<p>Hi, I was wondering if it was possible for a perspective (or admitted rather) to walk in to a class. It would probably be a large lecture hall with 250+ people. How easy/difficult is it to do? And are there any risks... (probably a stupid question) </p>
<p>Do you need to swipe a student ID or anything to get in? Do other students really care if they notice? Anything to do to make it less obvious?</p>
<p>nah…you can just sneak in to the back if its a large enough class and no one will notice. they dont check ID or anything</p>
<p>You can “sneak” into any class that has a professor who doesn’t take attendance at any college in the United States that does not have a closed campus.</p>
<p>AKA you’ll be fine.</p>
<p>Yeah, walk in, no one cares. Even in the small discussion you should be fine.</p>
<p>you can technically come to cal for free. go to classes like a normal student and learn just as much as everyone else here. </p>
<p>the thing we pay $$$ for is the grades and the diploma, not the education.</p>
<p>so yes, please try to sit in on as many classes as you can in the dept you’re interested in. should be a good experience</p>
<p>^ lol dont be so pessimistic, we get feedback on our work, individual attention, research</p>
<p>if you wanna make it less obvious though, bring a backpack and maybe a notebook to take some notes. Then you can study the notes later! lol</p>
<p>lol individual attention.</p>
<p>i have a feeling eminem doesn’t go to Berkeley.</p>
<p>Try not to look like you’re paying attention, that’s a complete giveaway that you’re not a student.</p>
<p>lol i’ve done this before… and i’m a student here…</p>
<p>^ i “snuck” into a class the semester before i took it to scope out teacher+people’s reaction to tests.</p>
<p>i have a friend who sat in on one of my midterms with me, she just scribbled on the paper and handed it in at the end lol.</p>
<p>Sometimes I like to sit in during Poli Sci midterms and write about life and its meaning. </p>
<p>One day, I’m just gonna take as many finals as I can.</p>
