<p>yea....UC Berkeley is gang ra**. I think it a mistake for me to double major in engineering and also have a minor in engineering. If next semester is hell, I might end up dropping my minor. </p>
<p>And FYI, finals week is the time where the suicide rate is high at UC Berkeley. Honestly, they got heavy police patrolling around the campus and also the neighboring Golden Gate Bridge. (Presume that is the spot to have a successful death). Honestly, I'll consider it a great embarrasment if I tried to commit suicide and fail and then learn the next day that my incident makes front covers with the title: "Berkeley student fails, and fails to commit suicide"</p>

<p>yes, isnt that the truth? i never seen libraries so packed my whole life, and people had blankets and pillows and some other home necessities with them. i was feeling so much pressure during finals,i can only imagine how you feel!! but it is over on the 19th....and sleep will be our friend again for about a month...</p>
<p>Yep--good luck to EVERYONE still working on finals and to those who are waiting for grades. And by the way-mosharma, that really does seem like quite a load.</p>
<p>To all you ppl trying to find students with goals and intellectually equal to you, the solution is really easy: Take HIGHER level classes and not the ******** classes every second dumbass in your CC takes. I assure you everyone in that class will be as ambitious as you if not more. You can easily detect those classes because there is only one section of it and its only half full!! For example: differential equations, linear algebra, chm science 2(not as the others tough), circuit analysis and so on...</p>
<p>Regarding libraries, yea....they were packed like crazy. MOFFIT and DOE Libraries were almost impossible to get access to. And the ghetto thing is that the Bechtel Engineering Library closes at 10pm.....i don't understand this at all..........</p>
<p>CC libraries suck for the most part from my experience... I am lucky that I live 15min from UCI and for 28bucks every 6months I have a library card and access to the study center which i use ALOT!</p>
<p>I'm glad you find that statement amusing cal_girl.
I can definitely see reasons for some to prefer study at a library, but it sounds like some of you guys simply cannot study without it.</p>
<p>some people just do better at a library. i personaly dont, but i know a lot of people who fare much better at one, maybe it's state dependent learning, if you will. they CAN study without one, but being in one is the optimal choice. mosharma, engineerring ppl have the lowest gpa out of the whole school because engineering is a very very very hard major at berkeley. and the library being open until only 10 doesn't help a lot of people either. you would think one of the majors our university is most famous for would have an engineering library that stays open later than 10 pm. i am still very suprised haha.</p>
<p>WillDo, same here. Although, the blenders kind of get to be too loud at times. I usually study at Starbucks when I cannot find a good library to go to. That or Barnes & Noble.</p>
