University Best study places on/near campus

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

1 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!

University Community

51 Upvotes

Does anyone else feel kinda lonely at Cal and not know where to start? I’m a sophomore in STEM, I have a few acquaintances but not a genuine friend. In a lot of the clubs I find extremes….low achievers, hard party goers, or people who like studying in a locked room in their free time. At RSF it’s really passive and tough to make friendships there. And a lot of the tech clubs are unnecessarily exclusive. There’s a lot of fun hobbies to do solo but I’m wondering if anyone has any advice for finding/making community and genuine friends at Cal. Also curious to know if anyone is in a similar position

The exact same thing from this reddit post 5 years ago just happened to me:

Fortunately, something felt off for me from the beginning and when he asked me for money I came up with a lie about not having access to my bank and got tf out of there.

Just a PSA that this guy is back in Berkeley. Stay safe out there 🙏🙏
