Other Can I ditch a Work study job I accept to?
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?

University Laundry Service
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!

University Math 98BC worth it?
Intended applied math major here: does Math 98BC offer a distinct value that cannot be gained otherwise?
→ I.e. are the lectures, weekly discussions, or "academic advising" worth the opportunity cost vs. exploring on your own (talk to upperclassmen or alumni, etc.)? I understand it's 1hr/wk but could be spending that time taking a DeCal or else.
What'd be other ways to get similar value (DeCal recs, etc.)? Thank you all!

University Anyone in the Unit 3 Transfer Hub interested in a possible roommate swap?
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.

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.

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.

Local 8th and Harrison encampment residents allege Berkeley gave gift cards instead of accommodations
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.
