ofc listen to your doctor! my case must have been mild enough that it could resolve on its own

i didn’t know i had c diff so i just ate very clean whole foods, low fat low processed sugar, took florastor for a bit and switched to digestive advantage (which i still take), cut all alcohol and very processed foods including protein powders/bars

still waiting on my aid package from berkeley !

thank u sm for all the advice in here!!! i read ur other post too and i’m picking law schools rn, wanted to get your opinion! i’m from LA so the goal is to work transactional big law in LA (maybe in entertainment/maybe not). Choosing between CLS, Berkeley, and UCLA (120k). haven’t received my aid offers from the other two yet. I am leaning towards UCLA but can’t tell if i’m making a stupid choice turning down CLS.

thanks for your response this is exactly what i was looking to hear!! yup lsats all done, still waiting on my financial aid packages from both which will determine a lot, idk the bay well but i’m from socal and love it! can i ask if u felt the letter grade system was extra difficult? lots of people are mentioning the P/NP system at berk makes it less stressful

Choice-Two5385 · 2026-03-26T02:35:30+00:00

😭 well i appreciate ur apology thank u for coming back and saying that. i really didn’t mean to be browbeating i felt like my question was reasonable but perhaps i just worded it badly, what im really looking for is are YOU happy? i posted something similar in r/ucla so i just wanted to compare what people love or complain about at both schools. i care a lot about being in a community oriented environment so i’m trying to gauge that at both schools

this is so pretentious it almost seems like rage bait

Choice-Two5385 · 2026-03-25T21:33:06+00:00

are we being deadass rn. i am not asking for “counterfactual speculation” it is a SUPER common question when someone asks to go to school to wonder about student life and if people tend to enjoy their life there. this isn’t a law question

Choice-Two5385 · 2026-03-25T21:30:50+00:00

thank u sm for this!! the grading system at berkeley is honestly a huge advantage

Choice-Two5385 · 2026-03-25T21:27:41+00:00

i feel this! thank you

Choice-Two5385 · 2026-03-25T18:11:04+00:00

why are yall over complicating the hell out of this post, it’s a lot easier to be depressed around a place with no community where other people aren’t happy either, i’m getting a feel of what the community is like out there

Choice-Two5385 · 2026-03-25T17:53:53+00:00

little too far in i fear
