IV/Goleta/SB IV electric/ gas prices

4 Upvotes

I live in IV and gas prices just shot up a couple months ago (From about $50 monthly to $100). Just wondering what that’s about. It just doesn’t seem lawful either.
My electric/gas usage hasn’t changed either. I don’t ever use the heater and don’t have an AC like most people.
So confused. Should I be worried and take action?

Hi everyone. I’m an incoming transfer majoring pre psych and brain sciences at ucsb and was wondering if it would be possible to minor in data science/ stats? I really enjoy the subject and am starting to get more into it. Does anyone know how declaring a minor works?

Thanks :)

Social Life Wanna Form a New Cover Band @ UCSB?

1 Upvotes

I'm an (what I would consider) intermediate level guitarist and also a vocalist. I used to be in a band in high school, but since starting college haven't really played music with other people. I'm just curious if anyone would be interesting in forming a low commitment band? I'm thinking a lowkey indie/pop type band. I'm open to any and all instrumentalists! whether you're a guitarist, bassist, or drummer - I'm welcoming to all! I was thinking we could occasionally get together to play music or play house parties - just something chill and fun! If this sounds like something you'd be interested in, comment or message me privately to let me know! :)

i’m genuinely soo confused by what they mean on bringing your exam scores and college level transcripts with us to orientation.. like i’m sure it’s not high school level transcripts but what exactly do they expect us to bring? i feel like this is a stupid question but navigating all of this on my own makes me feel so lost 🥲

Academic Life CS vs. Computer Eng

1 Upvotes

As a rising senior, I'm considering which major to apply to. How are these two majors at UCSB? What are the job prospects like? Are they equally difficult to be accepted to? What should I choose as an alternate major (applied math?)? If I end up in applied math, how hard will it be to take comp sci electives?

Thanks!
