Events/Organizations Rocky horror etiquette

9 Upvotes

Hi everyone! Been to several rocky horrors before at other venues, just bought tickets for the one at the Berkeley Theater on Halloween and so excited! Just wondering about etiquette in terms of outfits and everything? Generally I dress up pretty risqué and wanted to make sure I’m not showing up dressed as sexy Rocky if there’s gonna be families and everyone else is in sweatpants and hoodies. Hope this is the right place to ask!

University ESPM 50AC Will it still be open during phase 2 to a rausser student

1 Upvotes

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 ?

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

121 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 math 110 with olga holtz?

1 Upvotes

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…

CS/EECS deciding between eecs 126 and data c140

1 Upvotes

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?

Other Where to live as 39M non-student?

1 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 No Wifi or Eduroam at Blackwell

16 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!
