<p>while i think most people know how much i hate SB, i will say a few things:</p>
<p>professors - some are actually wonderful. you will get the few who don’t care about anything but their research, but a lot are great if you go to office hours and genuinely care about what they’re trying to teach you. i think that this is especially true for the psych and soc departments. linda wicks, susan brennan, and patricia whitaker are great, so if you can, get into one of their classes.</p>
<p>parking - park where ever you want and fight the tickets. i did that basically my entire time there and out of the 100 or so tickets i got, i only paid 2. if it matters that much to you, just do what i did. south p isn’t horrible, though it is very inconvenient. the buses are generally on-time. i refuse to stand on buses so i mostly just busted my way to the front of whatever line there was and got a seat, so that’s also an option. no one will say anything to you, and if they try, just ignore it. they can’t pick you up and move you.</p>
<p>i agree that there is no social scene, but i think they’re trying. they have all those weird little carnival things and whatever. wait for the moonbounces, those are great. where else will you be able to play in one after age 7? </p>
<p>advising - i had nothing but a great experience with my advisors. really interested in what i wanted to do, were supportive through the transfer process, and helped me work things out from day 1. </p>
<p>and that’s really it. i don’t think there’s anything else even slightly okay or good about sb, but the things i just mentioned i thought were worth hearing.</p>
