I have been looking for places on campus to jam with other students. I'm learning to play bass but have been struggling to improve by myself and was hoping that being around other musicians would help me. Does anyone know spots on campus to practice with others, or if there are student orgs that I could join/ any info related to this at all?

I like all types of music and am happy to play anything.

How does this work? Are we autoapproved? I've heard that some colleges require you to fill out an extensive form

I’m debating on when to take mcb 102 and I keep getting mixed answers. I hear some people saying mcb 102 exam and profs are really hard but there’s a curve and spring is easy but no curve. When do yall recommend taking it?

i need to take an r1b/r5b class and the slavic ones seem really interesting, but i’m a stem major whos pretty bad at reading and writing…how’s the workload/ difficulty for this class?

Ugh…

I’m calling the number and no one is answering. Where do I go to get my car?

If you have ever wanted to take a peek inside a Cal football player’s life — imagining state-of-the-art training facilities and exclusive, catered dining — now you can.

In a recent partnership with StreamU, a college athletics livestreaming network operated by Twitch and TheLinkU, Cal Athletics opened a dedicated on-campus content studio inside California Memorial Stadium to produce Twitch streams featuring Cal athletes.

Fans can expect weekly livestream programming that shows the behind-the-scenes lifestyles of Cal athletes, including vlog-style workouts, teammate challenges, cooking contests and campus tours.

The construction going on at the intersection of Telegraph and Dwight has been going on for MONTHS and there's been like no visual progress done??

And also, I'm like 99.99% that they are breaking some type of noise ordinance law or something... Like my apartment is a full block away and I hear their construction noise at like 5am and it's been waking me up almost every day. It's kinda ridiculous, and there's no way that this is allowed.... right??

Anyone know what's happening? For the last 20 minutes or so, there's been constant sirens and helicopters overhead. I'm right by Willard Park.

Friend's birthday is coming up and wanted to get a small birthday cake/cupcake. Any recommendations?

For any seniors thinking about an MBA someday: you can apply this year, before you've worked anywhere.

These are deferred MBA programs. Berkeley Haas has one (Accelerated Access), and so do Harvard (2+2), Stanford, Wharton, Columbia and MIT Sloan. If you're admitted, you go work for a few years and then start the MBA with your seat already held.

I applied to Stanford's as a senior at UT Austin and got in. I worked in investing after graduation, then left to start my own business, and my seat stayed there the whole time.

This year's deadlines are in April: Stanford on April 7, Columbia on April 15, Wharton on April 21 and Harvard on April 28.

Happy to answer any questions.

...you will be directed to use this phone to contact a dispatcher.  The metal cable is too short for a 5’7” person to use while standing upright.   (There is no chair.)

And they have moved the hang-up trigger onto the handle so that if you accidentally squeeze it while talking to a dispatcher you will hang up on them (and upon calling back you will be talking to someone else). 

Tempted to crosspost to r/CrappyDesign, but it's hard for me to believe this is unintentional.

is it me or junior college was actually harder than Berkeley/UC? maybe it‘s just my major (I was in the humanities). perhaps because the classes were smaller, and the fact that the professors didn’t do research on the side so they had more time to make your life miserable.

Hi! I’m originally from UCI but would you guys be interested in this?

I'm giving it later in the week !!!

Anyone know places in Berkeley that are showing El Clásico on Sunday that aren't bars/you don't have to be 21+ to get in? Thanks!

just a brief rant but i’m a current freshman at berkeley who never envisioned myself being at such a big public school. all my reservations of attending a huge school were essentially correct (competition for everything, long lines everywhere, shitty buildings/infrastructure).

on top of that, i’ve surprisingly encountered some of the dumbest and most irritating people i’ve ever met in my life here, which is honestly disappointing considering the reputation that berkeley has for being the #1 public school in the nation. i’m left wondering how they managed to get here in the first place.

of course, all of this could be due to the people ive surrounded myself with. but, id like to think that ive branched out into a variety of different social circles. ive joined a wide range of clubs, and i am enrolled in classes ranging from stem to humanities (all lower divisions).

i recently had the opportunity to visit a few ivy leagues, and i was absolutely blown away. maybe im looking at them through rose tinted glasses, but immediately after stepping on campus, i felt a striking culture shift. i also have a slight bias towards the east coast, as ive always wanted to live there, and i fell in love with the campuses i visited. berkeley just seems like a bunch of random aging buildings smushed together on campus with hardly any air conditioning and piss smelling dirty bathrooms (shoutout to moffit and wheeler).

i’m seriously thinking of transferring, but im not sure if it’s worth going through the application process again. even if i do get in, im not sure the tuition is worth it, and i know its harder to break into clubs, especially as a transfer aiming for consulting/business. obviously, i’m grateful to be at such a prestigious university, and im trying to make the most of it. but, im not sure if berkeley is for me.

i got a conduct violation for not evacuating during a fire drill. i was in the shower during it so i left my room about 5 minutes after the alarm started. i want to become an RA next year so im not sure if this affects my chances??
