Potential econ major, heard the department doesn’t really grade deflate like some of the more stem-y stem departments. What are your experiences?

(Longtime Redditor, throwaway account, not a Zachary’s shill) 

Hi Berkeley. I posted this over in /r/bayarea and /r/oakland a couple months ago. Since only 5 of the 15 gift certificates have been discovered, I wanted to spread the word in some nearby subreddits.

For as long as I’ve been eating at Zachary’s pizza, I’ve wanted to have a painting featured on one of their walls. They hold art contests every few years and if your painting is selected, there is a cash prize of $150. Knowing this, I specifically designed a painting that contains a puzzle that leads to fifteen $10 Zachary’s gift certificates. Yes, it is a painting in a pizza restaurant that gives away free pizza.

You can read more about it here:

• https://www.sfgate.com/food/article/zacharys-pizza-treasure-hunt-19627053.php

If you go to Zachary's on Grand to try to solve this puzzle, the one thing that I can’t stress enough is to just be cool. Don’t touch the paintings, don’t cause a traffic bottleneck in their restaurant, don’t climb on anything, etc. Zachary’s didn’t ask for me to meddle in their business with my little game, but they’re being cool about announcing it with me. So just be cool and enjoy the pizza!

hi! i’m new to reddit but i thought i’d hop on here and ask. i’ve got an old retired thoroughbred that i’m hoping to bring with me when i start at berkeley, ive been doing some research on barns but they are all super (like unreasonably) expensive. i was wondering if there is anyone on here that might know of any good spots? I am not looking for lessons, just a place that cares and takes care of their horses, and preferably has a pasture. thanks!

Has anyone taken Sociology 130ac with Joanna Reed? Need to know if the final is a take home! tyy

My boyfriend is in desperate need of some basketball friends/basketball courts where he can join pick up games. What are some public courts that are popular to play basketball at?

Yeah I know, no one ever reads these things but maybe we should start. In our spare time, let's start a civil war against rapacious attorneys.

Trying to find someone to take over my spring semester lease. I’ve been procrastinating on it so now I’m getting kind of desperate. What’s the fastest way to find someone?

hey guys! can you describe your role as a chem reader? what are responsibilities, are you assigned to a professor with whom you work with in the position?

Probably this has been asked before, in that case please provide a link to the discussion. Google search wasn't super helpful.

I'm trying to find:

1. acceptance rate
2. ability to switch between the two
3. potential research areas

I’m applying to Berkeley and got an email to send in rec letters. Is this for anyone who applied with a selective major?

Anyone taking ESPM C22AC right now and can share with me their experience so far? Mandatory lectures, HW, quizzes, exams, projects, etc.? Trying to gauge how much effort I need to put in for an A lol

I'm looking to sublease my single bedroom in my 2bed/1bath apartment for the spring semester (Jan-May). It is located on the Channing and Milvia cross-section (downtown). Rent is $1000, but I'm willing to negotiate. In building parking is available for $100 a month. You will live with my current male identifying housemate. He is chill. Fully furnished with wifi and utilities already set up. Water is included in rent, but wifi and electricity comes out to ~$50 every month. Laundry machines in building. Please reach out if interested.

California CCs cost as almost as much as Berkeley, and I'm not sure about the transfer options from CCs in my home state. Will I have to manually inquire with the CEU or an advisor for every course and get syllabi in advance? It would be optimal if I didin't have to pay nonresident supplemental tuition on CC credits because it ends up being $400+ per credit.

Has anyone else successfully accomplished this?

It doesn't say Closed or anything -- it just isn't there

(Intro to IR) Wondering if I can PM with some questions!

i'm a ds + math double major who's considering the cognition domain emphasis. to preface, i haven't done cog sci 1 yet but i have done math 55, cs 61a, cs61b, and calculus in high school. how hard would this class be with no cog sci/psych experience? as much of a no-brainer this question seems like, the grade average is incredibly high on berkeleytime but the professor's rating is really bad. i can't really seem to tell how bad this class will be on top of math 110 and data 100.

I’m a junior majoring in chemistry but I wanted to add a physics minor. I’ve tried talking to my counselor and they’re not being helpful on what classes I need to take. Is there anyone here who minored in physics? If so, did you need to take both the Chem 120 series and the Physics 137 series? Or did you only choose one?

Thanks!

how’s this schedule? currently taking 16b + 61c.

Currently we’re in the fall semester, and as a commuter I bought the off campus flex dollars. Will my flex dollars roll over into Spring semester, or do I have to start ordering more food now?

Any good side hustles? I am really anxious bc I just spent 50 dollars I don’t have on a background check for Rover. Does anyone have experience working for this site. I hope I can at least get my money back by being booked.

I wanted to let you all know that today is Giving Tuesday, and I am fundraising for an organization called Kesem!! Kesem is a national nonprofit organization run through college chapters that supports children who have been impacted by a parent or guardians cancer. Kesem has changed my life in many ways, and has brought me a community of support and love that I cherish very deeply. I have been in Kesem for 4 years now, and Kesem has hands down been the most meaningful thing I have done here at Berkeley. If you are able, please consider making a donation to my fundraising page here: https://donate.kesem.org/fundraiser/5848532

Any donation amount is helpful, and making a donation is easy and secure. Another way you could help me on this day is by spreading my fundraising link to others!! THANK YOU!!!

Is there somewhere I can check the menu now? They took croads off the dining site for some reason

Hi. I saw a group of students advocating Free Palestine at the gate today. They keep using big speakers with irritating noise. Can anyone please tell me what the purpose is? Thanks.

Does anyone at Berkeley know any student who speaks fluent Tagalog and Korean? Tryna do an interview with one of them!

there’s 25 spots on the waitlist and I’m the 19th one. The class size is 210

I know it’s hard to say but what do you think my odds are. Never been waitlisted for anything so I don’t know if I should be hopeful
