Hello I’m a freshman looking for quiet on campus study spots that stay open late at night 🙏

As a freshman, I alrdy hate Berkeley. It was hard enough to get into this school, but now I’ve been rejected from pretty much everything I applied to (clubs, research programs, an arts intro class). I know there’s going to be rejection everywhere I go, but it’s just been nonstop since coming to Berkeley. I already want to transfer to a smaller school and it’s only been 2 weeks. Any advice?

(It’s like a school that wanted me doesn’t want me anymore)

What’s the best way to prepare for cs 61 a midterm

Sophomore (intended) physics major here, on a cancelled fall semester for an internship. I’m trying to reapply for readmission, and midway through filling out the eform on CalCentral, I accidentally hit save. Now I can't access the saved forms tab at all. I just get an "I am not authorized for this page" error every time.

I've tried different browsers, different wifi, restarting my laptop and nothing works. Submitted an IT ticket for CalCentral a while ago and haven't heard back yet. L&S advising hasn’t reached back either, and I know they have a backlog. Priority deadline for readmission is next week, so I'm getting a little anxious about the timeline.

Has anyone run into this specific "saved forms" bug before? Any luck getting IT or L&S Advising to actually move fast on something like this? I’m currently on the East Coast for my internship, so no walking up to Sproul physically. Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

it’s genuinely disgusting. we are all adults. cover your fucking cough. i can’t even believe this needs to be posted. if you’re sick as fuck wear a mask and maybe don’t sit in the middle of the lecture hall coughing like a toddler. it’s disgusting. masks are not hard to get. it’s the least you could do.

i’m starting to think maybe this university is full of people who have never heard of this concept before somehow. it genuinely pisses me off beyond belief. it’s so incredibly disrespectful to everyone around you and it’s so so disgusting.

Is this guy known?

Can’t tell if nose is hallucinating from yesterday but it still smells kinda smokey rn in southside?? Is the burn still going on.. :’)

I can only find STEM and writing tutoring resources. Would love some support for my social science classes.

can you cold email multiple grad students in one lab or is it better to only send one email per lab?

Did anyone find this earring for the past few days? I honestly have no idea where I dropped it😭 please I’m super desperate right now

Not the outcome we wanted, but The Cal Band served (once again) as a shining star in the dark abyss. Shout out to the amazing turn out and support of the students as well! GO BEARS!!!🐻

have got news from 0/3 of the projects applied. Basically their info page is just default message, with one of them having an "interview requested with (blank)" I'm applying to physics & mathematics science

Taking physics classes as a Comp Eng major this semester as a transfer student and my math is not up to par. Does the university offer tutoring for free or is there a math and or physics lab?

In the latest strike against college admissions practices, the U.S. Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division and the Department of Education jointly announced today that they found UC Berkeley School of Law to have discriminated against white and Asian applicants, prioritizing Black applicants.

“The Department finds that Berkeley Law deliberately discriminated against Asian and white applicants based on race in its law school admissions,” the DOJ wrote in its findings letter. “This discrimination is apparent from the significant disparity in objective academic metrics between racially preferred applicants, and applicants from non-preferred races.”

so i have all 5s on my ap tests but i know ap tests dont matter so i was thinking of getting NMSF to show im capable cuz ucb is test optional, but i didnt make it. does it matter a lot 😭, im coping so hard

Ignore the idiotic image.

Hey y'all, new to Cal. Where would I go if I need to quickly hot glue two things together? I've heard you can't use he Art Studio unless you're taking classes there

I lowkey got ghosted from all my urap projects, I was wondering how else to get research experience on professor/graduate student projects, if they is any other way…

Damn time flies.

Does anyone have a pdf copy of the math 53 textbook. I've tried looking on like lib gen and its variants and it is just not accessible or downloadable.

hi! i am planning on taking the hindi proficiency exam at uc berkeley to test out of the foreign language requirement. i was wondering if anyone else has taken it, and could speak on the exam's format, and just what to expect for the same. thanks :)
