<p>Hey guys! I’m from sandiego. I’m a mid-east studies major but I want to change to IR, econ or Arabic. I’m really into tricking and the martial arts (particularly Wushu and Taekwondo). Don’t know how else to describe myself.</p>
<p>str8shot, I don’t think Cal has an IR major. Is it offered under a different name?</p>
<p>Anyway, I live 45ish minutes north of Berkeley, and will hopefully do econ or political science.</p>
<p>why wouldn’t they have IR? doesn’t matter then I’ll go into econ with you 
Hey what have you all heard about housing? Cuz I’ve heard its pretty bad. Is that just a rumor?</p>
<p>hey guys! Congratulations to all! Hopefully, if i decide to go then I would see you there. the thing is, I’m an international student from Jordan, and I am planning to do medicine. With that being said, there are so many drawbacks, after pre med, from slim chances of being accepted to the expenses! The other better alternative (away from america or canada) would be to do my pre med and med in Cornell Qatar, If you guys haven’t heard about it then check it out. Basically It’s a six year med program, which is an exact replica of that in NY, It would be much easier for me to get a scholarship or loan and to get to med school, simply because Im an international student. Only, It’s Berkeley that I would be turning away from… i don’t know what to do…</p>
<p>so how is the berkeley campus? I’m from southern cali so I haven’t been up there. I heard the town of Berkeley (outside of campus) is kinda gross. but it’s cool!! i’m like 95% sure i’m going. i’m in the college of chem as a chem major =)</p>
<p>omg i’m so excited! congrats to you all!</p>
<p>i’m set on majoring in english, and possibly another major :)</p>
<p>Hey, I’m also from the East Bay here, an undecided major in L&S. I’ll probably major in something useless and profitless…not telling my parents yet. ;D</p>
<p>I’ve spent every summer since I graduated from middle school taking classes on the Berkeley campus…and live about 20 minutes from campus, so I’m kind of weirded out that I’m seriously considering attending. Anyone else feel that Berkeley will feel too familiar?</p>
<p>lala91, I really like Berkeley. Sure, it has a lot of homeless people walking around, but it really feels like a college town – tons of nice food, four movie theaters. Besides the college apartments, most of the houses in the neighborhoods near campus are for high-income folks. Professor-type people and their families. It’s West Oakland south of campus that’s a lot more shady…not so sure about West Berkeley.</p>
<p>Hey is anyone going to the campus visit thing? I thinks it like April 15 or 18.</p>
<p>This is my very first posttt (:
L&S-undeclared: pre-business</p>
<p>i’ve been waiting FOREVERR to post something under berkeley my dream school (:
I am 90% sure that i am going to attend this fall!! </p>
<p>and yess i am definitely attending cal day on the 18th.
i guess i’m going to driving up there from socal so it’s going to be a longgg ridee (:</p>
<p>can’t wait to meeting everyone!!</p>
<p>@jquin:
I got into EECS, but I am way more interested in CS than EE, so I am just curious how much EE stuff I have to do? lol. Should I just switch to CS?</p>
<p>I think there are only 3 EE classes required, two basic ones on circuits and one on technical writing.</p>
<p>I’m thinking of switching into EECS from CS just because I can’t find another major I like, and a EECS degree is pretty pure CS as it is.</p>
<p>@fifi
I hope you are right, because I am in AP Physics B this year (I wish my school offered physics C), and I don’t know if it is just because I have a terrible teacher (which I do), but this is by far the hardest class I have ever taken, and frankly I am not enjoying it at all.</p>
<p>oh jeez.
Well, honestly, if it’s the material…
SWITCH OUT! I can’t stress this enough.</p>
<p>But if you have a terrible teacher, which is likely, don’t worry, we’ll plunge through the problem sets together :]</p>
<p>I think you are right. I’ll just blame the teacher! lol</p>
<p>I look forward to doing those problem sets together. :D</p>
<p>You, me and the rest of the CS students in the lair of Soda Hall</p>
<p>Do you know how many students get into EECS each year?</p>
<p>I’m guessing a couple hundred get in and attend.
Plus the L&S CS kids added makes it a lot.</p>
<p>We’re not alone!</p>
<p>I seriously couldn’t believe that I had gotten in. I literally laughed when I saw it. My mom was over my shoulder freaking out, she didn’t believe that I got in, haha. I’m in L&S, and hopefully majoring in Neuroscience :). </p>
<p>Congrats everyone!</p>
<p>woot woot seceretsunset, hooray for neuro!</p>
<p>Im gonna major in neuroscience too</p>
