yosemite cal poly dorm tour

Evie shows you a Yosemite Triple Dorm at Cal Poly!

Calpoly:Dorm #1 (Yosemite triple)

The following is an computer-generated summary of the video transcript.

There was just one bet, and then two desks underneath. You get George sets, uh, really nice corkboard on the back of my freshman year, so I don't know what it's like to live in a triple, but it's a little cramped, but you're somebody who has, like a really tall ceilings and along the right breaks, which is a separate living area on campus. The triple czar, so small and compact, we go live in a triple. I would highly recommend putting towers as your number one choice then. So two people have closet space up against the wall just like the doubles. Because it's a triple their are a separate, like I want something like that for, Well, thank you. Then there's the double bunk beds, and you think that's have space underneath? You could put all of your storage down here, and then there's the third desk right to the left.

Cal Poly SLO Dorms Ranked

Here are the highest rated Cal Poly San Luis Obispo dorms. This ranking was put together based off of what students rated Cal Poly SLO dorms on the RateMyDorm Cal Poly SLO Page .

Sierra Madre

Rated 2.1 / 5 stars by 2 Cal Poly SLO student s

" I gave this dorm a really mediocre review because, honestly, it wasn't great. The building is horrific 50s brutalist architecture that reminds one that the cold war really wasn't that long ago. The rooms were decent, although extremely old. That being said, the designers did exactly one thing right: every room is no more than 15 feet from the common area, which really helps foster extremely tight and social communities. It's really easy to meet people in these dorms, as you have to walk through the common area every time you enter or leave. "

Rated 2.8 / 5 stars by 2 Cal Poly SLO student s

" Farthest dorm building which means it’s quieter. Older but smaller floor sizes to know more people. The wall around the outside makes if feel safer. Being right next to the hill is a plus for outside time. "

South Mountain (Red Bricks)

Rated 3.2 / 5 stars by 9 Cal Poly SLO student s

" I currently live in a triple and have it arranged in an L-shape to have more room. It can get cramped when my roommates and I are getting ready together but when done right it can be manageable. The building's layout causes it to be more of a social dorm. The study room and game room get the job done. The study room has a lot of areas to study but can be busy. The kitchen is tiny, especially compared to the new ytt dorms. If multiple people are cooking it can get cramped. The cleanliness of the bathroom depends on your dorm floor. They are cleaned once a day but can get dirty quickly. The dorms were built in the 50s so not the most modern in general. I would say one of the best things about the dorm is its location. It is pretty central to campus, near classes and Starbucks. "

Cerro Vista

Rated 3.9 / 5 stars by 2 Cal Poly SLO student s

" This is a good fit if you want more of an apartment style campus dorm with a privateish bathroom and a kitchen so that you can cook your own food (since campus food wasn't amazing during my time in 2016 when I lived there). This apartment is as clean as you keep it since you're only sharing the place with a few roommates. Loved the community center (CC) too for another option to study at if you don't want to study in your apartment or walk all the way to the library. "

North Mountain

Rated 4.1 / 5 stars by 2 Cal Poly SLO student s

" In my opinion, I believe that NOMO is the second-best, if not the best, dorm on campus. I think that no other dorm can really compete with it for location since it is so close to campus. It also has some of the biggest rooms on campus, which gives you a lot of room to work with. The bathroom is pretty nice in the sense that you do not have to share it with many people since you only share it with two other rooms, for a total of nine people sharing one bathroom. The only downside is that the showers are pretty small, so it did take a little getting used to using them. Now on to the cons which I don't have many. The major one is not having a kitchen and that may not be an issue for most people as campus housing compensates by giving you a microwave, but for me if I wanted to cook I needed to walk to another building while carrying all the supplies to do it. Also the only other thing I can think of which are minor and may not just be for NOMO is the initial room layout was weird and in my opinon was need to be changed and then also there was not much social aspect. "

Poly Canyon Village

Rated 4.4 / 5 stars by 7 Cal Poly SLO student s

" Honestly loved living in PCV and I’ll be bummed to move out, loved the community and having my own spacious room. I’d say the biggest downside is the lack of a garbage disposal because that creates some sink and trash issues. Also it’s far from some stuff on campus but if you know your fastest path to campus it’s a 10 minute walk typically. "

yakʔitʸutʸu

Rated 4.6 / 5 stars by 7 Cal Poly SLO student s

" These dorms were super clean and modern. They are the newer dorms on campus so they have a lot more amenities and common spaces than other dorms on campus. There are also really nice study rooms which were super helpful. Definitely recommend! "

Akshay Bhatia says shoulder is ‘work in progress’ after arriving in Augusta for Masters debut

Change Text Size

AUGUSTA, Ga. – Akshay Bhatia remembers his first trip to Augusta National a decade ago when he was here to compete in the Drive, Chip & Putt competition held annually on the eve of Masters week. He attended a Masters practice round the next day, sitting in a grandstand and dreaming of the day that he could compete in the tournament.

It was a rapid turnaround – and dramatic change of plans – after Sunday’s win. Instead of heading home Sunday evening, he was Augusta-bound to make his Masters debut. Fortunately, a friend flew Bhatia and his team from San Antonio to Augusta, Georgia, on Sunday night and Bhatia’s agent arranged for this week’s housing.

While Bhatia’s Masters dream has been a decade in the making, he admittedly took his time getting to the course Monday. After seven consecutive weeks of competing, and the adrenaline rush that followed Sunday’s win, he knew rest was imperative.

“I think soaking in what just happened is important,” Bhatia said Monday. “You don't get to have those opportunities too much. I waited seven, eight months to kind of get those feelings of singing in the car on the way to the airport and just kind of bouncing up and down on the plane ride. Today I'm still going to soak it in. (Tuesday) is kind of, 'Okay, what's our goals for the week,' and just get ready to tee it up.”

Akshay Bhatia overcomes injury on playoff hole to win Valero Texas Open

One question is how Bhatia’s injured shoulder will impact this week. He dislocated it while celebrating the 12-foot birdie putt he made on the 18th green at TPC San Antonio to force the playoff with McCarthy. Bhatia had to receive treatment on the first hole of the sudden-death playoff.

He said the shoulder will be a “work in progress” this week. It’s an injury he’s had before. He hurt it once while playing pickleball, and it happened again when he was competing at the 2022 Butterfield Bermuda Championship. He still finished T17 that week.

“It's nothing new to me,” Bhatia said. “It's a weird, weird experience because I had so much adrenaline so I had no pain in that playoff. But it's definitely something we're going to have to work towards, and I have a lot of trust in my team that we can tee it up on Thursday.”

His flight arrived in Augusta at around 1:30 a.m. on Monday and, after a leisurely morning, he arrived at the course shortly before his 4 p.m. press conference. He was going to work with a physio after his media obligations. The only certainty on his schedule was Wednesday’s Par-3 Contest.

“Just going to kind of sit down with the team and figure out what the best game plan is,” he said. “I'm hoping my shoulder should be good, but I might be a little scared to hit some shots, and we just have to find out tomorrow.”

Ukrainian dancers to perform ‘Giselle’ at Cal Poly Performing Arts Center 

Kateryna Kukhar and Oleksandr (Alex) Stoianov.

Principal dancers helped to evacuate 300 dancers from Ukraine when war broke out

– The Grand Kyiv Ballet is set to entertain audiences with their performance of “Giselle” at the Cal Poly Performing Arts Center on Apr. 13 at 7 p.m., marking a one-night-only engagement as part of their First National Tour.

The ballet tells a tale of resilience and inspiration, embodied by principal dancers Kateryna Kukhar and Oleksandr (Alex) Stoianov. The couple found themselves far from home when conflict erupted in Ukraine. Originally intending to return to Kyiv, they were abruptly confronted with the reality of war. The news of the outbreak and bombings reached them at 5 a.m. on Feb. 24, 2022.

Kukhar and Stoianov, parents to two young children, orchestrated a daring evacuation with the aid of friends and family. Their efforts weren’t limited to their own safety; they facilitated the evacuation of 300 dancers from Ukraine and initiated the formation of four ballet companies worldwide to provide employment opportunities for displaced dancers.

Tickets and additional information about the performance can be found at https://www.pacslo.org/events/detail/giselle24 .

Research Briefs: Quick Looks at Research in the Bailey College of Science and Mathematics

BRIEF SUMMARIES SUBMITTED BY RESEARCH STUDENTS AND FACULTY IN THE BAILEY COLLEGE OF SCIENCE AND MATHEMATICS

FOR YEARS 2024 AND EARLIER

(Faculty mentors highlighted in bold italics.)

Alpine Plants in Yosemite

BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES

WHAT: A research team from Cal Poly is resurveying historic vegetation monitoring plots in Yosemite National Park to understand how Yosemite’s alpine plant communities are responding to climate change

WHY: Temperatures are warming more quickly in alpine environments compared to lowland areas and alpine plant communities may be a proverbial canary in the coal mine when it comes to the impacts of climate change.

WHAT’S NEXT: “We are in the midst of analyzing the data and plan to share our results at upcoming conferences.” (Friesen)

THE WOW: “We hope to understand how alpine plant communities have shifted over the last 30 years and use this information to improve model predictions about the future fate of these unique plant communities.” (Friesen)

Data-Informed Academic Rigor

WHAT: This research leverages culturally relevant data to deepen the grasp of analysis of variance, providing a dynamic web-based learning tool for educators and students.

WHY: “Williams' vision, shaped by Cal Poly's academic excellence, fosters innovative teaching strategies. Collaboration with Cal Poly Scholars has refined his approach for broader educational impact.” (Williams)

WHAT’S NEXT:  The research collaborators are expanding into projects such as "Plot for Shots," analyzing basketball legends, crafting guides on application programming interface creation and examining long-term demographic shifts.

THE WOW: Bolstered by the acumen of the student researchers, Williams' early doubts were transformed into a collaborative force with the undergraduates, elevating the data science pedagogy and igniting student potential.

Insulated Solar Electric (ISE) Cooking

WHO: Peter Schwartz , more than 100 students and partners in Africa, India, Nepal and Fiji.

WHAT: The researchers are developing Insulated Solar Electric (ISE) Cooking at Cal Poly. In 2023, Schwartz helped collaborators in Africa and Asia build ISECookers in communities where biomass cooking is common.

WHY: Biomass cooking creates deforestation, pollution and safety hazards for those (mostly females) gathering fuel. More people die from indoor air pollution than from AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis combined.

WHAT’S NEXT: Working prototypes are being built in a factory in Kathmandu, Nepal. Two current challenges include repeating the Nepal success in African countries and studying adoption and dissemination.

THE WOW: “It's been amazing working with so many students and working across cultures.” (Schwartz)

Water Intake and Glucose

KINESIOLOGY AND PUBLIC HEALTH

WHO: Doris Cheung, Carson Crouch, Annie Hatzenbeler, Darren Lin, Sean Ryan, Adam Seal , Annalise Vargas, Olivia Wagner.

WHAT: “Numerous studies show associations between water intake and glucose regulation. We will manipulate water intake and track blood glucose using continuous glucose monitoring. No study has tracked blood glucose in free living adults while water intake was manipulated.” (Seal)

WHY: The global prevalence of type 2 diabetes is increasing. Non-modifiable factors such as genetics, age and sex play a role, several lifestyle factors contribute to prevalence rates, one of which may be water intake.

WHAT’S NEXT: An effort has been made to prevent pathological hyperglycemia using medications, some of which are costly. However, lifestyle continues to be a focus of current research.

Antibiotic Cross-Resistance

Biological Sciences/Microbiology

WHAT: “We are investigating the effects adaptation to a food preservative has on antibiotic sensitivity in Pseudomonas fluorescens and Escherichia coli, specifically if there is any cross-resistance between diacetyl and antibiotics with different cellular targets.” (Russell)

WHY: Antibiotic resistance is an extensive issue and the group's research contributes to the understanding of cross-resistance through exploring another selective pressure that can make bacteria less vulnerable to antibiotics.

WHAT'S NEXT: The team has demonstrated that diacetyl-adaptation results in cross-resistance to various antibiotics. They will next investigate the resistance mechanism through whole genome sequencing and efflux assays.

THE WOW : “Antibiotic resistance is a very daunting idea because it threatens our ability to stay healthy. A well-rounded view of how it develops will help us find new ways to fight it.” (Russell)

Effects of infection on fish

WHAT: A collaborative team of behavioral ecologists and microbiologists examines the effects of infection with Mycobacterium, a common but untreatable infection of fishes. Their labs used the outbreak as an opportunity to study the effects on fish behavior, physiology and morphology.

WHY: The researchers predict that Mycobacterium infection alters traits in fish. Their findings may contribute to understanding host-pathogen interactions in a model system and may support protocols for diagnosing aquatic mycobacterial disease.

WHAT’S NEXT: “We look forward to building our sample size and analyzing data to determine the effects of infection on traits important for fitness in fish. We are excited to produce joint publications across labs.” (Kimura)

THE WOW: “ Our interdisciplinary study joins physiologists, behavioral ecologists and microbiologists, yielding a unique opportunity to collaborate across several fields of undergraduate research at Cal Poly.” (Kimura)

Sustainable Land Initiative

MATHEMATICS

WHO: Nicholas Babin, Claire Balint, Yiwen Chiu, Charlotte Decock, Lynn Hamilton, Matthew Haberland, Michael Haungs, Peter Herder, Michael McCullough, Moses Mike, Erin Pearse, Yamina Pressler and Cal Poly students.

WHAT: Develop a system for increasing farmers' adoption rate of climate-smart agriculture by removing impediments (lack of funding, training, equipment, materials) and provide support with the transition, including automated reporting and a peer-to-peer community of practice.

WHY: Agriculture is a readily decarbonized sector, and nature-based solutions for sequestration provide for it to become carbon negative. As a major agricultural center, this makes it a key climate solution for California. WHAT’S NEXT: “We are expanding the program to other counties on the Central Coast, elsewhere in California, and into other agriculturally-oriented states.” (Pearse)

THE WOW: “By digitalizing and templatizing processes, we reduced planning timelines from eight months to three days and implementation timelines from three years to six weeks, greatly increasing the speed of decarbonization.” (Pearse)

E. coli CFT073 Motility

WHAT: Researchers are examining uropathogenic E. coli CFT073 and various mutants to establish their ability to swim and/or swarm, since motility is an important part of urinary tract infection (UTI) pathogenesis. Individual bacteria can swim in liquid but swarming is a coordinated group movement across solid surfaces.

WHY: Motility is essential for UTI strains in order to colonize the bladder or kidneys. Swarming motility is particularly important in catheter-associated UTIs and it is unclear what factors are essential to coordinate swarms.

WHAT’S NEXT: “We have established which of our mutant strains are incapable of swarming, and now are looking to uncover genetic factors that influence swarming motility without impacting swimming ability.” (Cliburn)

THE WOW: “Bacteria’s ability to swarm allows them to move across catheters and infect the bladder, causing UTIs in catheterized patients. We aim to understand what bacterial factors are needed for swarming.” (Cliburn)

Data to Impact

WHAT: In collaboration with People’s Kitchen of San Luis Obispo (SLO), the researchers digitized 5-year meal count records, created a data workflow and designed an interactive dashboard for visualization and trend tracking using Google Suites to allow client ownership.

WHY: People’s Kitchen serves daily meals to address food insecurity. They often observe fluctuations in meal counts but did not have digital mechanisms to identify factors associated with these shifts: weather, holidays, serving group, etc.

WHAT’S NEXT: “We will be creating the dashboard using RShiny, an R package for interactive web applications. Additionally, we hope to employ the use of predictive modeling, to provide deeper insights.” (Reynolds)

THE WOW: “The board of directors utilized our dashboard to provide summaries to their 2023 serving groups. We participated in serving meals.” (Reynolds)

The Future of Aquaculture

WHO: Mila Berntsen, Gillian Douglas, Kevin Johnson, Tatum Schneider, Greg Schwartz.

WHAT : The group has created a Mobile Recirculating Aquaculture System (MRAS) built from scratch by Schneider and Bernsten. It will be used to grow seaweed, conduct experiments, demonstrate the steps/importance of aquaculture and contribute to the public knowledge of aquaculture systems.

WHY: Aquaculture is an extremely important part of the Center for Coastal Marine Sciences' goals of sustainable fisheries and supporting the blue economy. Seaweed is a superhero in our changing climate.

WHAT’S NEXT: “Other organisms (oysters, abalone) will be added in the future. We are excited to relate this to the central valley student's familiarity with agriculture and increase ocean literacy through aquaculture.” (Schneider)

THE WOW: The MRAS will be used for both Cal Poly students and outreach programs. This was funded by the Santa Rosa Creek Foundation and will be utilized on campus as well as at partner high schools.

Kellet's Whelk Microbiome

WHAT: Kellet’s whelk perivitelline fluid (PVF) sustains developing embryos. PVF microbiome analysis revealed a diverse array of bacteria expressing genes related to host-microbe interactions, symbiosis, quorum sensing and antibiotic biosynthesis.

WHY: “We hypothesized that PVF protects developing embryos from infection. In support, we revealed that microbes in PVF express antibiotic biosynthesis genes. Our findings have broad public health implications.” (Fidopiastis)

WHAT’S NEXT: “Our gene expression studies inspired plans to cultivate bacteria from PVF and test for the ability to produce antibiotics. We plan to characterize antibiotics  to determine their novelty.” (Fidopiastis)

THE WOW: PVF is an untapped environment for discovery of novel antibiotics. This work brought together a team with diverse interests, from marine biology, conservation, microbiology, and health professions.

Join Safer in April for Sexual Assault Action Month through its Rise Up, Resist, Reclaim campaign.

Events throughout the month include: open mic night, a flow arts workshop, therapy dogs and donuts, zine-making workshop, movie night, a drag show, healing-centered yoga and Safer’s annual capstone event, Take Back the Night.
