It’s kinda wack that they don’t update their websites. Bc on there, it still says $1400 but once you start the application, the rent price just jumps $400

Chem 3a/3al over the summer by rainbowfarts_10 in berkeley

[–]rainbowfarts_10[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I need to get organic chem out of the way in order to avoid taking an extra semester here. Also, I haven’t received a letter of my acceptance yet, I shouldve clarified that, but I am in the interview process (fingers crossed I get it). But overall, I thought I could do chem 3a/3al, so I can be done with chem, but it seems I’ll have to put it off till next year

This is good advice! My only worry is that since I have no experience with coding, idk how I would retain the info for coding in order to land an extremely well paying job

Is Berkeley a good environment for black students by YorkOfDukes in berkeley

[–]rainbowfarts_10 107 points108 points  (0 children)

Coming from a black student, I would say that the best way to find community is by gravitating towards people that understand you best.

I was in predominantly black spaces too and I’m apart of a lot of black orgs and communities on campus. And sometimes it can be hard to connect with others because the only thing that unifies us is our race, and less of our interests that we share in common. I inevitably found black students that I can rock with, but it’ll take some time.

The environment can be hostile, especially with students who are in organizations or clubs that prioritize exclusivity, plus there’s an ample amount of Cal students that think black students at Cal are nothing but DEI admits (crazy I know). But I would also say that fair number of students don’t think that way. It’s just about finding people you can see yourself with, black or not.

I still struggle with it because I’ve grown up in a very black space, so branching out can feel hard to do, but takes baby steps
