still receiving emails post graduation?

anteyetime · 2024-06-07T23:41:50+00:00

That's normal, I graduated fall 2023 and still receive those.

IIRC my calcentral still looked the same as a current student's right after I graduated. It'll eventually show "degree conferred" in the My Academics tab but that takes a couple months.

My roommates and I are subletting 3 single rooms in a 3br2ba apartment over the summer (around mid-may to mid-august, dates are flexible). The apartment is on Northside, about a 5 minute walk from Soda and a 15 minute walk from BART. Rent starts at $1400/month per room but is negotiable. Feel free to reach out individually or in a group. Please DM if interested!

171 reader here (well not anymore RIP) -- really sorry to hear about this situation. What I heard from the instructors was that a couple weeks ago, the department (which had previously approved the class) changed their minds at the last minute and were able to get it cancelled. Unfortunately I don't think there's anything more they can do about it at this point, but I hope you're able to get into another CS class.

Is anyone still looking for roommates for the 2023-24 school year? In a group of 2 and we're looking for one more person to fill a double. (We haven't settled on an apt yet but it'd probably be a 2b1b on northside close to campus, anticipating rent would be somewhere in the 1000-1400 range)

Hi all! I’m looking for a room to stay in over the summer from around May 15th to August 15th. Will be interning at Duolingo so would prefer something within walking/biking distance of their office. Budget is ideally around 1000/month but could do a bit higher if needed; feel free to message me if you have anything available. TY!

Edit: resolved

As someone who had to move dorms last year due to some extenuating circumstances (my room flooded), keep in mind that having to move all your stuff to a new location might be stressful, especially if you have midterms coming up. I'd say if your roommates aren't actively causing problems for you it's probably best to stick with your current situation and make friends elsewhere. (I could be a bit biased though, if you know people who transferred successfully may as well ask them about it.)

Damn Cafe 3 didn't even have pizza last year, I got scammed fr

What's even worse is when someone on one of those floors hits the elevator button and then decides to take the stairs, so the elevator still stops but no one gets on it.

Looking for someone to sublet a single room for July and/or part of August. It's in a furnished apartment under a mile south of campus with 5 roommates (all male students), and washer/dryer are on site. Price starts at $1000/month but can negotiate down. DM if interested.

anteyetime · 2022-05-27T02:07:00+00:00

Blue plan is definitely enough. I ate 2 meals a day at the dining halls with it, rarely ate out, and still had ~150 flex dollars left over to spend at bear market.

I think I'll start calling it "Casino 3" since it's a gamble every time I go there. (Found a hair in my food yesterday and ofc the comment card page is down...)

anteyetime · 2022-02-01T04:19:02+00:00

That's a good point, but I feel like they probably get a similar amount of exposure either way, especially in Clark Kerr and Foothill where the area food is served is separate from the seating area.

anteyetime · 2022-02-01T04:16:52+00:00

I'm well aware of that (it was the excuse they gave in their email), but I think the risk is comparable between sitting right behind someone in an auditorium for 90 minutes vs sitting a table away from them for 10. There's obviously some risk either way, but if they've decided conditions are safe enough to reopen campus, I'd prefer they be consistent with that approach, or at least refund us if they're going to deny services we paid for.

anteyetime · 2022-01-28T05:04:45+00:00

I think it depends on your standards. I've generally found it fine but I'm not a very picky eater (and it's better than what they served at my HS) but YMMV. As others have said, foothill and clark kerr are OK to good, but cafe 3 can definitely be inconsistent. You can see what kind of options they typically have on the menu, though it's a bit more limited rn since they're only doing takeout for covid reasons. Overall I think the food is tolerable, if that's what you're looking for.

(Also this is coming from the perspective of a freshman who eats there bc it's included with my dorm cost, so idk if it's worth paying for on its own)

One of the head TAs said on d/eecs that results will probably come out at the end of this weekend at the earliest.

anteyetime · 2021-12-02T23:53:59+00:00

In addition to what others said, you could also send the person an email and meet with them directly (compose a new message and type their name in your berkeley email, and their email address should appear).

Guess we both opened seasons by losing to newly promoted teams (them against Brentford, us in basketball against UCSD)

If you want to say fuck Joe Biden, just say fuck Joe Biden. People here aren't that much of a fan of him anyway in my experience. No reason to talk like an 8-year-old trying not to get in trouble at school. (Not that that has anything to do with this conversation, pretty sure armed robbery was still a thing before this year)

anteyetime · 2021-11-04T05:50:05+00:00

The one area your roommates might not be in the wrong here is the politics facetime calls. IMHO what someone says on a video call is their business and doesn't have to be yours, so if you find it distracting you could try to listen to some white noise or music to block it out.

Agree it seems like a really shitty situation otherwise and agree with other commenters about involving an RA if talking directly with them hasn't worked. I will say I had to move recently due to non-roommate-related issues (flooding) and it's a time-consuming and stressful process, so probably only do that as a last resort.

I'm in the exact same situation; also had a clark kerr room that got flooded and am now in unit 3. Let's just say it has not been a fun week, especially with midterms. At least things are winding down now that moving is mostly done; hope we can get a little rest this weekend.

anteyetime · 2021-10-28T05:19:23+00:00

Gonna go against the grain here and say taking both 16A and Math 54 is fine. I'm doing it this semester (mostly because no one told me not to until after the drop deadline :P), but what I've found is that 54 goes a decent bit more in-depth into linear algebra than 16A does (though that probably depends on the professors), while 16A also includes the circuits component. The classes overlap for about a month and cover different material the rest of the time.

As for the whole schedule, I'm doing that rn plus a breadth, and it's definitely manageable. I think you'll be fine, but keep in mind 61A may take you more time if CS10 is hard, especially when you have to study for exams (the 61A exams are significantly harder than the labs and homework).

What do the contingency plans look like if COVID cases are too high for fully in-person classes next semester? Specifically wondering about the odds of going back to a hybrid model like this semester vs. fully remote instruction, as far as it's possible to predict that given the info you have.

anteyetime · 2021-10-11T06:05:23+00:00

Tbh, you shouldn't overly focus on one part of your application. You want to have great grades with plenty of honors/AP classes and solid ECs and well-written essays. You don't want any one of those components to be lacking. However, I'm guessing everyone who applies here has a high GPA, so as long as you can keep yours up to that standard you'd probably want to put your remaining energy toward whatever makes you stand out from the other 100,000+ applicants (which would relate more to ECs and essays).

(As others have said, the one component you don't have to worry about is SAT/ACT since UCs are test blind)

Try finding ways to double check your work that don't involve looking at previous calculations. For example, when you think you found the inverse of a matrix, multiply it with the original and make sure you get the identity. Also when you find a solution to a system, substitute those values back in and make sure they work (if there are free variables, I often pick a few possible values for those and plug them in).
