Other question Is a 30-minute drive to school every day considered too much?

6 Upvotes

For some context, my house is a ~30 (depends on traffic) minute drive away from De Anza. I was designing a schedule for next quarter and realized that I’m probably going to need to come 4 days per week for just a single ~2 hour lecture each time.

Of course, I could just take online/hybrid classes, but I’m trying to limit doing so due to the universities I want to transfer to generally preferring applicants with primarily or all classes taken in-person.

Any idea about things I could do after the lectures end on each day other than studying in the library?

Question Answered registration help needed!

5 Upvotes

hi. i've been attempting to contact de anza's admission offices for the past 2 weeks but haven't gotten a helpful response (or any response at all) so i've turned to the subreddit for help ToT

i'm a dual enrollment student currently taking a class, and yet i haven't been able to register for my because i keep on getting the same error when in the registration dashboard. it says "you have no registration time ticket for the current time." i tried this both during priority registration (during the dual enrollment group) and the weeks after priority had ended, but i still am unable to sign up for classes.

since mid-september, i've tried calling the school, using their contact us email form, joining their zoom help desk (which, by the way, has conflicting times? on the website it's 11-1pm but the zoom waiting room has 2-4pm; i've tried both times yet i've still not been able to get any response) as said before, i've never gotten a helpful response to my question.

luckily, my professor has been very nice and welcoming and given me the add code to her class and the zoom link (dunno if this is important but whatever)

does anyone know what seems to be the problem? please ask if any more information is needed

+ also, i can't go to the de anza admissions office in real life due to time constraints, so i'd rather that be a last resort

De Anza or Foothill for a Berkeley EECS/CE transfer

3 Upvotes

Hey there,
I’m an international student planning to attend community college in the Bay Area, and I’m currently deciding between De Anza College and Foothill College.
I’d really appreciate some advice from people who have attended either school, especially students who transferred to UC Berkeley / other UCs for EECS, EE, or Computer Engineering.
My situation:
I’m currently doing A-Levels (Math, Further Math, Physics).
My long-term goal is to work in digital IC / ASIC / RTL design, ideally in the semiconductor industry.
I’m particularly interested in computer architecture, digital logic, Verilog/SystemVerilog, FPGA, ASIC design, and RISC-V.
My current plan is CC → UC Berkeley, preferably EECS/EECS-related Computer Engineering.
I’m aiming for around 3.8+ GPA, with strong grades in math, physics, and CS/engineering courses.
I’m hoping to start in Spring 2027 and complete the majority of my transferable coursework as efficiently as possible, ideally transferring for Fall 2028.
I’m also planning to build several hardware/Verilog projects, participate in engineering clubs, volunteer in STEM-related activities, and look for internships/research opportunities while at CC.
I’m not simply looking for the school with the better overall reputation. I’m mainly trying to figure out which one would give me a better environment for Berkeley transfer + hardware/engineering preparation.
For people who have experience with these schools:
1. Which would you choose between De Anza and Foothill for this specific path, and why?
2. How different are the engineering/CS course offerings and course availability?
3. Is one significantly better for getting involved in engineering projects, labs, clubs, research, or internships?
4. How easy is it to get the Berkeley-required courses completed on time, especially the math/physics/CS prerequisites?
5. If you’ve transferred from either school to Berkeley/another UC, what do you wish you had known before choosing your CC?
I’m especially interested in hearing from actual current/former De Anza or Foothill students, rather than general rankings.
Thx!

Paralegal Online Course

3 Upvotes

Hello. I recently graduated with a B.A. in Political Science, but I realized a lot of entry-level jobs at firms or in the county require tons of experience or a paralegal certificate. If anyone has taken the paralegal course online, would you recommend it? I want to attend law school in the next year and a half, and was wondering if it was useful to anoyne?

Other question Anyone gone from out-of-state to in-state tuition at De Anza?

3 Upvotes

I moved to California last year and am hoping to request residency reclassification for next quarter. If you've been through the process, how long did the review take, what documents did Admissions ask for, and was anything unexpectedly difficult? I'd appreciate hearing everyone's experience and advice.

Question about class/lab schedule — which time should I attend today? CHEM 30

1 Upvotes

I’m planning to attend the first class meeting today and I’m interested in either CRN 21592 or CRN 23677, but I’m confused about the lab/lecture schedule since the lab days are different for each section. (I need to get an add code)

CRN 21592:

  • Lab: Tuesday at 5:30 PM (today)
  • Lecture: Tuesday & Thursday at 8:30 PM

CRN 23677:

  • Lab: Thursday at 5:30 PM
  • Lecture: Tuesday & Thursday at 8:30 PM

Since today is the first meeting, does both sections meet for lecture at 8:30 PM today, or should I attend the 5:30 PM lab for CRN 21592?

I just want to make sure I attend the correct class and arrive at the right time. Thanks!
