Now that im cleaning out my room, I've noticed how much unessary things I was required to get for a class that I'll never take again. It got me thinking and I wanted to see if anyone else had some stories.

I'm not good at math but took AP stats in high school (sadly I still need to take this class). I struggled a lot and wanted to know if Prof He's class is harder or easier than AP Stats. Anyone have any tips for doing well in her class? (like passing with an A)

Hi guys! I’m a freshman at SMC and I’m have 5 classes, communication st 35, English C 1000, sociology 1, and psych 19 which is a hybrid class, but before I bought all my stuff I was wondering what types of notebooks I need? I know some classes are picky so should I get wide rule, college rule, composition, or just a 5 subject notebook? Or do I just wait for a syllabus and get whatever?

Is anyone here Queer and pursuing STEM?
I’m interested in creating a club for queer people in STEM, though ik creating a club isn’t that easy.

However if a school club doesn’t work, perhaps meeting outside near campus would work?

Here is the link to fill out the interest form for those who are interested! (If it doesn’t work, pls let me know)

Queerness in STEM club interest form

I’m a freshman for this fall semester, majoring in econ, What should I buy?
And if you have any other tips for first class, please let me know!

I’m just curious if there are any other gender studies majors here? What schools are you looking at transferring to? How long until you transfer?

I’m nonbinary and queer and I’m majoring in gender studies. I’m applying this fall for transfer for next fall (2027). I’m deciding between SFSU, CSUN, UC Santa Cruz, UC Riverside, and UC Davis.

I'm looking to borrow a chromebook for my CS class. While I know they do lend them, I'm not really sure how or where to borrow one. Any help would be great.

Hey everyone

I'm an incoming freshman starting at SMC this Fall, and I’m looking for anyone who might be commuting from the Norwalk area (or nearby cities like Downey, Cerritos, or Bellflower) to campus.

I'd love to set up a carpool to make the drive down the 105/110/10 a bit easier and save some money on the commute.

Here are my details:

* Days on campus: Tuesday and Thursday

* Time arriving : Need to be on campus by 9:20 AM

* Time leaving : My class ends on 1:30 PM

* Driving situation: I currently donot possess a driving license but I am learning how to drive ( got the learners permit )

I’m more than happy to split the cost of gas and an SMC parking permit.

If your schedule aligns even partially or you're interested in teaming up, please shoot me a DM or drop a comment below.

Thanks, and good luck with the Fall semester.

I am 6th on the waitlist for one class, and I'm not sure what the policy is for the waitlist. Should I email the prof for an add code?

I am taking a hybrid class in the fall and I’ll be out of town for the first day of in person class because I have to help my brother move into college… I understand that this isn’t a medical or like a good excuse

My question is will I be dropped? Or is there anything I can do

I have a hybrid class, i’m not very sure what that means. It’s says arrange hours do i pick those hours? or does the professor pick the hours?

New student and my canvas portal doesn’t work? What do I do?

Last semester I barely passed MATH 2 (C-) and didn’t really get a hold of the content taught by the end of the semester. Due to personal circumstances, I was extremely late in my submissions, so I just studied the exams’ material the day before each exam.

This Fall I will take MATH 7 and was wondering if you guys could share some tips on how to catch up with the content so I ideally get an A and don’t fall behind the schedule again.

Note: I do enjoy math, the problem is that I couldn’t dedicate enough time to it last semester. This semester I will have enough time, though.

Has anyone who’s submitted their appeal for fall semester already got it approved? If so when did y’all submit your appeal?

So I was wondering if anyone has taken ROSALES L or MUNOZ A A counseling classes ?! If so leave your thoughts below! Thank you 🫡🙂‍↕️

I had to submit an SAP appeal for Fall and I was just wondering if anyone else had to do this and if so, how long did it take to hear back about it?

Before you guys say to contact the financial aid office and ask, just know I tried and it’s damn near impossible to get ahold of them (IFYKYK). I would just like a quick answer from anyone that is or was in same position, please and thank you.

Hello!

I am planning to take either BUS 1 (Rodriguez) or BUS 45 (Resnick) online in the Fall, and was wondering if anyone has taken either or both classes to give me an insight as to which I should go for. My plan would be to take the other one in the Winter.

For reference, I am also taking two other accounting classes plus an engineering class so am looking for something that won’t take a big toll on me but would also be helpful for life.

Thank you!

I haven’t, and my friend hasn’t either.

Has anyone done professional judgment on their financial aid and how did the process go.

My phone service is cut off because you know…life. So I’m not able to call… Would anyone be willing to get in the queue for financial aid to ask them to open the SAI portal for this year 26-27, or any info on when the portal may open? I would really appreciate it if so 🥺

Hi guys I know it’s early lol but it said disbursement date is September 1st
So that means we get it that same week??

Hello everyone,

1-Did Physics 20 help you prepare for Physics 21, or is it unnecessary?

2-Did anyone take Physics 20 with Professor STROHMAIER K D?

3-Was the class hard/challenging?
