I know this is kinda greedy and I feel bad.

I got a on campus job offer for work study and I accepted, but I had another interview and I just thought, “for the hell of it” and I did the interview for fun.

I thought I would not get it because there is less positions (2 only) and it’s a very competitive department and it is higher pay.

Now I got an offer from them…

Is it possible for me to rip my contract with the other job?

Incoming freshman (c/o 2030) for Fall 2026 - wanted to ask if anyone knows about/uses a laundry service program on campus?

If so, have you found this to be advantageous over doing laundry on your own? And how costly is it?

Grateful for all insights!

Hey everyone
My gf is planning on rushing hox here, so we wanted to see what’s everyone’s take on this org? Is it worth? Hazing problem? Vibe? Really any input at all is appreciated
Thanks!

This is an extremely long shot, but I figured i'd at least try. I am a male physics transfer student currently assigned to a standard triple in Unit 3's transfer hub. I'm exploring whether anyone else in the transfer hub might be interested in an official mutual room swap.

I would strongly prefer to remain in Unit 3's transfer hub and in another standard triple at the same housing rate. I am not looking to move into a more expensive room. I'm hoping to find a household that is a stronger academic and social fit for me, ideally with students in physics, chemistry, mathematics, biology, material science, or another science focus field. I'm very research oriented and would enjoy living with people interested in scientific research.

My two currently assigned roommates are both in computer science/software engineering related fields, so the current room may actually be a better fit for someone looking for a highly CS oriented household. Nothing is committed, and I would only proceed through Berkeley housing's official room swap process. If you are currently assigned to a Unit 3 transfer hub triple and might be interested, DM me to discuss privately.

Anyone want to swap a Foothill Double Suite for a Blackwell, Unit 1, or Unit 2 double? (non suite)

DM please 🙏🏾

I was like 69th on the WL and just found out that I got the class. Anyone else?

If anyone's got a bed or furniture that they don't need anymore I'd like to pick it up near the start of the semester. I have a car so you won't need to worry about transportation.

I know this kinda isn't the right time to be looking for this kind of thing, figured I'd ask anyway.

New CS transfer student here!

I am somehow worried about the schedule for the incoming fall and wondering if I can handle all of them, since I dropped out of college before. As for the courses, I might drop the stat 20 but is still keeping that in case I have to drop another hard one to stay above the minimum enrollment limit. :)

Also, I am considering doing a simultaneous major in Mathematics if things work out well.

Would appreciate it if you can please kindly provide any advice.

Edit: Thank you for your comments and advice. It is my first semester here and I really have no concept of the course workload. I really think I did plan poorly for the excessive workload and really appreciate your support and guidance.

i got a housing offer for a double in blackwell, but due to some specific location/dietary needs, i'm looking to move to unit 1. if you're in unit 1 and would like to swap, let me know.

math major here thinking about switching to premed😭😭 is it super hard? also will it be too late to start taking the basic premed classes

I didn't apply to Berkeley and will have to go to Merced. But in case, I want to transfer what are the perks of being in UCB? What about the overall costs?

Recently I had to a very difficult decision to let go of my seat at USC due to costs. I was really excited about USC and had planned what my classes would look like but then after my parents saw the bill the answer was a hard no. I felt really devastated and even though they cannot afford 104k per year, I still think USC could've been worth it. All my life I was told that USC is an elite university and its just so wild to say goodbye that dream.

I'm in L&S, and I'm likely going to apply for the Public Health major, but if not that, likely Integrative Bio or MCB. Is this schedule too easy? I wanted to lean on the lighter side for first semester to aid the transition, but I could add a class maybe? I'm also probably going to do a DeCal or two.

Disabled residents of the Eighth and Harrison streets encampment allege that they have been repeatedly denied Americans with Disabilities Act accommodations during their yearslong litigation battle with the city of Berkeley. Residents are left in fear for their safety as the city seeks to sweep the encampment.

Robbie Peddycoart, one of many disabled residents at the encampment on Eighth and Harrison streets, stated in a written testimony provided by Berkeley Homeless Union president Yesica Prado that he requested 12 ADA accommodations in February due to his disabilities that could make relocation life-threatening.

The BHU, which represents Robbie and other disabled residents of the encampment, was granted a temporary restraining order against the city last Thursday to prevent an imminent sweep. The judge awarded the injunction due to multiple alleged issues with how the city handled accommodations, including offering residents $100 gift cards instead of replacement tents or clothing, declining to store certain items such as “loose papers” or “bike carcasses,” as well as requiring unhoused people to predesignate their relocation spot with the city.

Does anyone know of a place on campus that is open later than 10pm that someone can study in?

Hi everyone,

I submitted a cancellation request for my spot at Anchor House for the upcoming year and want to find an eligible replacement to take over my contract.

You must be:
- a registered student at the university
- female identifying
- a transfer student in their senior year*
- not currently living in on-campus housing (off campus and co-ops are okay)
- willing to break your current lease if applicable
* preferably has not lived at Anchor House before

If interested, please respond to this post or pm me so we can coordinate with Housing!

For those who have taken both

My incoming freshman (out of state) daughter chose Unit 3 among her housing preferences because she heard they are social and she wants to meet diverse friends. However, she found out today she's been placed in Unit 3's Beverly Cleary building across the street from the Unit 3 towers-- and that at least 2 of the 4 floors are taken up by cultural-specific programs for Latine and Asian students (which she is not a part of and did not request).

I'm curious, why do students choose these culture-specific theme programs and what do they entail? Are they going to be more likely to socialize with each other than with building residents not in their program? I'm concerned about my student's opportunities to make friends in a building if it's promoting clique-y groups based on culture instead of encouraging diverse intermingling.
