are you okay? we miss you. we awaited the scream. where’d you go?

hey everyone! i'm currently looking into housing options around berkeley and could use some advice from people who have experience living near campus!
i'm mostly interested in off-campus apartments, preferably a 1 bedroom because having my own space and privacy is pretty important to me. i'm trying to figure out what's realistic in terms of rent and which areas are convenient for getting to campus. i'd still consider on-campus housing if there are options that offer a good amount of privacy, but i'd love to explore apartments first. i'm also curious whether there are any buildings that are particularly popular with students or any places i should avoid.

if you currently live in berkeley, where would you recommend looking? any advice about rent, utilities, transportation, or the general experience of living alone would be super helpful! thank you!! :)

Does anyone know anything about this class? Couldn't find the course website. If you have taken it or know anything about it, is it worth taking? Even if I take CS 189? Any recommendations on the order between CS 189 and Data 188? How does it compare to CS 182?

Hi everyone! Been to several rocky horrors before at other venues, just bought tickets for the one at the Berkeley Theater on Halloween and so excited! Just wondering about etiquette in terms of outfits and everything? Generally I dress up pretty risqué and wanted to make sure I’m not showing up dressed as sexy Rocky if there’s gonna be families and everyone else is in sweatpants and hoodies. Hope this is the right place to ask!

We like to rant about scooter riders operating recklessly and breaking the law, but how many of us would support a law enforcement crackdown on scooter riders?

Hey yall! Does anyone have any big plans happening on Halloween night? Dm me or comment if you do :]

For anyone who previously took stat 151a, what raw score did you get & what grade did that translate to? bc i'm wondering if a raw of like 70 would be a solid B+/A- or cooked

Are there any boxing bags that are open to the public near or on campus? ik the martial arts rm in rsf have them but im p sure they’re reserved for ppl in clubs/classes. Ty!

I’m thinking about taking Math 104 with Noah Olander next semester. Has anyone taken his class before? How was the workload and grading?

Also, are there any other Math 104 professors you’d recommend?

Sophomore here w/ early registration. I don't care if I get the in-person or online lecture, but I do need to get into the class. Is it worth taking the risk? Do people typically get in during phase 2? Thanks!

I’m a community college student planning to transfer in Fall 2028 for Applied Math. I can cross-enroll at UCSD for three upper-division courses and am considering MATH 109, 100A, and 100B.
My goals are UCLA Applied Math departmental honors + the BS/MA Departmental Scholars Program, or Berkeley Applied Math honors (ideally with IEOR).
Would UCSD abstract algebra transfer toward either major? Could taking it prevent me from taking honors versions after transferring? Would you recommend different UCSD courses to maximize transferable major credit and prepare for graduate math/OR programs?
I’d especially appreciate advice from current Applied Math students or transfers who’ve pursued these programs.

To those who are MCB majors, what emphasis did you pick and why? What electives did you decide to take?

maybe it’s my problem but this class is genuinely so hard :( taking it as a math major and I feel like it’s harder than my upper div math classes 😭

Any student start ups looking to add extra firepower?

Hi Berkeley crew. Alum here, now figuring out my next move after years of SEO/Content, growth, sales experience, negotiating contracts, and Product Manager like work. My last role was SVP of Growth.of course it being 2026, a lot of AI use and custom tooling and flows has been necessary to learn.

As I’m looking for my next thing, I’m most interested in start ups and feel I can bring a lot to the table. Not all opportunities are found on job boards and some may be in the scrappy stages. If you’ve got something in the works with a little motion and could use some help growing, let me know. For the right opportunity I could help some with capital too when it makes sense. And my tech network could prove helpful.

Even if you want to casually chat, DM me.

thoughts 😭😭😭

Has anyone taken philos 132 with Geoffrey Lee and if so how was it?

Hello, any thoughts on this class ? im trying to take it along with a upper div physics lab and 137B QM, anyone that can talk about the problem sets, exams and overall workload ?

Is this just the website, or did they stop selling sweatshirts or t-shirts that say “Berkeley” or “UC Berkeley”? It’s all just Cal/California branded stuff

Getting rid of the academic branding that we’re known for to focus on the branding of our (shitty) athletics seems like a dumb decision.

I want to take espm 50ac and im rausser (which is given priority during phase 1 and 2 before opening up to everyone in adjustment) but that would make my schedule over 13.5 units which is the max for phase 1. I am thinking of enrolling in this class during phase 2, which my enrollment date is Nov 23. There are 735 spots, do you think I'll be able to get in?

Or does anyone know any other good and easy sociology, public health, anthropology, psychology classes ?
