<p>I majored in English back in the day, @NationalMUSE . We must be sympatico.</p>
<p>@cayton and @2016candles are also great helps - probably better than me. But I beat them to the punch. :)) :)) :)) :))</p>
<p>I see you’re rethinking the meal plan @cayton. ^#(^
I think it’s always better to start lower or I guess do the rollover, but maybe start at 14p. You can alter at anytime.</p>

Really? That’s awesome. It’s always a pleasure to me a fellow English major.</p>
<p>:bz </p>
<p>@lindyk8 </p>
<p>Ah, I’ve seen people recommend that, but 19P seems so liberating! Eat anytime? Sure. Meal roll over? Yep. Lots of meals? Yep!</p>
<p>Ultimately, it isnt that big of a deal as you can change it anytime. But you’re limited to where you eat. </p>
<p>Be wary of the transfer 25. :@) </p>
<p>@lindyk8 </p>
<p>I’ve alread sent in the request for 19P. :)) </p>
<p>I got 14P. Even though the food is really good, I am pretty picky about certain things and get sick of eating the same type of stuff a lot. So I think it’ll work out, considering I tend to eat smaller snack type of meals and eat pretty clean (usually not over the summer though lol) so eating pizza and hamburgers buffet style isn’t my forte. </p>
<p>Also, regarding the electives, the choices were pretty bad IMO. But if you don’t have a class heavy major it might be ok. I just prefer to take major classes. I wanted to take a Film/TV class but they weren’t even listed. So I ended up taking something for my accounting minor, that will count to my major anyways. </p>

<p>lol, our NSA said that the freshman 15 isn’t really a thing at UCLA because of all of the walking all over campus that you’re going to do. :)</p>
<p>@CSB111 </p>
<p>Interesting. They do have a lot of healthy food, too.</p>
<p>@Cayton I figured I won’t always be wanting to eat at the dining halls, and it won’t be the most convenient thing sometimes, so I’ll have meals that’ll rollover. But I like you can get stuff like smoothies with a swipe as well. 19P is only like $250 more so if you know you’ll use it I’d go for it. If not, that is a Chipotle burrito once a week lol. </p>

I’m a sociology major. There’s no list of. Which majors restrict the number of major courses you can sign up for during orientation. It’s not in all the time thing - it’s just the restriction that we have for registering for first quarter. I managed to sneak into three sociology classes, but that’s just because I’m good at what I do :D</p>
<p>I’ve been awarded work-study as part of my financial aid offer and UCLA has started to post job openings for the upcoming academic year. How hard or easy is it to get a work-study position? Admittedly, I don’t have much work experience, so I’m kind of worried that I won’t get one, lol.</p>
<p>Also, Associated Students of UCLA(ASUCLA) will have a job fair for students right before the fall quarter starts. Do you guys think it’ll be easy to get a job with them if you have a work-study award?</p>
<p>Congrats on the work-study. I cannot answer, but they do focus on w-s before others can get in so I assume you will get something.</p>
<p>They’re not expecting an applicant pool of seasoned professionals 
Present yourself well physically, verbally, and on paper. You should be fine :-)</p>
<p>Dressing properly is especially important! You should see some of the people who interview for my place. Otherwise stellar applicants who look like bums are not hired.</p>
<p>Thanks, @2016Candles @lindyk8 and @luckie1367. :)</p>
<p>Show them your involvement on College Confidential, haha! </p>
<p>And @luckie1367 you are so right. My daughter’s been at her job for about a year and a half and one reason they hired her is because she actually dressed up for the interview (within reason, of course). They actually told her that. It just creates a positive and it shows you are taking the job seriously.</p>
<p>(Of course I’m the one who told her to look nice. :-h )</p>
<p>We have some crappy ass interns in my office. I have no clue how they were hired, but if they can get hired I have no doubt that you can :-)</p>
<p>I was told the exact same thing at my job lindy! I wore some nice business pants and a blouse, nothing fancy! My interviewer said that there were strong applicants that for whatever reason showed up in jeans and t shirts.</p>
