<p>what was the name of that militant group who locked themselves up in wheeler…to protest the budget cuts? </p>
<p>they seem like interesting folk.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>The units are a good bet. They’re close to campus and the nearby streets are usually busy with people walking around until about 2 a.m. Generally speaking, the farther you go from campus, the more unsafe it is.</p>
<p>do you know the answer to my first question?</p>
<p>i have a second question…Do Berkeley students really harbor a distaste for transfer students? </p>
<p>thrid question…If Berkeley is so great…so open minded…so academically rich…why all the pettiness ? </p>
<p>fourth question…How do i go about p i s s ing off the kids that hold a contemptuous d0ouchebaggary towards transfer students at Berkeley… even more?</p>
<p>If I waived SHIP (the health insurance) will is show up at waived on MyFinAid?</p>
<p>Do computer science majors there have a life, or do they study all day every day?</p>
<p>
I want to know the answer, too!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I don’t believe it was a student organization, just a random group of students who decided to lock themselves in there. I believe most of them are humanities students, if that helps you on your quest.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Nah, Berkeley students treat transfer students like anyone else. There is only the popular opinion that transfer students are not as strong academically, which I believe is a rather accurate, if broad, generalization. Of course no one likes to hear this, people get offended and such, as you have seen in the other thread, and there are exceptions to every generalization, but that’s my two cents. That being said, just because transfer students tend to be weaker academically does not mean freshmen admits look down on them; they are generally more mature than that, at least from my experience.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>If you’re judging by what’s going on in this forum, remember that it’s mostly high school students who are competitive, and place a lot of self-worth on their academic performance and being “smarter” than others. I’d say the majority of Berkeley students grow up (at least by their 3rd/4th year) and learn to let the little things go. Pettiness is everywhere, you can’t escape it, but so is tolerance and acceptance, if you look for it.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Very few Berkeley students actually hold transfer students in contempt; those who do are not worth the effort.</p>
<p>ah…very well then.</p>
<p>thank you for taking the time.</p>
<p>During summer session, the law library closes at 9pm, I need some place where I can continue my study till like midnight, are there any places recommend? I hope they got socket and stuff so that I can plug my charger in as well. Thank you.</p>
<p>I live on campus, so anywhere should be find for me.</p>

<p>It depends. In general, you either study most of the time and have very little social life, or you can have a social life but your grades will almost certainly suffer. Most CS students tend to choose the first. Now, if you are a CS superstar who doesn’t need to spend all his time studying for your classes, I suppose you could have a social life too, but those tend to work on CS projects outside of class, research etc.</p>
<p>I heard getting classes at UCB is getting harder and frustrating year after year. Is this true</p>
<p>No this is absolutely not true. Yes getting into all the classes you would like to take your freshman year without conflicts will be difficult. You won’t have the best telebears priority to sign up for your classes so you’ll be dead last with other freshman. However, most of those troubles should decline as you progress into your jr, sr year because for the most part class sizes are larger than students actually signing up for those classes. With that said, if you don’t get into your class and can’t get off the waitlist there is always the option of taking them over the summer. Some classes that are impacted from the start are:
general chemistry, organic chemistry, biological sciences, pre-reqs to majors, english reqs, and any classes related to econ/business. Take caution in dropping classes/ switching grading option/ changing sections when using Telebears to sign up when your appointment time comes up. And always remember scheduling deadlines!</p>
<p>I’m a fall transfer, and I supposedly had until June 7th to complete the housing form. Unfortunately, the form wouldn’t let me complete it - it wouldn’t let me move beyond the “select offers” step, and the deadline for guaranteed transfer housing has officially passed. Naturally, I’m starting to flip out. I shot off e-mails to the housing people explaining the problem and have screen shots of the page to prove I’m not making it up. What are the odds that they’ll accept this and still grant me housing? Do I have any chance at housing without the guarantee?</p>
<p>Assuming I’m screwed as far as housing goes, what are my best resources for finding someplace to live for the coming academic year?</p>
<p>Who is the better teacher for Stat 21, Yu or Ibser?</p>
<p>Whats the greek life like at Cal?</p>
<p>How difficult is it to raise your gpa after a miserable first year?
I plan on being a hermit in the libraries until I can get my gpa to a respectable 3.5</p>

<p>Try calling them and telling them it wasn’t your fault. If that doesn’t work out…craigslist.</p>

<p>Have you tried ratemyprofessor.com?</p>

<p>It’s actually pretty good. You can rush a frat or a sorority. Most of the people who join are…pretty much what you’d expect. They have frat events maybe every week or every other week, go into the city occasionally, and of course the frats would have parties. If you want to get into a frat party you’d have to be in the frat or know someone. (generally)</p>

<p>Depends on your schedule and motivation.</p>
<p>Hey, I’m a 2014 freshman for College of Engineering (accepted for Nuclear Engineering.) I’m also an international student, so all these college requirements are quite unfamiliar. So first, I am actually interested in doing Joint Majors of either
- Chemical Engineering and Nuclear Engineering
- Chemical Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering
I still cannot decide between these two joint majors, but it seems quite clear that I want to do Chemical Engineering. What should I do both about my course enrollment this semester and about the change in major?</p>
<p>Second, I see some requirements for Humanities/Social Studies, Entry Level Writing, American History, or American Cultures, but where can I find the specific requirements for each branch of engineering (Nuclear or Chemical Engineering)?</p>
<p>With all those requirements, do I just look through the list of courses on <a href=“http://osoc.berkeley.edu/osoc/Fall2010ScheduleUG.pdf[/url]”>http://osoc.berkeley.edu/osoc/Fall2010ScheduleUG.pdf</a> to find a way to complete the requirements?</p>
<p>For the Tele-BEARS Schedule Form that we’re supposed to fill before going to CalSO, how final is this? I still don’t know which courses I should really register because I would probably have credits for some classes from AP exams. I am also confused about what to take first and later.</p>
<p>One last specific question: for the Reading and Composition requirements, can I enroll for a course from the B or B-1 list in the first semester? and maybe from te A list in the second semester? (I’m waiting for my AP English score to come out first.)</p>
<p>That’s a bunch of questions. Thanks alot for your time. =]</p>
<p>Oh sorry, adding to the last post, where can I find requirements for joint majors (especially the two choices I’m interested in).</p>
<p>[I don’t know why I can’t edit the last post.]</p>
<p>How difficult is the statistics major at Cal? How is upper div work?</p>
