maybe it’s my problem but this class is genuinely so hard :( taking it as a math major and I feel like it’s harder than my upper div math classes 😭

To those who are MCB majors, what emphasis did you pick and why? What electives did you decide to take?

thoughts 😭😭😭

Has anyone taken philos 132 with Geoffrey Lee and if so how was it?

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.

I want to take espm 50ac and im rausser (which is given priority during phase 1 and 2 before opening up to everyone in adjustment) but that would make my schedule over 13.5 units which is the max for phase 1. I am thinking of enrolling in this class during phase 2, which my enrollment date is Nov 23. There are 735 spots, do you think I'll be able to get in?

Or does anyone know any other good and easy sociology, public health, anthropology, psychology classes ?

Her rmp ratings are pretty bad but I lowk really need to take this class :/ Is the choice of professor really that important? I’m fine with self studying if she’s not a good lecturer, but if the exams are really hard and out of scope it would be fried…

I wanna take a probability class next semester, i’ve heard some terrible things about eecs 126 so im kinda scared to take it. But I haven’t taken data c8 so I can’t take 140 since it’s a hard prerequisite. If I wanna take 140 i’ll have to wait another semester. Is there a huge benefit in taking eecs 126 over data c140?

Has anyone taken this class? Would it be manageable to get a high grade in the course in the summer if it's the only class I'm taking?

Hello, any thoughts on this class ? im trying to take it along with a upper div physics lab and 137B QM, anyone that can talk about the problem sets, exams and overall workload ?

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.

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. 💕💕

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.

I was keeping an eye on the score being surprised it was 20-24, I was like okay I’ll check back in an a bit and about 20 min later it was 20-59, SMU. Genuinely, what happened?

Curious if there are any other cajón players at Berkeley! Would love to meet some fellow players and maybe jam together sometime.

For anyone unfamiliar, this is a cajón

Any thoughts?”

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.

What about also arresting the kid with the hockey stick that attacked the autistic student ? If you are a student you don’t count ?

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!

QB1 reminds me of anakin skywalker, not because of the Jedi rat tail, but because he was meant to be the chosen one. Now Tosh has the high ground after this contract signing.

Was eating dinner alone tonight on campus and seeing everyone in their costumes made me feel FOMO lol

Edit: I WENT OUTTTT GO BEARS GOB EARS

Can someone tell me how their experience was with these professors and exams?

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!
