaning, most people go to city college, and then come back home. Rather than living at the college.

whats your phd in?

Why north american top labs are full of germans, italians, russians but not americans? LUL TOP KEK

That's not even true. Whatever fantasies you need to tell yourself Hans.

timeshighereducation.com/world-university-rankings/2016/world-ranking#!/page/0/length/25/sort_by/rank_label/sort_order/asc/cols/rank_only

Don't be so butthurt.

>Good luck, you'll need it to avoid becoming pozzed while simultaneously maintaining any semblance of friendship.
Are you exaggerating? Is it actually that fucked there?

Computer science but my thesis 'n all is like bioinformatics.

It's a pain in the ass to discuss superior degree with foreigners, desu, not quite your mistake. So many things get lost in translation. Sorry.

Yeah, the experience is pretty much the same for everything, I wish I had the "fresh out of high school to university" american experience. When I did my internship in america, I was too old already to enjoy it.

But I DID start on the equivalent of a community college when I was 22, heh. I remember I wanted nothing to do with research and bacharel, just a superior degree on a CS based focused on web development, we call it a "technologist degree" (literal translation) here. Has the same weight of the undergratuate degree but it's 3 years instead of 4 because it takes away all the academic bullshit.

This is how the jews became jews.

santacruzlife.com/santa-cruz-ghost-towns/

^^more about the spoopy stuff.

Also, the Winchester Mystery house is worth a visit, over 17 in San Jose.

My advice for you is to only order from Dominoes, because Pleasure Pizza, Tam's Chinese and those cocksuckers at Pizza My Heart are fucking faggots and do not offer sick deals like USCS001. Heil Hitler.

Welcome to Santa Cruz. Avoid the Levy. If you want weed go to the Circles.

'Sir' is the best pronoun.

Yes, there are a lot of liberals, and the college is in a very scenic location in the forest (Santa Cruz, CA). But college is what you make of it, and even if few, there are still conservatives that attend the school. They may not be the "coolest" crowd, but they are there if sought out.

thanks for the link, user.


I feel more grateful for having been able to have that 'american experience' now. Thank you for humbling me. You sound like a decent guy. I'll leave you with a pic from my university before i head to bed

Well I figure there are a lot of liberals in most american colleges, but that there is an actual bug chaser epidemic really rustles my jimmies hard

>The Holy City Cult

>One of the more notorious ghost towns of the Santa Cruz Mountains is Holy City, located along Old Santa Cruz Highway. Holy City was established in 1919 by “Father” William Riker, an ex-fortune teller and mind-reader, and a group of about 30 cult-members.

>After fleeing to Canada to escape charges of bigamy, Riker developed “The Perfect Christian Divine Way,” and preached celibacy, white supremacy, and no drinking of alcohol. Riker himself though, was exempt from the whole “no sex” thing and took a wife, and demanded that his followers, mostly little old ladies, give him all their money.

>The town became a roadside attraction and tourist stop which featured a restaurant, gas station, weekly newspaper, and even its own radio station. Billboards and signs saying things like, “See us if you are completing marriage, suicide, or crime” sprung up along Old Santa Cruz Highway to entice tourists. Riker ran for governor four times, and was arrested in 1942 for writing support letters to Hitler during World War II.

But how do you know? You've never been in any top laboratory in the US, because you are not smart enought.

So there's actual proof that it works.

steamers lane is good surf though, brah

Lulz I have an business degree and now am doing a post baccalaureate medical program at UC Davis. I'll let you find the ranking tough guy. Oh btw, in America because our schools don't suck it really doesn't matter where you do your science education lol.

>William Riker
I guess you could say that, as Jesus scammers go, he was... Number One.

>business degree

Soon to be admitted to med school. But yes continue attempting to put me down to make yourself feel better.

UCSC is trash. Go Bears.

Just a reminder to be sure if you are not going to at least irvine, ur a shit loser and at the very least you should aim for SD.

We all know how these ucr or csun dumbasses are perceived, ucsc? Hahahah

Haas student here. It's tough to get accepted into the program. You have to interview and have at least a 3.9 to get in during soph year. You can't declare immediately.

Keep your head down or get hit in the face with shit. Unless you like shit in your face then I suggest ignoring them unless you're confronted.

Instead of sperging out like a nigger in the middle of class because they triggered you with their retarded feeble-minded acts just learn the basic information you need to know and either become an apprentice to someone who knows what they're doing or transfer to a good college once you get those GPAs up.

Rofl. Great school but it's pretty out there. My neighbor goes to UCSC (we have been very good family friends for 15 or 20 years), she's your classic SJW, feminist, genderfluid (or whatever it's called now) tumblr communist.

I'm not at UCSC, but I'm a STEM at a very liberal school. My advice is to remember why you're there: earn your degree, get research experience in the lab or work experience or whatever, then move on with your life. The first year or two won't be easy, with the gen education requirements and intro classes with kids that won't make the cut in the major. You're never going to win an argument with an SJW, liberal, feminist professor; you're not going to changer his or her opinion. Keep your head down, get your grades, move on. By your junior and senior years, you'll be in your upper-level classes for your degree, working or doing research.
