hi all c: i’m currently enrolled in Aaron Simo’s stats + math 54 class, and all of his reviews on rate my professor are genuinely scaring me because i’m extremely bad at math. i really want to switch and join the waitlist of Carrie Huang’s class at the Bundy Campus, but it won’t let me join the waitlist until i drop the math class im currently in. i’m unsure if i want to do this because what if i drop the one im currently in, and then i don’t get into the class i want to be in? if that happens, ill be severely under my credits for this year. and if i stay in the class im currently in, im afraid ill have an F on my transcript for my first semester. i dont know what to do 💔 should i join another elective class just in case i drop the class and dont get the one i want just to be safe?

Hi! Me and my roommate are SMC students and need to fill a room in our brentwood apartment by september. It’s the largest room in the apartment with its own bathroom for 1.5k a month. We live in a really awesome location right between SMC and UCLA. We’re two girls in our early 20s but we don’t really care what age or gender you are so long as you can pay rent and be respectful. Let me know if you are interested, you just need to fill out a quick application with our landlord, thank you!

I need to take ENGL C1001 (English 2) this fall semester and I need recommendations for a professor to take? Who would you all recommend and why?

Does anyone know how you apply to take SMC classes fully online as an international student (who will not come on an F1 visa, and study from abroad)?

I can't find any clear way to do this, and SMC are incredibly slow in replying to emails. I don't use the F1 student application, right? So does anyone know where/how I do this lol

Any help appreciated

Hello! I’m moving to UCHA for Fall 26, and I was wondering if anyone could give me any insight on how it is?
I’m already expecting it to not be so pleasant being a co-op and all, but how bad would it actually be? Most reviews I see are pretty old and talk about it negatively, but I hear that has changed with its new director. I also understand some of these reviews can be really biased, as in they came from a really comfortable place so anything less than ideal would probably be pretty bad.
Personally, I have dealt with electric/water turning off at random times of the day, sewer pipes bursting, dealing with cockroach nests, and overall living in a bad environment so I don’t think it would phase me, but I am scared of the other complaints on it being exploitative.
Either way, I just want a heads up because if it’s not great I’ll move somewhere else.

Has anyone taken Spanish 8 Conversational Spanish and can comment on how the class is (in terms of difficulty/content)? I just finished Spanish 2 in the spring semester and I am enrolling for the fall semester late so no Spanish 3 sections are open but Spanish 8 is. I am just wondering if I will struggle in Spanish 8 without having taken Spanish 3 yet or if the level will be fine. If I take Spanish 8 this semester I would still plan to take Spanish 3 next semester.

I've been put on waitlist for this class that I need, and I've seen that it's reccomended to send an email to the teacher to see if there's any available spots leftover. Would you reccomend I do that before the semester begins or after? ​I'm planning on sending an email the week before classes start. Thoughts?

if so what is it called, because i cant find the class i looked it up on the internet. It was said they did

I was just disqualified from financial aid even though i maintained a 3.0gpa last semester and compeleted all assignments and wanted to know if anyone was having this problem?

I (17F) just graduated high school in the Bay Area and am planning on attending SMC this fall. I turn 18 in late August and am trying to find a shared apartment near the school. I can't drive and am hoping to walk to campus, if not take public transport. I am going to have my parents sign as guarantors. My budget is about $2k a month. I need somewhere secure with good reviews. I've applied to several homestays, but I value privacy and feel a bit weird they don't allow locks on my room door. Can anyone give me guidance? I've already checked the SMC housing resource page but it's hard to initiate anything as a minor. Maybe I'll have my parents start it...

If anyone knows anything about this stuff in general, please let me know. I'm a bit scared to move out and want to make sure I'm safe.

Bonjour,
Je suis nouveau dans l’école je rentre en fall 2026 je me demandais si après la date de paiement qui est le 5 août pour les cours de fall de nouveaux cours vont être ajoutés. Une connaissance m’a dit cette infos mais je ne sais pas si c’est vrai.
Merci !!

If so, is anyone getting a 5/5 on the HW? How so?

I read all the supplemental material and watch every lecture video. He keeps giving me a 4/5 on the HW when I mentioned everything. Even in his feedback, what he says I missed I included in the essay.

There are like 15 different classes/gyms offering free trials (enough for 3 mo if you go 2x a week) and some more for <10$ per class to try.

Anyone down to gym hop with me?

Edit: solid core, barrys, burn la type 🤍

I have been reading posts about UCHA housing for SMC students. Looks like it’s not great huh?

Although a lot of the reviews are several years old.

Anyone attending in 2026 and have experience with UCHA housing?

Thank you, about to put down a deposit and trying to do my research.

Hey, did anybody receive a refund this morning to their college bank account because I did

Online flexible

Also how is Sterling AK?

I applied for Summer at the beginning of May so there should be no delay. It is July 14 and there is no amount disbursed, all my paperwork is perfect, there is nothing to be submitted as it was confirmed it was all done correctly 2 months ago. Is anyone else experiencing this? I'm putting this so if anyone else is relying on this to help while you are in school, know this does happen. This never happened before at other schools.

Hey everyone, I’m new to SMC and have been practicing the basics for about 4 weeks.I’m currently learning IDM, BOS, and CHOCH, but I still get confused when trying. Sometimes I think I understand the structure, but when I look at a new chart, I’m not sure whether I’ve marked it correctly.What helped you improve your understanding of market structure when you were a beginner? Should I focus on one concept at a time, do more backtesting, or follow a specific learning process?

I had looked at LATTC because they seemed to have a more defined program rather than a general engineering AA/AS. I wasn't familiar with the reputation of other cc's. Looking for good professors and challenging but manageable course content. Thank you so much!

I'm an upcoming freshman and currently on the waitlist for two classes. My position in both lines are fairly low but it's been stagnant for a few days. I saw comments from another post saying that writing to the professor was a sure way to get in but considering of my line position, I'm unsure. These classes are really vital for my major/GED and transfer pathway so it's not like I can just drop them. I'm just asking for some advice on what seems to be my best course of action, thank you!

i used the BankMobile checking account as my refund choice. im just curious to see if the refunds have a specific time or it's inconsistent with anyone else? if theres a awnser to this i would like to know.

Has anyone on here taken any foreign language classes here at SMC? What has your experience been like? Are there any professors you would or wouldn’t recommend?
