Hi,,, actually i might be going to UC berkeley, its a 70% im going there for sure, but I just wanted to know
from students that are actually going there like how the school is. is it really hard ? like the classes and everything?
and im also an athelete so I might be traveling around the country... i just wanted to see if its hard to keep up with
the classes and lectures after missing a couple of days of school.

I hope everyone had a nice "first-day"!

I hope the weather cools down soon... I cannot study in this weather, much less do anything that requires lifting myself from the couch.

There's some shady person living in the Americana apartments who is stealing everyone else's packages. I can't believe they took my book. I just might kick them into the pool if I ever find out who it was.

Aww, that sucks. Maybe you should leave a note to the mailman to not leave the packages in the open, especially if it's a reoccurring problem.

My former roommate lives in Americana... I heard a lot of Asians live there...

The first two days of school were sooo HOT! To top it off, my English class was all the way across campus UPHILL! >.<

[c a t h e r s]

^ as in north side? that sucks......haha.

i live on west side and i have classes in pimentel...latimer...straight up hill. =[

[JUJU bar]

I hate barker.

I'm so lazy I ride the perimeter bus to get there every morning.

[whoa]

my schedule sucks this semester >.<
i have classes scattered all throughout the day everyday

im going to be going to berkeley in january as a spring freshman, and im doing my housing application right now. so i was wondering, which dorms are the best? if you could tell me a lil about each housing option..that would be great thanks in advance

[Burning Chopstick]

I hear Unit 1 is pretty nice. Stern is the all-girls dorm I think. Don't know much more than that. =)

Yeah, it was hot again today also and tomorrow will be as well. English class at Morgan is so far~

If you're going to take science classes - unit 1, because it's close to latimer (chemistry labs) and pimentel (lectures for big classes like chemistry, biology, etc).

If you're going to take humanities/R1A/B (etc) courses - unit 3, because it's close to dwinelle.

If you're going to take architecture/art classes/music - unit 1 because it's close to wurster, kroeber, and morrison halls (respectively)

i mean, these are generalizations, but i lived in unit 1 and it was really nice when i had morning labs. plus you get to avoid all those flyers on sproul...

But when you take upper classes (esp in science) you're gonna wish you lived on north side. urghhhh, barker, tolman, gpb, morgan go to hell!

in the end, all the units are the same. except unit 2 is the farthest, but we're really talking about just a few blocks apart so whichever you get, you're still really close to campus. BUT, i'd say go with unit 1 because it's close to the asian ghetto, crossroads, ramonas, cafe strada (?), etc.

i hope i helped.

edit - oops, i only talked about the units. i'm only familiar with the units, so... clark kerr is far, but i heard they have better food. i never ate there so i don't know.

unit 3 is the way to go. not even kidding. lol. i lived there last year (hehe), but seriously, i loved it. go outside the building and you're right on telegraph, a street with well....it's like one of the main streets here. it's super close to asian ghetto, and although not as close as unit 1 and unit 2 to crossroads, in my opinion, cafe 3 is WAY better...plus it has bear market the other reason i liked it was that it's so close to sproul....and it's a good distance to the buildings on campus. Sure, you have to walk semi-uphill to the science classes...but i didn't mind that much, especially now since i live on west side and have to walk up hill every morning -______-"

unit 2 is far...clark kerr is it's own little island all the way up there. my co-worker was saying how you HAVE to be at the bus stop on time or else you're screwed. They have really big rooms though...but yeah. Foothill....has good late night. HAHa. umm...stern...? don't know about that one.
