<p>students think an average of 13-16 units.. in freshman yr, they tend to take less</p>
<p>I believe 15-16 is the expected course load.</p>
<p>Can someone please rate ee 40 in terms of difficulty? is taking this course in the summer along with a somewhat time consuming english class doable?</p>
<p>Can anyone tell me if it's better to take Math 16A first semster or second semester or does it matter?</p>

Worth it for Out of State?

</p>
<p>Depends on your other options, but if you have to pay full price I would generally say no.</p>

Hi roy. I'm going to attend cal, but I sent my SLR late (2 days late) Is this going to affect my admission? Do I have to pay the extra 9,000 even though I am a CA resident now?

<p>Doubt it.</p>

<p>EE40 is a tough one. If you're an incoming freshman I wouldn't recommend it. I think it's better to take Physics 7B first.</p>

<p>It doesn't matter but don't get too behind (read: taking it 4th semester is not a good idea).</p>
<p>I was just wondering what a practical minor for a pre-business Cal kid would be? I was considering Middle Eastern Studies or Near Eastern Studies but some people said psych, linguistics, and other minors that never even crossed my mind. I'd really like it to be language but I don't know which one would be more useful than another.</p>
<p>Is the undergraduate administration at Cal still really bad? Aka a simple mistake in the system somewhere can take many many visits and forever to clear up, thus effectively causing a big mess in the student's academic progress?</p>
<p>Or, to put it in another way. Does Cal's administration still function like your local DMV?</p>
<p>Hey y'all,</p>
<p>I'm going to be there this summer and was wondering what the best option is of the three? I like to meet new people and want to be in a convenient location. Also, I haven't really heard much of Cal housing, but I like cleaner rooms more.</p>
<p>Thanks,

<p>are undergrad eecs students allowed to enroll in graduate cs courses (in junior/senior year)?</p>
<p>What's a good minor for a Chemical Engineering major? Or, should someone at that point even attempt to minor?</p>
<p>I have a question about summer school/English (Is Karabear around? =] ) </p>
<p>I'm an English major and I want to take summer school but I have no idea what classes to take. I didn't take a Shakespeare class yet, but I have to right? There are three other courses that are required but I only completed one at my community college (I have no idea why Cal let me in...). These are "foundational courses" that I'm missing. I'm just wondering if I have to take them first, or if I can go on and take the upper-division courses first over summer? </p>
<p>Is there any way I can call Cal and ask to speak with a counselor so I can verify that the classes I take are needed? I need to register for summer classes before I go to CalSo...</p>
<p>Is it true that summer school financial aid covers around 70%?</p>
<p>One last very stupid question- Do I have to take anymore breadth classes if I've satisfied IGETC, or are is it all English courses from here on out?</p>
<p>For finding a place over the summer, Telegraph Commons really isn't a good place to live but it will be your cheapest bet. It's not that clean and is a bit run-down. Usually, the units have conferences, summer camps and students coming in and out for orientation throughout the summer. I-House is nice but I think pretty expensive.</p>
<p>I think you should maybe try to sublet a place. A lot of students are away and you can usually find a nice place that is close to campus that is furnished and a lot cheaper than living in any of those three places. Check sfbay.craigslist.org. Besides, if you sublet a place with a lot of roommates, will give you a chance to meet new people.</p>
<p>Chumphree, I'm also transferring (maybe to Berkeley) as an English major. As far as I know, you will have to complete the English major lower division stuff (ie, Shakespeare) before you can officially declare yourself as an English major. I don't know whether or not you can enroll in upper division stuff before doing that or not.</p>
<p>If you have already completed your IGETC, then no, you don't have to take any additional breadth classes.</p>
<p>Can any Berkeley English majors give me some input about the department? If I decide to attend Cal, I will be transferring as a junior. After reading the course catalog, I am concerned that Cal's offerings are thin in my areas of interest (postcolonial lit, modern (post WWII) lit, and some minority lit like native american lit).</p>
<p>Did I just miss these sorts of offerings? Are they listed somewhere other than in the English department catalog? In comparison, my other choice (UCSC) offers many classes in those areas.</p>
<p>I'd like to attend Cal, but do you think the overall quality of the English department is sufficient to make up for the lack of offerings that interest me?</p>
<p>OMG, nevermind! I <em>just</em> figured out that there's a whole complit department I didn't know about. Oops!</p>
<p>Can someone explain to me the process of applying for state residency in order to get in state tuition as an out of state student? I plan to possibly apply as an OOSer and want to know the likelihood of that. Is it very difficult to switch to in state residency to get that tuition? Also, if you do, does it only apply to the years after you get residency or could it apply to your freshman year if you were to become a resident as a sophomore? Thanks.</p>
<p>Hi,
I just got admitted into cal. Im a transfer student and i was just wondering if living on campus was a good idea since i do want to get the "experience and social life of the dorms" BUT a the same time I want some privacy and a calm place to study.
What would u recommend dorms or renting off campus?</p>
<p>You can always go to the library, study lounge, or a million other places for privacy and study time.</p>
<p>cherifg - I think campus apartments are a nice balance between social life and privacy.</p>
<p>What are the chances of getting into one of these apartments, I heard its a lottery or something like that...?
also, if we rent on campus for a couple of months and then change our minds, is it possible to somehow get "out"?</p>
