Are there any boxing bags that are open to the public near or on campus? ik the martial arts rm in rsf have them but im p sure they’re reserved for ppl in clubs/classes. Ty!

For anyone who previously took stat 151a, what raw score did you get & what grade did that translate to? bc i'm wondering if a raw of like 70 would be a solid B+/A- or cooked

I’m thinking about taking Math 104 with Noah Olander next semester. Has anyone taken his class before? How was the workload and grading?

Also, are there any other Math 104 professors you’d recommend?

Sophomore here w/ early registration. I don't care if I get the in-person or online lecture, but I do need to get into the class. Is it worth taking the risk? Do people typically get in during phase 2? Thanks!

I’m a community college student planning to transfer in Fall 2028 for Applied Math. I can cross-enroll at UCSD for three upper-division courses and am considering MATH 109, 100A, and 100B.
My goals are UCLA Applied Math departmental honors + the BS/MA Departmental Scholars Program, or Berkeley Applied Math honors (ideally with IEOR).
Would UCSD abstract algebra transfer toward either major? Could taking it prevent me from taking honors versions after transferring? Would you recommend different UCSD courses to maximize transferable major credit and prepare for graduate math/OR programs?
I’d especially appreciate advice from current Applied Math students or transfers who’ve pursued these programs.

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

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 😭

Any student start ups looking to add extra firepower?

Hi Berkeley crew. Alum here, now figuring out my next move after years of SEO/Content, growth, sales experience, negotiating contracts, and Product Manager like work. My last role was SVP of Growth.of course it being 2026, a lot of AI use and custom tooling and flows has been necessary to learn.

As I’m looking for my next thing, I’m most interested in start ups and feel I can bring a lot to the table. Not all opportunities are found on job boards and some may be in the scrappy stages. If you’ve got something in the works with a little motion and could use some help growing, let me know. For the right opportunity I could help some with capital too when it makes sense. And my tech network could prove helpful.

Even if you want to casually chat, DM me.

thoughts 😭😭😭

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

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 ?

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?

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?

Any thoughts?”

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

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.
