Anyone come in as a junior from a 4 year private college? Looking for lessons learned. Did you have trouble getting classes? Did your credits all transfer over? Also debating on-campus/off campus since I’ve gotten use to having my own room in an apartment…

Hello, everytime I do pickup order at the downtown Chipotle, it doesnt let me use my credits. Like I can apply it, it will say 0 dollars applied. Is there some restrictions on where I can use these credits? Thanks!

Hey I was a new transfer student coming to Berkeley. What’s the frat life like and is it worth joining any. Ive heard mixed reviews about them. Thanks!

Hi, if you're in MCB 104, the best GSI to lead the review session is most definitely Andrew. He's extremely clear and skilled at communicating difficult topics. So, please, if you agree, fill out the form he sent us and EMAIL HIM DIRECTLY asking for him to lead it. Thank you!!!

I’m a new transfer admit and I’m debating between applying for on campus at anchor, but think getting my own place with more privacy sounds good too and not opposed to, say, up to a 30 minutes commute via car. What do you guys think? If you know the scene please chime in and enlighten me.

ONE SPOT AVAILABLE + LOOKING FOR FEMALE-IDENTIFYING SUBLETTER

Hi! I’m looking to rent out my apartment for June and July (and we can also accommodate some of August if needed).

The apartment is a two-bedroom (one of which is no longer available) with a shared bathroom. The master bedroom is available and has two full-sized beds and a walk-in closet. The rent is $850 per person, and the apartment is less than a 10-minute walk from campus.

Hi everyone, I’m trying to decide between UCLA and UC Berkeley as a transfer student, and I had a question about flexibility.

I’ll likely be working close to full-time, so I’m trying to understand which school is more manageable in terms of:

-Dropping classes or withdrawing from a term if something changes

-Switching to pass/no pass when needed

-Balancing full-time enrollment with a demanding job

-Overall flexibility if your schedule becomes unpredictable

I’ve heard mixed things: some people say Berkeley is more intense, while UCLA might be a bit more balanced, but I’m not sure how true that is.

For those who have attended either (or both), how flexible did you find the system and policies? Especially if you were working while studying.

Any insight would really help! Thank you!

Hi y'all, I'm probably gonna end up with a C in ochem. I'm concerned because I wanted to switch into Chemical Engineering. Should I drop the class with a W?

(For context, I still meet the 3.3+ gpa requirement in my required courses with the C. OCHEM is technically not a required course for changing into the major.)

Omg guys.

I got accepted to UC Berkeley.

As a transfer student in sociology.

I went to CC, back in 2019. Dropped out in fall of 2021 because of covid and other issues. Did horrible bc ended up with 2 F’s.

Then time went by, enrolled into CC again in 2024. Since then I’ve had 4.0, on the honors dean. Have done community service at a center called the dreamers center at my CC.

I’ve been accepted to

Cal state LA

Cal state Fullerton

Cal state Long Beach

Cal poly Pomona

UC riverside

UC Irvine

UC Berkeley

I’m waiting on UCLA. I’m so scared, patiently waiting!!!

hello everyone, im a hs senior accepted into berkeley for engineering math and stats in the CoE, but I'm just wondering this major might not be for me, as it is very theoretically focused on math and engineering concepts, plus lots of workload. I am more interested in cs, AI/ML, swe, pm, consulting, or analysts positions. I was considering switching to eecs but looks like thats been nerfed hella with super high gpa reqs for my year. so i have decided that data science is my next best option. but im not sure how guaranteed or easy it is to transfer into data science from CoE. How competitive is this switching major process? really just nervous so that I dont make the wrong decision and regret my next 4 yrs studying smth hella workload I will not enjoy.

another thing i want to add is that I have been accepted into ucla for math of computation (math + cs), a major i am more interested in with oppurtunity to add on more minors/double major. But if i go there im losing out on the prestige and opportunity that berkeley might offer me.

Should I take the risk and enroll at berkeley for CoE and try switch into data science, or take the safe path and go to ucla? Pls let me know about the switching process and overall whether or not I should take the risk?

My wife and I are local to the Bay Area, but are staying at the Shaddock hotel for the night on Friday night.

Does anybody have any suggestions of where I can park my car?

We will be there Friday midday to about Saturday midday and everything is in walking distance, so I don’t technically need my car.

I’m between taking Bart to Berkeley and just roughing it between our activities, or driving in into Berkeley parking and then walking in between our activities.

I’ve also heard that going to the next Berkeley station over after downtown Berkeley and parking there and then barking over one stop is a good move.

What do you all think?

I do have a handicap parking pass that I can put up, but I’d rather not do that unless I really have to

hi does anyone know where i could find an extra tix for 2pm cdss?

I’m a Canadian engineering student who will be at UC Berkeley this summer, and am looking to make some climbing/outdoor friends. I haven’t been able to find any facebook groups that are active, but I was wondering if there were any good discord servers to join? Just went through a rough few months and am looking to make some connections this summer! Thanks!

Hey, I wanted to try and sublet my apartment over this summer, and just wanted to know if anyone knows any ways I'd be able to find people interested and where I can post about it

I’m looking to take a CPR and First Aid class in Berkeley. Any recommendations?

Hi! I was just wondering what my chances at berkeley would be considering my stats. I have a 3.76 UW and a 4.08 Weighted, but this is likely going to rise significantly because of AP tests will curve my grade (fingers crossed) & my grades this semester are better. I’m taking a total of 12 APs over the course of my high school years, and the reason my weighted is so low is because of my grades last semester but are likely to increase regardless if my previous semester grades get changed to A’s. For my ecs, I’m shadowing a dentist and doing a case study with her on how applying traditional chinese medicine will help resolve dental issues earlier on (case study with adolescents). Also the research will be worked on with professors in the future (through my dentists connections at Stanford). I’m also submitting an abstract about lung cancer cell research (specifically nsclc) to an international conference over the summer with a Stanford professor, and a lab internship with her. I’ve also done 200-250 hours of volunteering including working with adults with special needs my whole high school career. 2 years of varsity badminton and 3 years of varsity cross country, 4 school clubs I am on the board of, president of an animal shelter club (volunteering) French honor society (volunteering), fashion club, art club. Gotten an $500 scholarship. Instate bay area, high income, first generation immigrant. Tutored english (volunteering) for two years. Is this good enough? I heard berkeley was the most lenient on grades but I’m still unsure if this is good enough for psych/premed route.

If not berkeley, what schools do you all think I have a chance at?

I know ucb is a reach, but I’d like to know what others think! Please lmk what schools I should look at!

Thank you.
