<p>I know that many of you guys love UCB and that is great. I don’t want to offend anyone, but there is a saying or known thing that UCB has some odd people. Do you agree with this or do you think it has the same people as other schools like UCLA or USC or Stanford for example. Or do you think of yourself as “odd” and would think you’d fit in?</p>
<p>it's probably because of what happened during the 1960s, so now whenever people think of ucb they already have an imprint/impression of what you are saying.</p>
<p>I know a guy who sleeps UNDER his bed in the dorm. LOL
I also know a guy who literally carries a sword with him all day long, wherever he goes. LOL</p>
<p>on cal day, that's what i saw too. the bed in the dorm was elevated about 2-3 feet from the ground, so there was a cave under it. apparently some student was in there doing something.</p>
<p>thats the whole reason i WANT to go there...cause it IS weird :D</p>
<p>^I agree..I love berk's weirdness..haha</p>
<p>So you guys feel that you could fit in becuase people, maybe including yourself, can express your peculiarities?</p>
<p>That's definitely part of it. </p>
<p>I mean, I wouldn't necessarily agree with this, but it's been suggested that I'm the weirdest girl in my high school. And for some reason, when I got into Berkeley and told my teachers, they said they couldn't imagine a better fit, perhaps BECAUSE, in part, they think I'm odd.</p>
<p>My roommate is a cocaine addict, and Cloyne as a whole is absolutely riddled with drugs, especially cocaine, oxycontin, marijuana and nitrous oxide. I guess that's pretty weird.</p>
<p>Hell yes, and thats what I hate and love (more the latter than the former) the most about the place. ... just last night, some random chick came busting into my room demanding to know where the balcony was. She woke me out of deep sleep, and I was fumbling around trying to understand what it was she wanted. Then I get "F!@^ off" and she slams my door in my face. Yep, Berkeley has weird characters.</p>
<p>LOL!! </p>
<p>I would've probably knocked someone out for busting into my room! I guess it's good i'm not staying on campus. </p>
<p>I hear Berkeley is pretty odd, and when I told the people at my job I got in they replied, "Aren't there a bunch of Liberals there?" LOL!! Oh, man, I hope so! HA! </p>
<p>I haven't been there yet, but from what I hear it is a good fit for me. I like people who stray from the norm and I don't want to be around too many stuffy people (but they seem to all apply to the Ivies anyhow!) Before anyone says anything, I didn't say that YOU were stuffy for applying/going to an Ivy, I said that seems the general type to me, and you're *****ing about what I said won't change my impression. </p>
<p>-A</p>
<p>drugs aside, my favorite Cloyne story that i've heard is that someone dropped a jar of peanut butter near the stairs, and rather than clean it up, they posted a sign to be careful about the peanut butter and broken glass. </p>
<p>don't forget naked guy, another berkeley personality</p>
