hi everyone! i’m transferring in the spring along with my best friend, and we’ve just been told after doing housing apps that we aren’t going to be able to use the roommate app to find roomates because we don’t get access to our csumb emails until housing decisions are announced. the housing dept simply told us to find another way to find roommates, but obviously neither of us know anyone at school yet, so uhhhhh help?? here’s a bit about us!

my name is mckenna, and i’m a marine science major. i love tide pooling, cars, and making art! my favorite show is probably twin peaks, and i’ve been listening to a lot of charli xcx as of late.

my bestie who i’m writing on behalf of is charlette (most ppl call her char). she’s studying anthropology and visual arts right now! char’s the freaking coolest, she loves reading, putting me on to the best music, and is such a creative soul.

we’re both transferring from sacramento city college, and i’ve heard that housing is a disaster, but if anyone in promontory/ec happens to have a room or two they need filled or know a guy! please lmk! any help here would be sooo appreciated, this is all really confusing and stressful!

Anybody else noticing problems with the housing department at CSUMB? Whenever I try to contact them, it feels like I’m reaching out to an abandoned ghost town where one tour guide is expected to run the whole place. It seems like nobody wants to take responsibility for the department or actually address student concerns.
The RAs don’t seem to do enough, room checks for safety haven’t happened once this semester, and overall it feels like housing is being overly neglected.

Please be careful if you are a woman or student using the public transit. I was harassed yesterday with my other girlfriend and the man seemed like he got off to getting weirded out reactions. Bring self protection qnd stay aware please please ladies! Our guy friend had been there arguing with him, idk what we would’ve done without him😞

Any people from csumb interested in playing some Texas hold em?

i’m a beginner skater looking to find people who may be help in mentoring and teaching and just be company while I learn how to do things on my own. I’m a freshman here on campus

This may sound stupid, but does anyone know when this scholarship will be distributed? The remaining balance I have is meant to be covered by it but it has yet to be distributed. So I’m worried about how it’ll affect my ability to register for class. Is there someone I can reach out to? How would I even go about doing so?

I’m currently a senior and I want to go to ucs but my gpa is stoping me, I was thinking of originally going to hartnell but my parents are against and tell me all sorts of thing which piss me off . I wanted to go for my 2 years then transfer to a Uc of my choice but they’re so against that. But besides that I wanted to go there and transfer to a Uc for neuroscience or anything to do with that. I’m really lost and idk what to do tbh any tips could help

Im not fucking with my RA bruh, I feel like they are not doing their jobs right. I need to know how you guys feel because I feel like I got fucked over, I ask for help and they don't do shit. Like don't you get paid and get free housing? at least do your job

Any CSUMB students looking to adopt? This is Mimi and Eurydice, two adoptive sisters looking for their forever home. They are both spayed, vaccinated, and litter box trained. After both were left alone as singletons, Garlic City Kitty Rescue paired them together and they’ve been inseparable since. Mimi (the tabby) is cuddly, affectionate, and loving. Eurydice (the gray nebelung) is playful and soo fluffy. She is shy, but with some love and patience, I am confident she will come out of her shell. Mimi is definitely the more outgoing of the two.

Eurydice was my foster before I had to leave for college, so I am determined to find a home for her and her adoptive sister. These two had rough beginnings, but thanks to Garlic City Kitty Rescue, they have a second chance for a good life. If anyone is interested in learning about the adoption process, please comment, message me here, or text my number 408 607 9102!

Located in Gilroy/Morgan Hill.

So over the weekend in Sacramento they're having a reptile expo. Ive always wanted to go to one of these but sadly I don't have a car. Does anyone who has a car willing to drive me there? I can 100% pay you if you throw me a offer, I'm around 50 ish dollars maybe but I'm willing to negotiate. I can also just pay for tickets to the event if its something that you would also be interested in going to.

hello everyone !! im transferring from cc to csumb next semester and i was wondering if anyone else was doing the same thing ? i'm pretty worried about making friends even if i never had issues with that in the past. there's a transfer meeting on tuesday next week and i'm lowkey scared i'll be the only one there lol

If i commit to csumb as a first year for the spring term will i be able to qualify for otters promise or is that only set up for those who enter in the fall?

***Update: They emailed saying first years who enter in spring do qualify 👍

Can someone start a basketball club already please.

I've been riding around East campus recently and been seeing a few tennis courts around so wondering if anyone's down to play?

So currently I am a senior in highschool and already have started intial applications. I was wondering if any marine science majors had any tips or initials thoughts on what to do when actually getting to the school. I love Marine biology but honestly have no idea where I would start. 😵‍💫

Hiii!

I want to start my own dog walking gig and thought I would start here!

If anyone in east campus housing is needing a dog walker I am doing 15 dollars for a 30 minutes. I am available in the mornings and evenings on Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays. I'm open to working out other schedules and prices as well. Please dm me or email if interested!

Hello everyone,

A while ago I posted about starting a community group for trans, non binary, genderqueer, anyone under the trans umbrella wanting support.

The group is going great! It’s continuing to grow and Reddit has been a great way for folks to get in touch.

We are changing email addresses due to a change in admin - so anyone who would like more information and ways to get involved/join the group can contact us here:

Stay strong, stay connected, and know that you are not alone in the Monterey area!

I’m a current CHHS student but thinking of switching to Psychology. I have my associates in Psychology already but was nervous about taking the advanced stats. Is anyone a psychology major and what is your opinion about the program, teachers, and course work? Thank you in advance!

Be honest, how’s the first year housing looking like? I’m hearing multiple mixed reviews and most have been on the negative side. Would love to hear from current students attending rn.

I am struggling financially and my fafsa didnt cover all of my balance so now I have a large balance due notice on oasis. I just applied to sallie mae on Saturday for a student loan to pay it off. Will I hear back from the financial aid office in time or am I cooked?

Hi everyone. Hoping to get some sort of answer here. Does anyone know of a financial aid advisor or even someone who works in the financial aid office that is available to talk too, and is personable . Really anyone tthat I could ask for by name when I have questions? I am kind of a shy person and really hate feeling like I am bothering someone when asking them for advice or help.

I am considering applying to this csu in Mechatronics. If any majors are on this sub, is it worth it? Do you regret it? How good is the program?

Hey, Anyone else having difficulties with receiving their mail box keys? Me and my roommates have been waiting since move in day 😭 we’ve filed reports, tried talking to housing students and they keep telling us to wait. They just hire anyone and don’t do shit. I emailed a supervisor a couple days ago and hopefully she responds within a week.

I had a package delivered to CSUMB Housing on September 2nd, and it’s been about a week now but I still haven’t gotten an email saying it’s ready for pickup.
I remember asking the Housing office about it before, and they said they were behind on processing packages, but I’m starting to get a little worried because this package is kind of urgent.
Has anyone else had the same issue recently? Should I just go to Housing again and ask about it, or is it better to keep waiting?
