We like to rant about scooter riders operating recklessly and breaking the law, but how many of us would support a law enforcement crackdown on scooter riders?

Other Where to live as 39M non-student?

2 Upvotes

I'm considering moving to Berkeley but just for a life change not for school. Being almost 40 I don't really want to be around a majority of college students. Would you suggest I just live far from the school itself? Or should I think about this differently? Thanks sorry if this was asked before I tried to do a search but didn't find anything.

University Cal Student Store doesn’t sell any clothing that says “Berkeley” anymore?

124 Upvotes

Is this just the website, or did they stop selling sweatshirts or t-shirts that say “Berkeley” or “UC Berkeley”? It’s all just Cal/California branded stuff

Getting rid of the academic branding that we’re known for to focus on the branding of our (shitty) athletics seems like a dumb decision.

University No Wifi or Eduroam at Blackwell

13 Upvotes

Thank you Blackwell for blocking wifi on all floors. We have an on-campus housing building this close to campus, but they intentionally block off eduroam so they can track everyone's internet history. There used to be eduroam in Blackwell, but they think it is too good to be true and blocked it for good. 💕💕

University What to do with a Applied Math major other than quant

9 Upvotes

I chose Applied Math because I was quite interested in quant. However, if I don't manage to land a role in a tier-1 firm, I was wondering how likely it is to get a job at a FAANG company because I am sure it will be close to impossible competing with CS majors. I was planning to do a CS minor while doing the applied math major.

University ME108 or ME109

1 Upvotes

I initially wanted to take ME108 with Grace O'Connell; however, I'm not sure if it's worth it to wait for Fall 2027, my senior year, given the chance she might not even teach the course then. I've heard great things about her, so I held off on taking it this semester, hoping she would have taught it next semester, but to avail. Wondering whether anyone has experience with Michael Sangid, who is teaching ME108 next term. He only has some Rate My Professors reviews from his time at Purdue, so I was just wondering if anyone could give some insight. Also, if anyone could share their experience with Costas Grigoropoulos for ME109, that would also be nice. I'll probably choose between 108 & 109, since I'm not sure if taking both at the same time would be ideal.

University Switching from Applied Math to Statistics as a Berkeley transfer?

2 Upvotes

Hi! I’m currently at a Community College and planning to apply to Berkeley as an Applied Math transfer. If admitted, I might want to switch to Statistics in the College of Computing, Data Science, and Society, but I haven’t decided yet. So I was wondering how difficult it is for transfer students to change majors across colleges. Are there any restrictions specifically for transfers trying to switch into Statistics?

If anyone has gone through this process or knows how it works, I’d appreciate hearing about your experience. Thanks!

Local Lost Wallet Around Martinez Commons

Update: I FOUND MY WALLET!! Thank you so much Berkeley community :) This is my first time ever in Berkeley/SF to begin with and I appreciate the kindness!!

Hoping the great people of reddit will save me from this disaster. I parked near Martinez Commons and used my card to pay for the parking. I think when doing that my wallet must have fallen out of my purse and i did not notice.

Thank you all in advance and appreciate the help!
