<p>I heard on Sundays, there are embroidery and knitting get-togethers in the dorms as well. It should be a great relief from all the studying.</p>
<p>"wow...cookies and milk, are you serious? if my dorm floor starts havin cookies and milk parties, imma smack em"</p>
<p>We had a giant cookie for everyone's birthday on our floor last year.</p>
<p>you hear about parties through your friends generally - i don't know what this cookie business is all about</p>
<p>haha yeah. cookiess. unless they are some special cookies with some special ingredients, i dont know if i'm down for that...but i guess the thought counts lol.</p>
<p>What about special brownies?</p>
<p>I was brought up under special rules; I've never eaten a cookie in my life, and only organic milk (rarely). A cookie-and-milk party, from my point of view, would be at the height of extravagance.</p>
<p>dude, strykur, how the hell did you get that "WRONG" to come out so huge?
Kind of random i know.</p>

<p>Berkeley is really not the party school you are looking for. I'm there all the time because my best friend goes there. It's fun but it just seems really quiet to me. Everyone is so studious and my friend said everyone is so competitive and less friendly in class. The dorms are HIDEOUS and the apartments outside campus are expensive! </p>
<p>Berkeley is a good school, but get this-- I'm 21, I'm quitting my job in walnut creek to transfer to UCSB and a lot of people who applied to replace me were Berkeley grads. You know what's sad....they didn't even get hired to replace me. I dont know....but I expect a little bit more from Berkeley grads. So just because you graduated from Cal doesn't make your resume look good.</p>
<p>It's really up to you.</p>
<p>I didn't understand the second paragraph of your post at all.</p>
<p>I'm with Tiberius</p>
<p>At my CalSo orientation, freshmen were able to walk off-campus to frat parties with alcohol. So if you can't find a party, you're socially inept.</p>
<p>yea, i was standing around for like 5 minutes during calso's night time before being approached by a frat brother asking if my friends and i wanted to go to a party. he took us to a four-story kegger/all the hard alcohol you want party, with beirut (beer pong) and king's cup, and a ton of really nice people either doing summer session at berkeley or just chilling there for the night. either way, if that's any indication (and i do realize that my sample size of one weekend night is very small), the parties should not be that hard to come by.</p>
<p>"I didn't understand the second paragraph of your post at all."</p>
<p>He's trying to say that even though these kids graduated from Berkeley, they still only managed to get the job that he got without a college degree. And it's true. Walking out of Berkeley with a 3.0 in Mass comm or Poli Sci won't get you jack. </p>
<p>There's 20,000 undergrads. Of course there'll be parties. If that is your main priority though, you should just go to UCSB.</p>
<p>The problem is that a lot of Berkeley grads don't put enough effort into their job seeking process. There is a lot more hand holding at small private schools or at the C. o Engineering and Haas. This doens't mean that you shouldn't be able to find a good job coming out of Berkeley but it takes <em>some</em> effort, about as much effort as most students put into a 5-unit course. A lot of students don't do that.</p>
<p>For a top school, Berkeley has a pretty good party scene. Certainly not as much as at Santa Barbara, but like I said top school. I'm glad I didn't end up at MIT from that sense.</p>
<p>Furthermore, if you define "partying" as more than large groups of students gathered around a beer keg in some apartment/frat/dorm, then Berkeley is fantastic. Things like going out for a nice dinner in town or SF with a group of friends, hanging out in North Beach, SOMA or the Mission, going to watch Radiohead at the Greek or the Kirov at Zellerbach, or just going to catch a spectacular sunset at Indian Rock just north of campus or further out on top of mount Tam... This is where in terms of social life at the broadest sense, Berkeley beats the $h!t out of just about any other university, top, middle or bottom.</p>
<p>"hanging out in North Beach, SOMA or the Mission...or just going to catch a spectacular sunset at Indian Rock just north of campus or further out on top of mount Tam... "</p>
<p>Now that's what I'm talkin about! Thanks for the info.</p>
<p>That's pretty awesome satchelpaige32.</p>
<p>No, partying is not my main concern merper68; getting a top education is. And yes, I'll definitely be putting up some effort into getting a great job. I'm not majoring in Poli Sci or some other Social Science or Humanities discipline.</p>
<p>CalX, the last paragraph of your post answered everything I wanted to know.</p>
<p>Sorry if I confused you guys with my last paragraph. I was triple tasking when I posted it. I only meant that graduating from a Berkeley won't guarantee success in the future.</p>
<p>In the end, it doesn't really matter which college you attend in order for you to "party hard" or get a good job.</p>
<p>If you are outgoing, friendly, and open to new things...meeting new people and having a social life will not be a problem anywhere AT ALL.</p>
<p>And as long as you have EXPERIENCE as well as education in the field you want to get into, you should be fine.</p>
<p>GOOD LUCK!</p>
