No Witch Hunts
This is also a site-wide rule, but it bears repeating. Do not post something that could be construed as organizing a movement or negative response against an individual or group. You may post names and/or pictures so long as the original source of this information is reputable. Qualifying sources are left entirely to Moderator discretion. Examples of a reputable source may include: the University, a reputable paper or journal, or a government source. This rule only applies to people or groups who are not public entities.
No Advertisements, Promotions, Surveys
You may not advertise or promote any product or service of absolutely any kind in this subreddit. Examples of an advertisement or promotion may include: job openings, housing requests, apps, websites, surveys, and/or campaigns. Exceptions may be allowed with moderator approval.
You can troll, but there are limits
Trolling itself is not against the rules. However, any trolling that qualifies as excessive, confrontational, or aggressive is not allowed. Moderators make the final call as to where the dividing line is - so be nice.
Use original titles
All news articles, or articles of any kind, must be submitted with the same title as the title of the article being linked. We'll remove any threads that violate this rule (since titles can't be edited after submission), and repeat offenders may be banned.
To assign your own flair, click the "edit" button next to your name on the right-hand bar. Any inappropriate flair will be removed and repeat offenders banned permanently. If you suspect someone is using official "UC Staff" flair and posing as a fake staff member, message the mods and we will remove it.

i'm a mech e major planning to minor in eecs - why doesn't cs61a replace e7?? can i petition for the substitution? i'm planning on taking cs61b and i heard that e7 isn't all that great of a class...
referencing this which says cs61a cannot replace e7: https://me.berkeley.edu/undergraduate/semester-advising/#:\~:text=Starting%20Fall%202015%2C%20CS%2061A,Human%2DCentered%20Design%20Course%20Thread.
alternatively: is it worth it to take both e7 and cs61a...? or just thug it out next semester in 61b lmao
Early results usually come around the 1st/2nd week of February. Has anyone started seeing any signs of portal astrology that work this year? Do last year's signs work for anyone?
I'm in Session A, lowkey idk if I even want to take it as it's not a requirement for the philosophy minor, but I figure it'll be useful. Anyone else in my session/taking logic during the summer?
I recently moved to Berkeley end of December and I want to fight people. Any ideas for where I should go?
I need to do this tomorrow with a short amount of time. Somedays it's bumper to bumper, some days it's smooth sailing. How's it been lately? Thanks, go bears!
The American Dream
A million armored vehicles thunder towards our communities
To imprison us at the crack of dawn.
Riding under the banner of a movement which forces
Acknowledgement that the old dream is dead, buried, and gone.
We are immigrants who’ve been outlawed
By the other immigrants who came before,
Or more accurately,
The descendants of those who robbed, murdered, and plundered
Their way on to freedom’s shore.
Lady Liberty weeps at the sight
Of the “huddled masses yearning to break free”
Who were given up to our oppressors without a fight,
By a counter-intuitive and most brutal decree.
What fate awaits us in this prison, far from where we called home?
Is it truly the American dream to be forced away,
To be turned out and left broken, battered, and crying alone?

I recently moved to Berkeley end of December so I’m quite new to the area. Today I was almost hit by a homeless man shouting in the McDonalds on Shattuck. He was swinging around a backpack and luckily I dodged. I’m thankful he didn’t follow me out. I live and work in North Berkeley. So I want to know where it’s safe to walk. I grew up in Cupertino/San Jose and it was my first time experiencing violence.
I have a Camry that I need to get some body work done on. Preferably a shop that won’t rip off a girl who doesn’t know much about cars 🙏
my friends and i are thinking about signing a lease to all live together in a unit here. i’ve seen pretty negative reviews on reddit and i want to know for anyone living here currently if it’s changed?
i post this in an act of desperation. i lost my pink hydroflask that's covered in stickers today (2/3). i think i probably left it at the kiklo cafe in stanley, though it might have been my latimer discussion (though i checked the classroom and it wasnt there). if anyone has it/saw it please let me know! would check the stanley lost and found if it was open but alas.
Hello! Where r some places to print things now that moffit is closed? tyyyy

Hi! I’m a math and Econ major and I’d love to start tutoring (partially to make money, but more so just bc I love teaching). I’m fairly confident I’d be good at it bc I did a lot of it unofficially in high school and even now for my roommates and other dorm mates.
I’m aware that the university offers tutoring services but
and 3) I’ve heard it pays less (which is def the least of my concerns)
My biggest question is how to get started getting my name out to other people - the only people I tutored last semester were people I met in class
I’d love to hear from people who’ve either tutored here (at Cal) received tutoring or anyone who thinks they can help me!
It's hard not to be smug to your classmates when you're elevated and your buttocks are being gently and perfectly supported.
Hi there! I'm planning on graduating early and was wondering if there are usually single semester leases or sublets that open up? I need housing for the Fall 2025 semester only and don't want to take on a full year's lease. Is on-campus housing my best bet? Message me if you are subletting or are studying abroad in the Fall and need someone to take over your lease!!
