University Financial aid adjusted an hour before I am supposed to enroll for classes in my final semester

• Upvotes

I am low income and a Regent’s Scholar so my financial aid covers tuition + on campus housing. This semester was the same as other semesters, everything covered, my balance paid in full by August. I checked yesterday my CalCentral, no holds, ready to enroll for classes, great. I check today around noon, same thing. My enrollment time is today 1:20pm. I sign into CalCentral at my allotted time and guess what? One of my grants is suddenly “not applied yet” and now I have a hold in my account! I owe $4,000 and I am not allowed to enroll to classes until I pay it off. Mind you, I don’t have $4,000 just laying around, you know? Spring is supposed to be my last semester here, I am graduating next semester.

Has this happened to anyone else? What should I do? I’m going in person right now to talk to financial aid but unsure if they will be able to help me and how long that will take. Also, if this is correct, I wish they could have given me a few days notice, you know? Not just an hour to figure all of this out.

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?

University any recommendations on berkeley apartments

12 Upvotes

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!! :)

Events/Organizations Rocky horror etiquette

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!
