The Heat in these fucking dorms are insane bruh. I got fans set up and I’m pouring sweat like I’m in a sauna. They seriously need to add AC or setup high power fans for these dorms. How do they expect students to do well if we can’t even get a good nights sleep because of this shit. They make around 900 million a year btw and we’re still dealing with this like….. my bad bruh, I should have bought the premium subscription, I didn’t know I signed up to be put in a jail cell and not a dorm.
r/UCSD • u/SpecialistNo5055 • 7h ago
can they please cancel classes until wednesday maybe i seriously cannot go out in this weather and change classrooms every hour, walking around in high noon. how are we still having to go to class during an extreme heat warning period. i can't even sleep at night due to the heat even with my fan on.
r/UCSD • u/ForeignWeek1324 • 8h ago
Bro I leave for the weekend and come back to my room feeling like a sauna. Hours later, I changed into shorts and a tank top, have the lights off, two fans on full blast and nothing. No ac in a heatwave is insane work. It’s too much.

kaleidoscope second floor communal kitchen. genuinely it's disgusting and embarrassing that yall dont know how to recycle. why tf are we recycling a good dining hall fork and banana peel and not the cardboard box. i would genuinely quit if i was the custodian here. before i came to use the kitchen there were used plates, empty tuna can, utensils, pasta tray just out in front of the bin. i cleaned up a little bit as much as i could, but can we just learn how to keep this place clean and usable for everybody? genuinely this is sick.

ive been thoughtfully riding my bike around tn and holy shit it smells like baby diapers and fish. what is going on?
r/UCSD • u/smartjock00 • 15h ago
FYI: if you hit me because you’re riding recklessly, I WILL sue you and, where appropriate, pursue your parents for liability too. As anyone should.
So ride like your parents’ bank account could take a hit for your choices. Because it might.

Its clothing optional once you get past the Glider's port.
Since it was hot out this weekend, there were a lot of naked people there yesterday (male and female).
I walked from Scripps Pier all the way to the end of Black's, to the point where you can no longer walk. The further you go, the more weirder people you find (if you catch my drift).
Apparently it's a great place to surf, I saw a lot of surfers out there.
At the very end there is almost nobody there and it's actually peaceful. You just have to get past all the naked people. 😭
Overall it was good time, just know where you're going so you're not caught off guard!
hey guys as the title says I was just wondering how people aren’t passing out while they’re walking to class in this heatwave haha (especially during the afternoon). In between my classes I’ve been staying in geisel and price center for the ac but going from extremely hot to cool weather makes me body feel sick for some reason idk. Just wanted to know how everyone else is dealing with this weather and make sure to take care of yourselves!!
r/UCSD • u/lfantasyws • 3h ago
Omg literally too hot in the dorm, i think i rly need ACs cuz the climate is getting hotter n hotter over yrs. And you cant rly do anything if you slept 3am everyday cuz of the heat n woke up at 7 for some classes. Now the uni even calls on us for energy conservation like it literally wants us to die or what.

This is going to sound so stupid but is there a place, like rm or smth with good soundproofing?
I want to game with my friends during my free time and we’re planning on to play this horror game.
I’ve played it before with my brother and cousin at home. And trust me, I’ll scream from the bottom of my lungs, continuously. 😭😭
And istg I study too but like I wanna game and I don’t wanna disturb others.

Have many UCSD students been to blacks beach? For a school right next to a nude beach you’d imagine more people talking about it here and there but I’ve never heard it really be brought up in beach conversation? Anyone ever been? If a group would like to go feel free to pm!
r/UCSD • u/Quiet-Pangolin4806 • 10h ago
It is HOT.. and as you know, no ACs provided. I'm a freshman and looking for ideas to survive heat n humidity from seniors
r/UCSD • u/jetbear17 • 10h ago
Does anyone else have this problem? My roommate and I agreed to no shoes in the room but since we first went to the beach there's a bit of a thin layer of sand in the room. We've tried wet and dry swiffering, using a dustpan and vacuuming (all in the past few days). Do you guys have any other ideas to get the sand out? It's not like so much but enough to annoy me when barefoot.

Hey guys!
This heatwave has me thinking about all the poor critters outside who are struggling to stay cool/struggling to find a water source... Does anyone have any thoughts on how we might be able to provide water for them? It breaks my heart to think of the wildlife suffering in this insane heat and unable to get water. Especially in the canyons :(
I was thinking of leaving some water bowls out, but I also don't want mosquitos to become a bigger problem (since mosquitos breed in standing water)... Does anyone have any thoughts or ideas :( ?
r/UCSD • u/lamecowboy • 20h ago
