| *grateful that the "when will admissions decisions come out?!" threads ended*
Anyways, I'm a 2nd-year Psychobiology major (South Campus, biological sciences), so I can help with that. I can also help in research jobs, etc.
Welcome to UCLA (but it's still Finals week for me). |

| "do you know what happened to the dead dude at the pool?"
from what i heard, he broke into sunset rec after hours with his fraternity (alcohol was had). they pulled the tarps back a tiny bit and he went swimming but got trapped under the tarp and drowned. from what everyone told me he was an amazing guy who did a lot for the school. its really sad.. | |

| lol. there's a short questionnaire you fill out. by short i mean 3 questions- cleanliness, drinking/smoking, sleep is all i can remember.
BE HONEST. do not say you are a "very neat" person just so that you won't get a slob roomie. i did that and got two neatfreaks who kept moving my stuff... | |

| 1. How is the quarter system different from the semester system with regard to the variety of courses you can take. Are shorter terms balanced by less material, so ultimately the same amount of course material is taken, or does quarter system get more done? Are classes like Calculus, in which you'd learn about differentiation first sem and integration/series in the second, would the course material be spread out over three quarters instead?
2. I've heard that it's harder to switch majors @ Berkeley. My admissions decision e-mail said that we can change majors at orientation. Is it really that easy to change a major?
3. How good is the Business Economics major with regard to access to a wide variety of courses (like graduate business courses?) Are there lots of good electives?
4. Some of my friends say that they enter as sophomores or even juniors. Does this mean that if I go to UCLA, that I can take whatever courses I want to and just relax/study abroad, and then get a degree in two/three years?
5. Is there a limit on the number of freshman seminars? Provided that you register early enough, are you likely to be enrolled in the seminars that you choose, even if you take multiple (3+ lets say)?
6. Can you choose classes based on which professors you want? On rateyourprofessors.com, it seems like the information is there so students can make informed decisions...but then if you could simply choose your professor, then some professors would fill up too quickly...Are some classes taught by multiple professors?
7. Can you request a 3 person dorm? How likely is this to be approved?
8. Are the good dorms generally more expensive? Can you choose which one?
9. When I sign up for classes for the Fall Quarter 2008, when should I do so to guarantee that they won't fill up?
Thanks. | |
