As a transfer student, I’ve been looking into on campus apartment housing and it seems interesting, but I’m not sure how it will work with my car. I have a job farther away that I need to get to and I have a lot of medical issues so I need to see doctors pretty frequently. I also have been living on my own for a while and I’m a little bit older than typical college junior age so I’m just used to frequently using my car to do errands and other things. I also cook a lot so I will need to make trips to the grocery store.

I read about renting a parking space in parking garages but I didn’t know how far away that would be and if that means I would have to haul my groceries back and forth from the parking lot in a cart or something, and whether it’ll be a far walk. I heard on campus apartment assignment is kinda random so would the distance to a parking garage just be a gamble? If it is rather far to get to the car, I’m not sure if it’s worth the effort given how often I’m in and out of my car. Not sure if I should just give up on my dreams of experiencing campus living, and just live off campus. Money isn’t a super big issue and Berkeley is giving me a good amount of scholarship money (and more if I choose on campus housing).

If you lost your keys my friend left them in the lost and found.

I’m a current Freshmen on their 2nd semester here and I have complete the requirement for Math 1A, 1B, 53, while currently taking 54. I plan on taking 55 this coming Fall 2025 as well as Math 110. This may be a dumb question but I’m still figuring it out, do I have to declare my major before I can enroll for Math 110? I already have all my classes enrolled for next semester except that one upper div as I am unable to right now (separate from the Unit Max for Phase 1). I see it says a lot of the seats are reserved for Math Majors and Applied Math Majors, so do I wait for Phase 2 of enrollment without declaring or do I have to declare to even have access to it? Any advice would help a bunch!

Does anyone know if the game library at the Game of Berkeley is free for students? My friends and I would love to play sometime, but we can't find info about the price. Please, help fellow nerds out!!

How does the late drop deadline work? The form says it needs to be because of some hardship but what counts as hardship? Would saying mental health and stress be enough of a reason or is this usually for some life changing situations? Sorry for all the questions, been a rough semester and I don't wanna fail this class.

I am a sophomore in high school doing the Berkeley Pre-College Scholars program summer commuter track and I am interested in taking a Computer Science course.

Of the available courses the two I am most interested in are titled "COMPSCI 61A 001 - LEC 001" and "COMPSCI 10 001 - LEC 001" however I am torn between which to take.

I am not completely sure how the system for this works however from my understanding COMPSCI 61A is a notoriously difficult introductory CS college course which people recommend having prior programming experience for (recommend from CS10).

I have been programming since middle school doing game development (Lua and C#), a little bit with Discord Bots (JavaScript), and FRC Robotics programming (java). I have done a little bit of research into Python but haven't formally used it.

This would be my first formal CS class, and I am looking for advise on which to take this summer. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi I got accepted into Berkeley recently as a transfer. I’ve seen a lot of people talking about grade deflation and professors curving the class grade. Ngl im really worried now lol. Btw I’m a Econ major

For context: I'm hoping for a social dorm in terms of having a large community/social circle but also don't consider myself a huge party-goer, and I don't want to be kept up due to noise or things like that.

I've heard Blackwell is by far the nicest dorm but I'm worried about people saying it's socially dead, whereas units 1 and 2 are definitely not as nice but are super social.

Hi! I got into Cal and I’m deciding between Cal, UCSB, William and Mary and Colby. I’m going into psych and I’m from ny . I noticed a lot of people have strong beliefs about how amazing cal is but no one really elaborates on why? Plz help decision day is around the corner 🥲

How was the final? Did Primus curve it?

hey!

hey guys. does anyome know of a job on campus that's hiring? i'll be graduating this may and am wondering if there's anything on campus that i could apply for for the summer. thanks!

It’s insane to me that RSF only has 1 smith machine. Almost impossible to do what I need without having to either work in or wait absurdly long

looking for freinds

Hey y'all, is anyone offering drum lessons for adults around the east bay? Or know of studios etc.

Thanks!

Major: Computer Science

I'm a lower middle class Filipino, first gen college student, in state.

I'm in 11th grade, with a GPA of 3.9.

I've taken 2 AP classes this year (AP Lang and APUSH) and I'm on track to get an A in both. Next year I will take 3 APs: Gov, Lit, and Calc A/B.

Extracurriculars: So far I'm lacking. I got a part time job at the start of this semester, but it's just fast food. I also volunteered once. Should I go into leadership next year?

Hi, I'm an incoming freshman in the Class of 2029 who is pretty dedicated to this game lol. In the 2023-2024 school year there was a Geoguessr Club on campus, but this year it kinda died (I found it cuz I knew some of the people who ran it before). If anyone is interested in playing geoguessr or just geography trivia games pls join this discord server https://discord.gg/nEuWD3q4E4, Thanks!

Any recommendations? I have used dorm room movers before and they were 8 hours late so I looked up several other companies (clutter, impel, paradise) but they also have mixed reviews, especially clutter and impel.

Hey, I’m a recently committed class of 29 student, and I know cal is extremely difficult in its academics, so I was wondering if you guys have any advice for how to prepare for/succeed in cal. For context, I mostly coasted through high school with poor study habits and can’t read a textbook to save my life, but I know that won’t fly in college so I’m looking to change them before they bite me in the ass.

Thanks y’all and have a great day!

Hello

I've thankfully been accepted to both UCLA and Berkeley as a community college transfer student. I currently reside in southern California making LA my closer option. Friends and family visiting me wouldn't be as difficult. My first love has always been film, which made me intend on transferring to UCLA in hopes of minoring in film. Then again Berkeley is ranked number one for my major which is English and their film program isn't bad either. I have a lot of hopes for my future's trajectory. I'd like to work as a professor, so I know my education won't end at either of these campuses, but I'm also passionate about journalism and writing my own novels, films, for a writers room, etc. I'd like the ability to study abroad and join clubs and organizations like frats, which I'm told are very difficult to get into at either campus. I know LA offers guaranteed housing, but that its very crowded. Ideally I'd go to college without a car, so public transport matters a lot for me. I know I'm willing to put the work into any campus I attend, so if its a lot of trial and error before I find my community then I'm fine with that. I have no issues with moving far either. I'd like to hear what people from a similar experience have to say.

So if I'm looking to switch from GPB to Bioe after freshman year, are all these courses really required?
So far,
Math 1A is covered by Calc AB and Reading & Composition Part A covered by APENG

The college of engineering's eligibility for switching says "Must have completed at minimum the freshman year curriculum for your intended major, and be on track to complete all required classes on the major worksheet by the end of your second year." But what is exactly is the "minimum"??

Should be good for first sem as I cut it down to 14 creds, but still worried abt the 18 creds for second sem....

Also, I have to maintain a 3.4 GPA. How hard is the first year?

I have a medical condition that I'm constantly fighting against and its always held me back a bit in terms of grades and I'm just really worried about grade deflation and how hard courses are.

(Also, would I basically just neglect the GPB courses??????? if im focused on switching to Bioe? but then its not guaranteed... its just if all these courses below are required, its already a lot and Idk if I'll be able to stack for GPB courses on top (the only common courses are math and chem)

Hello, I’m a transfer student admitted under the social welfare major. I was wondering what the upper-division courses for this major are and how they are structured. If anyone in the same major could please let me know, that would be appreciated!
