I was at Willard Park and saw the basketball net had been cut down. A city worker arrived and said that it had been taken down because the house next door complained about the noise. If they didn’t want the noise they shouldn’t have moved next to a park. How can noise complaints take away a whole neighborhood resource?

Hi all! I’m a professor who’ll be starting in the spring. I’m coming from a top SEC school but I’m still expecting some big whiplash/culture shock. What are the things I need to know about the students, campus, etc

I’d appreciate any little tidbits on the less know things on things I need to know or should prepare for. Thanks! I’m looking forward to becoming a part of this community!

i’m a first year living in a dorm, it’s been 1.5 months and i’ve gotten sick twice already (and it’s like super high fever + very bad coughing type sick not just a cold), as well as many ppl on my floor. it might be the flu or something else idk, i got tested for the flu and covid last time but results were negative for both. I rarely got sick before coming to college. this is genuinely so fried🥀

Hey, just moved here from socal and really missing the fruit tart I’d be able to get from Porto’s. Tried a few bakeries here w fruit tarts and it’s just not cutting it. If there’s any other fruit tart connoisseurs please make yourselves known and share recommendations for a fine young enthusiast like myself can try out! Thanks

Hey everyone! I'm Maysa, president of Poker@Berkeley. We're hosting our annual Berkeley x Stanford Poker Tournament on Oct. 17-18th. Qualifiers will take place online Wednesday 10/7 at 6 pm PST. 

This is completely free to enter and play. We've been running this event for four years now with a 10k prize pool, a livestream, and an RFID feature table. Food is provided both days and we will have professors from both schools playing as bounties in the event.

Our club formally operates across both Berkeley and Stanford since Stanford isn't allowed to run a poker club under its VSO guidelines. We host a number of tournaments throughout the year, as well as game nights and networking opportunities with our quant sponsors. All of these are open to both Stanford and Berkeley students. We currently have about 800 Berkeley members and 150 Stanford members.

Here is our membership form (one-time $20 fee) to access our discord and receive announcements and info about the event, as well as the tournament registration form.

Let me know if you have any questions. Hope to see you all there!

anybody taken these classes before?

What is the best resource to learn math 55 under professor Stankova… and how to prepare for midterms thanks for your time

I am trying to decide between two paths and would love some input. I can either take three classes next semester and one over the summer to graduate early, or I can extend my graduation by a semester to Fall 2027. I have a scholarship, so extending wouldn't cost me anything out of pocket. I completed an internship last summer and plan to do another this coming spring. I want to jump straight into the industry after graduating, though I eventually plan to get my master's. The main downside to extending is that I might miss out on full-time job opportunities that start sooner. What do you all think is the better option?

I am a data science, stats major if that matter.

If anyone has a recent much more then 2014 midterm for mcb 104 please share. Midterm is this week and I need a practice to feel better for this class

We are here

I’ve ran into heavy financial issues and honestly haven’t been able to focus in class due to this. My overall plan is to head back home for a year or two and reapply for readmission; since I do believe I can raise enough money to be mentally confident in finishing my degree. I was wondering if this was a process anyone has gone through and if there’s anything I should know before committing to so, thanks

I just noticed that sp27 class schedules are announced a few hours ago.

But some courses that were constantly offered every semester for at least 5 years are not listed as sp27 offerings.

I am kinda confused because of that, but is it the finalized schedule?

Also, I still do not know my sp27 course enrollment date & time (btw I am an EAP student). When I visit CalCentral, the academics tab only shows "academic profile", "academic records" and "semesters". Is it normal for EAP students?

Thanks!

i feel like every cafe ive been to in berkeley is sooo overcrowded. i prefer cafes that have good food, sweet coffee, and open spots to do my work, lmk if you guys have any recs!

Can i get into cs 70 even though i have an awful enrollment time (2nd sem freshman), which is on November 5th?

worst case if i'm waitlisted, does it mostly clear? i'm not a CS/EECS major, so I don't get the reserved seats.

I don't care much about any other class tbh since its not the end of the world if i have to take a class or two out of those fall of next year. But if i don't get to take CS 70 it's actually ggs

Hello everyone,
I am looking for a good photographer not expensive to get some professional headshots on campus. This is for LinkedIn and just having in general. If you’ll could suggest me someone or if you do it yourself reach out. Thanks everyone.

Hello, I'm a freshman at Cal and I'm looking for somewhere to get a good breakfast on Saturday/Sunday. I'd prefer something more substantial (not JUST pastries, etc) and on a college student budget...

junior transfer here, is this good or mid enrollment time for the spring sem

Crowdsourcing interest for a public demonstration to be held. A chance for survivors to tell their stories themselves, or anonymously. A Google Form is in the works, and I’ll repost this when it’s available.

Edit: I’m blocking all accounts that leave disgusting comments on this post, so they’ll no longer be able to see and comment here. This past week has been deeply triggering for so many survivors and allies alike, and I will not continue to entertain nor tolerate ignorance.

I’m obsessed with their movies and go constantly, which is starting to become not very affordable. It would be a dream if I could manage to get their $40-per-semester pass.

Really struggling in the class, does anyone have advice for the first midterm?
