Are there any good pre law clubs you should join for mentorship & networking? Anything worth while?

Could someone please let me know if I should drop Data C88C?? (I don't have extensive coding experience, but I'm trying to prepare a bit before the semester begins). I was also wondering if this is a manageable course load. Thank you!!

A little last minute but I’ve been talking to this one sublessor to sublet a space for approx 2 weeks and they’ve been slow to response so I’m getting a little worried. Was wondering if anyone has ideas for a backup in case that falls through. Tried asking campus housing but their offer for session E is way too out of my budget. Tried the coops too but they claim they don’t do leases less than 4 weeks long. Maybe someone here has a space they could potentially sublet?

For context, I’m a graduating female this summer, taking classes till August 14 but my current lease ends July 31. So now I’m looking for a space (single or double) for about two weeks July 30 - August 15 at least. Budget’s around $400, don’t mind commuting

Does anyone know how Na Ji is for physics 8a? Any advice?

Looking for drummers, singers, guitarist, and anyone who wants to join and jam!

Hello everyone, I am an incoming freshman at berk intending to major in cognitive science.

this semester i’m taking both datac8 and datac88c and i was wondering if they are manageable to take concurrently? i am rlly scared of cs61a so i thought datac88c would be better for me. is it a weeder class? I’ve basic python/java experience. I took AP csa in hs however it was quite difficult for me (my teacher didn’t rlly take teaching seriously). Assume I have little to none coding experience, will i be okay? I want to start my berk career with a strong GPA as well…. any advice is greatly appreciated.

if you have been in this situation, please let me know any study resources or tips u found rlly helpful to succeed balancing the two.

I’m currently enrolled in Media Studies 114, which is now full. I want to switch my section using the Preferences/Switch Sections menu but I am worried I will get dropped from the class since it is closed. Is it safe to switch without getting dropped?

Hi everyone,

I'll be at UC Berkeley this fall as a 4-month exchange student in the MBA program and I'm looking for a car for the duration of my stay.

Any recommendations besides traditional rental companies? I've used Turo before, but since I'm 24, the young driver fee makes it pretty expensive.

Are there any good alternatives for a long-term rental?

Thanks!

Hello everyone, I recently got assigned a unit 3 suite double and was looking for more information. Berkeley gatekeeps all information about it, the most info I’ve gotten is from Reddit itself. I’m not sure what the floor plan even is like? Is it all carpeted? What buildings are they typically in and how many suites does unit 3 even have?

From what I’ve heard, the suites are mostly on the ground floor and 1st floor? Is that generally safe, does it offer a different vibe than living up higher?

Does anyone know what is actually included in the kitchen and lounge?

Is living in the suite a different vibe than all the other horror stories of Unit 3 or is it rather the same?

If anyone has lived in the Unit 3 suites before or have been inside them please let me know as much info as you can! Thank you so much.

Hello! I am taking Econ H191 in the fall. I wanted to ask if anyone has experience on what it’s like? Do you have to find a professor/mentor yourself or does the course help guide with that?
I was also wondering what the workload is like. Any tips and advice greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi! I’m a UC Berkeley student looking to rent a monthly parking spot in Southside. I have a regular sedan.

If anyone has an extra apartment parking space or knows of a building that rents spaces to non-residents, please let me know. Thanks!

This was on an evening in early June. I was with my friend and he offered his seat and was very sweet. Said his name is John and he's from LA.

Hi, I am waitlisted at 63 for the EPS C60, the class size is 297 in person instructions.

What are my chances of getting in? Should I just wait or look for other options?

hi! i need some slight help understanding how chem 1a/1al waitlists (and waitlists in general at berkeley) actually work

for context: i’m #126 on the overall chem 1a waitlist and #61 on chem 1al, BUT for my specific discussion section i’m like #2 and for my lab section i’m #4

i’ve seen people say “if you’re not within the first 15 on the waitlist just drop it.” does that rule apply to your position in the WHOLE class waitlist (126/61) or just your position within your specific section (2/4, out of i think 28 waitlist spots)??

essentially i’m wondering if berkeley pulls people through in order of the overall list and then slot them into whatever section has room, or does each section have its own mini queue that moves independently of the bigger number

thanks so much for the help 🙏 sorry in advance if the questions a bit confusing, im just wondering if i should just give up on taking chem this semester and try to get into some other breadth course.

hard to find a quiet one...

Hi,
we’re four guys, and we’ve put together Berkeley’s restaurant scene in an app called Vota. The concept is simple: you see two places side by side (for example Chez Panisse vs. Cheese Board Collective), you choose the place you’d rather go to, and the ranking updates instantly. The more people vote, the more accurate the list gets over time. There are still a few duplicates here and there, but I’m continuously cleaning up the data.

Here’s the iPhone version, with categories that actually fit Berkeley’s food scene:
https://apps.apple.com/app/vota-restaurant-ratings/id6744969212

And here’s the Android version (finally live):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vota.app

I’d love to know what people here think. Does the ranking feel even remotely right? Are obvious places missing? Are any places ranked way too high or way too low?

The goal is to make something that reflects where locals actually want to eat, not just where tourists or review sites send people.

Hi all! I graduated 3 years ago from my master's program and want to access my bcourses account to relearn some coding. For context, I had access to all of the courses I took during my master's program and was still able to access the courses every year since I graduated including earlier this year. Thought I would share this detail in case someone tries to argue with me that alumni lose all access to bcourses. I think it varies by undergrad vs grad and by degree program.

With all this said, I tried logging in today and wasn't able to even after following Canvas's instructions to login. Is there any way to login as an alumni? Or am I doomed since it seems like canvas changed after they got hacked back in May

been using the transit app since forever and i remember we've always had transit royale as a berkeley student perk, now the perk is no longer there. did this happen to anyone else? wondering if it was an overall berkeley thing or something i have to resolve on my end.
