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!

University any recommendations on berkeley apartments
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!! :)

CS/EECS Data 188: Introduction To Deep Learning
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 I swear professors intentionally choose office hours when most people are in class.
The entire time I have been here, I have been able to attend 2 of my professors office hours, I have had class during all the others hours because they seem to all be around M-Th 11am-1pm, essentially peak class hours.
Also, I know I can schedule office hours but scheduling it just to pop in chat and network feels very uncomfortable compared to going with groups to ask various questions.

University ESPM 50AC Will it still be open during phase 2 to a rausser student
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 ?

CS/EECS deciding between eecs 126 and data c140
I wanna take a probability class next semester, i’ve heard some terrible things about eecs 126 so im kinda scared to take it. But I haven’t taken data c8 so I can’t take 140 since it’s a hard prerequisite. If I wanna take 140 i’ll have to wait another semester. Is there a huge benefit in taking eecs 126 over data c140?

Other UCLA vs Berkeley Applied Math — Honors, DSP, and Transfer Coursework
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.
