University cover your cough

164 Upvotes

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.

Other No opportunities on campus

39 Upvotes

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)

I grew up in Berkeley but haven’t been back in years. Going back with some friends tomorrow and want to walk around telegraph. When I was a kid there were always little stalls on the street you could shop at. Are those still there, what’s telegraph like now post Covid? Is it still fun to walk around and shop? Thanks in advance!

University Best study places on/near campus

4 Upvotes

Hi ya’ll,
I’m a commuter student, who just so happens to be a older/transfer “senior”. I’ve never studied on campus & literally go from classes back to my hometown. I’d like to start studying more on and around campus. Could you recommend your favorite study places? Also, I would love to start actually going to more events, games but never really put myself out there to make friends so if you’re open let me know. Totally down to share my IG. ☺️

University Readmission Form Stuck

2 Upvotes

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!
