Hi! I’m doing FPF Berkeley with an intended Physics or Maths major. I had a few questions:

  1. Would you say that FPF Berkeley puts you behind on earning your degree? I heard that the unit limit for FPF Berkeley is 13, but I’m not 100% sure.

  2. Do many people have bikes to get around campus and/or the Berkeley or San Fran area, or are there bike sharing systems? I’m international so obviously a car wouldn’t be an option, and biking seems like an easy way to get around campus (but I’m not sure if the campus is hilly or flat).

  3. What would you recommend for a meal plan (for someone who eats 3 meals a day/21 per week)? The Ultimate Access one is the only one that provides at least 21 meals per week, but from the other options it seems that some people don’t eat at a Cal dining location most of the time. Where do people eat, and what’s the “best” to do, in terms of both pricing/value and quality meals?
