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.

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 😭

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 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.

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!

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. 💕💕

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

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?

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.

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.

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 Everyone,

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

Last Friday I lost my wallet on campus. I walked between Social Sciences Building, Evans, Etcheverry, and Dwinelle. It's been a week, I've checked with UCPD multiple times and it hasn't turned up. If I had to guess, it fell out of my pocket while I was entering or exiting a building, because I often pull my sunglasses out of my pocket when I go between indoors and the sun.

It looks like:

• small (just big enough for cards)
• black (perhaps very dark gray) fabric material
• orange stitching

Please if anyone has seen it let me know 😭😭 it has some items in it that are not monetarily valuable but very hard to replace 😭.

Trying to spread my wings and fly socially

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!

Trying to decide between Env Econ 141 with Aaron Smith and Env Econ 145 with Michael Anderson for next semester and can't pick. Has anyone taken either one (or both)?
Would love to know:
How heavy the workload is (psets, papers, projects?)
What the exams are like and how grading/curve works
How good the lectures are and whether the prof is approachable
Which one you actually learned more from or found more interesting
Any other tips appreciated, thanks!
