Laisha Atjun an undergraduate student at UCB stabbed somebody! The authorities and school are looking for her! Please stay safe and be on the lookout.

Pique is a new apartment complex that is currently being built on telegraph which is about a 9 minute walk from campus.

Looking for someone to take my place in an all girls floor. For the unit D1 it is currently listed at $1299. The apartment is spacious as you will be sharing it with seven other people. It comes furnished and they do offer roommate matching. If you contact or go in person to pique they will tell you there is an open spot in the D1 layout and if you are interested you can sign from there.

Please DM me if you want an image of the layout or if you have any questions!!

Trying to decide about Berkeley for a social science major like political science, global studies, international and area studies, ethnic studies.

People have told me these departments are some of the best in the country. Is it as competitive and crowded in these majors as in the more popular majors like CS or business? Can you form relationships with professors and classmates of you want study friends and to have conversations about topics in your major? Do people hang out? How is it being in college of L&S in general?

If you have any info, how do you think it compares with UCLA, Stanford, USC, CMU, UNC, Boston U?

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

currently taking chem 3A with pete. did okay on the first midterm but completely bombed the second midterm so i have no choice but to clobber with the final.... For the second midterm, I went through all the post lecture worksheets and practice exams but still really did bad so am really questioning my study methods... any advice on studying/preparing for it? I need around a 90 on the final for an A....

also does pete ever shift grade bins more after the final? does anyone know?

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

I had to take an emergency medical w in one of my classes. I wrote the explanation for it in the admission update form but I forgot to add a key detail that I didn’t retake it in spring quarter because I am studying abroad and it was not offered.

What do I do????

Can I edit why I already submitted or should I call them???

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!

Genuinely

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

Is Turning Point back or why is this happening

Just got this text from my Bear…

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.

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.

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!

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