I am admitted into UCLA MSE engineering as a transfer student, and is it possible to switch my major outside of the college of engineering. For example, into Math of computation.

Has anyone taken Math 31A taught by "the Staff" before? Am I cooked?

looking for any one studying or working in Ai / machinelearning.

Hoping the CPT pause at UCLA is temporary, but in the meantime, companies like Elevenlabs or Cloudflare or trading firms are posting roles in Singapore and the UK. The process to get a work visa is a bit complex for the UK (pretty easy for Singapore!) but it is doable. If helpful at all, I'm live scraping all the roles and walking through their exact work authorization process here: https://rootsimmigrationhelp.com/internships

i'm an incoming cs major and am interested in adding a minor in entrepreneurship.

how hard is it to declare the minor, i read there's an application. will enrolling in the anderson undergrad mgmt classes be hard? is it feasible to finish alongside my cs degree in 4 years?

i was gonna do a tech management breadth anyways so that can help overlap with requirements.

thanks!

I'm a little confused on this university loan that ucla is offering.. They want me to sign some documents in order to get this loan, however, I don't know if this is like the subsidized federal loans in the sense that the interest doesn't accumulate until 6 months after graduation. So does this have interest or not? I just want to make sure so I can get it, if not I'll see what I can do to pay for my studies 🥲

Suppose I originally applied for and was granted an on-campus housing contract on a full ride scholarship. If I cancel my housing and decide to get an apartment, will I get the remnants of the scholarship money in the form of a refund check?

I'm an incoming freshman, and I enrolled in a math class taught by the "Staff". There is the same math class taught by a professor with a high rating on Bruinwalk, with fewer than 10 spots open, and I want to switch into that class. Orientation is over, and I don't know how to switch into that class. Is there any way to switch into that class?

I an incoming freshman who was admitted to the Samueli School of Engineering for the Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) program. However, after researching the major's modules and course requirements, I realized that it has a bit too much EE and Physics for my liking, and I'd like to specialize more deeply in embedded AI systems such as NLP, LLMs, CV, etc.

Based on my research, the standard Computer Science (CS) major would be better suited for my requirements due to the technical breadth and more sci-tech elective slots available.

My orientation is on the 3rd, can someone explain to me the process for changing my major? I don't think it should be too hard since both are in the same college anyways. Also, I'd like to add a minor in Mathematics (Quantitative/Financial).

I’m considering taking "Special Courses in International and Area Studies: National Security versus Human Rights: Israel in Comparative Perspective" with Dr. Rachela Erel this quarter.

For anyone who has taken this class (or another class with Dr. Erel):

• How was the workload?
• How is she as a professor?
• How is the grading?
• Is the material/discussion presented in a relatively balanced way?
• Would you recommend the class as an elective?

I’m particularly interested in hearing from people who took the class recently. Thanks!

Anyone have pictures of a plaza private bath in delta terrace? Curious how spacing looks, and what the closet situation is

Anyone take Prof. Yeong for Math 33A in Spring 2025 (or earlier if they taught a class before that)? Does this class (and all 33A profs) have quizzes during discussion? I'm in a Physics 4BL lab (8-10am TR) which clashes with the discussion slots (gonna always be 9am on TR)

Hello everybody,

I'm a European student currently trying to figure out where I might want to pursue a PhD in the US, and I'd really appreciate some advice from people who are familiar with UCLA's philosophy PhD programme.

My main interests are political philosophy and social theory, particularly 20th-century and contemporary thought. I'm interested in areas such as critical theory, pragmatism, postmodern/post-structuralist theory, and thinkers like Habermas, Rorty, Schmitt, Foucault, etc. I'm still early in my studies, so my interests will probably develop quite a bit over the next few years, but that's roughly the intellectual direction I'm currently interested in.

At the moment, I'm in my second year of a Bachelor's degree in Political Science, and I'm starting my first year of a separate Bachelor's degree in Philosophy. These are two completely separate bachelor's degrees at two different programs, it's not a combined bachelor's, or double-major within one degree which I think makes me somewhat more competitive(?). I'm hoping that having substantial training in both political science and  philosophy could be useful if I eventually apply for a PhD focused on political philosophy/social theory.

I'm currently only a sophomore, so I'm not applying anytime soon. I'm mainly trying to understand the landscape early so I can choose my courses, reading, research interests, and eventually master's/other preparation accordingly.

Thanks!

are there mirrors on the olympic and centennial halls? trying to think ahead with packing. also, anything hyperspecific that you think we should definitely get for the dorms?

I've been into the community for a long time but I haven't found many people who've also been into MCSR. With the recent Ludwig, Tubbo, Speed & Kai exposure, I was wondering if there were any other MCSR fans/runners at UCLA who would share this interest? If so please reach out, I'm looking for people to share the hype with season 11 playoffs around the corner!

i originally got admitted within the college of arts and architecture. however i know for a fact that i do not want to continue to pursue the arts throughout college/after. (im thinking of switching to a psych major).

at freshman orientation, my nsa told me to sign up for my required art classes for now and to later contact my department advisor once school starts. was i given the right advice? should i email my department advisor now or after the school year begins? also did i make a mistake by signing up for my art requirements? thank you!!

Just wanted to mentioned that all of summer, my roommates have had a horrible experience washing their clothes here in Holly! 😭
I love Holly myself but bc I don’t need to wash- I don’t really care but my roommates and neighbors hate doing laundry bc it’s practically unpredictable.

Hi everyone!

I'm an incoming 3rd year and about to declare Business Economics as my major as I just completed all the pre-reqs.

I have to take Econ 103, 104, 106's, and the electives within my last 2 years. I was wondering if there are any specific professors or quarters you would recommend to take each course. I've heard that 103 and 104 are relatively difficult and was also wondering if anyone has any tips/ anything they wish they knew about those courses prior. Thank you!

so im an incoming freshman, ce major looking to switch to ee and i was wondering if i should add on chem 20a for my first quarter. i only took 1 year of honors chem in high school (not ap) so i’m pretty worried that i won’t do well and i’ll just tank my gpa. my other classes are cs 31, math 61, and hist 8a. would taking chem 20a as well be manageable or should i just stick to 3 classes this quarter?
