Moving from SoCal to Berk?

<p>hey can someone please tell if your calnet id is the same as your student id?</p>

<p>yes it is...you'll be using that number for your entire stay at Berkeley</p>

<p>I'm still debating between UCLA and UCB...</p>

<p>I'm going to Cal from Hacienda Heights near LA.</p>

<p>and IM DOWN FOR A ROAD TRIP!
i need to make new friends anyway...</p>

<p>Welcome to the Bay. Yeeeeeeeee</p>

<p>Moving from South O.C. to Berkeley and trying to get into the Clark Kerr dorms</p>

<p>Hm...I'm still undecided about Berkeley and UCLA. I know I would definitely fit in at UCLA, since I'm a SoCal guy. Hotter women, better hygiene, better style, more exercise for my you know what...what more can you ask for? But isn't it good to try "new" experiences? I'm not sure if Berkeley would be my cup of coffee, but I think it might be good if I got out of my comfort zone. Everyone up there seems all smart and shiet, I'm not sure if my personality would fit. They seem too uptight and can't loosen up. Is that true? Got damn son! I need some help!
But if I do choose Berkeley, I'm comin straight out of Pasadena jiggas.</p>

<p>Go visit and see for yourself. Hearsay ftl. ^</p>

<p>Skool4Fools: You'll be surprise by some of the Cal students.</p>

<p>@Skool4Fools:</p>

<p>Hm...you said, "But isn't it good to try "new" experiences?" I can tell you that taking crack-cocaine is a new experience, and that's definitely not good. You're already building up Berkeley to be a place full of people who are totally incompatible with you, so this biased perception will carry through you if you decide to go to Berkeley. Then whenever people disappoint you at CAL, you'll be like "Damn, I should've gone to UCLA..." So really, if your preconceived notions suggest such ill feelings for people who go to CAL, go to UCLA. </p>

<p>Dude, I sound like I'm "too uptight and can't loosen up," like those people you said. Haha so maybe some of that is true, or maybe I'm acting the part to deliberately convince you go to UCLA. You know what's worse than not being able to go to CAL? A person who goes to CAL and complains that he goes to CAL!</p>

<p>But yea, like Lackofsense says, not all CAL students are like that. Simply think of statistics, and no way EVERYONE will be like that.</p>

<p>skool-
dont forget its still like 40 percent Asian...
you are never going to get too freaky with numbers like that.</p>

<p>It's completely ridiculous to make any generalization about any campus. There are SO many different kinds of people at any UC you choose to attend -- you can't automatically fit everyone into a "nerd" or "douchebag" or "loser" category.</p>

<p>i've actually went up there and i won't say its my kinda place.
i doubt i'll fit into the majority society, which u know... party... and then party... and then party... and well... yea...</p>

<p>i lived in unit 2 before. at 2am i could hear people screaming and partying from the building across mine at unit 2. and trust me its loud. well my window was open but come on there was no AC i don't wanna suffocate.</p>

<p>but well u no what... i'll find my own group to hang there, mayB nerds just like me =D
but my whole CS team is in the bay area so yup thats a bonus for me</p>
