<p>hahaha i dont know–i have to see what kind of FA package usc gives me before i can even consier it</p>

<p>o__o;;</p>

<p>Wow, sure is crazy in this thread!</p>

<p>I’m currently a Cal student, was on the forums last semester and during this time I really wished I could get some insight from (then) current students! </p>

<p>That being said if anyone has any questions, don’t hesitate to send me a PM or leave a comment! </p>

<p>Oh and the whole UCLA v Cal thing, it’s an Honor to get into either one of these schools and you should be proud of yourself for achieving that. Everyone whom you speak to is going to have a bias and no matter how much you want to give in because of what so-and-so said, you yourself and only you have that decision to make. </p>

<p>Good luck to you all!</p>

<p>@sakurax you just made yourself a very popular man! PM on the way :smiley: But I guess to begin,
if you don’t mind just answering, generally, do you like Cal?<br>
What do you like about it?<br>
Do you agree with the whole idea that our lives may be miserable there because of how competitive it is?<br>
Are you in a fraternity? Do you like it?
Do you go to the Football games? Do you like them?
Are you in a dorm or off campus housing? Which would you recommend going to Cal?</p>

<p>Thanks man</p>

2685

<p>I’m anthro for UCLA! </p>

<p>There’s an all male acapella group at UCLA called Bruin Harmony that my friend is in. They’re singing “Down” by Jay Sean. They also got casted to sing “I Swear” (by All 4 One) in a movie with Justin Timberlake in it. </p>

<p>[YouTube</a> - Bruin Harmony - Down (Jay Sean)](<a href=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_yFs6tZJpw]YouTube”>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_yFs6tZJpw)
They’re really crazy and high energy. Look out for the Lil Wayne rap done by the white guy and Pau Gasol look-a-like in the corner.</p>

2686

<p>erikuh you and me are the new Team Anthro at UCLA Fall 2010
forget about these boys. UCLA ftw!!!</p>

<p>i just convinced my self that the semester system sucked, i hope i dont have a change of mind like these guys!</p>

2687

<p>@lintj It was our first speech and the assignment was to speak about ANYTHING, we just had to follow the mechanics that he requested… the other ones required research and what not. The other top speeches were about TiVO and I can’t remember what else lol. most of them were about why people like to work out or what major they chose BOOOORING. We had to announce our topic out loud and I was the last so I thought I’d spice things up.</p>

2688

<p>jane - I HATE semester system. My interest in a class usually wanes after 2 months.</p>

2689

<p>quarter system is great</p>

2690

<p>erikuh girlfriends for life!</p>

<p>semester system sux…yeah i have a short attention span.</p>

2691

<p>@jane but I’m still a member of Team Anthro! And possibly of UCLA! :smiley:
@erikuh that was an awesome vid - makes me want to join an a capella - I might make a good backup singer, don’t think i have a solo voice haha</p>

2692

<p>Team evannn</p>

2693

<p>Can someone explain the difference between the quarter and semester system? In detail? At my CC, I have the semester system, and yes, I do lose attention very fast. With a quarter system, would I basically be done with classes by the time I take my mid-terms with the semester system? </p>

<p>Also though, how much longer does it take to get through classes - like do they just break all classes into two parts? Would an “anthro 250” class that takes one semester come in Anthro 250A and Anthro 250B in a quarter system?</p>

2694

<p>Hahahaha! To solidblu, I will try and answer your questions to the best of my ability.</p>

<p>Do you like Cal?: I love Cal, it has been my dream school since I came back to the States after being in Asia. Sidenote, UCLA was my dream school when I was in middle school (still in the States) I don’t know why that faded…</p>

<p>What do you like about it? It’s hard to pin point one specific thing, and I’m trying not to be cheesy, but I love all of it. I love the environment here, all the opportunties we have (clubs, jobs, etc etc…) the professors, etc. Of course, many people from other schools will say the same thing but Cal is just…different<3 </p>

<p>Do you agree with the whole idea that our lives may be miserable there because of how competitive it is? : I do and don’t. For myself personally, I’m Asian and I’m a Psychology major. I am planning on going into Graduate School asap after graduating, so yes, I have to be competitive. Being competitive is one of those things that you either accept and do or ignore and don’t care. Being Asian and Korean, it’s tough. A bunch of other Koreans have this group where they show off their grades, it’s crazy competitive but the way I see it, if I’m doing my best and don’t regret not studying enough for that midterm after taking it, then I’m good. Cal is one of the few places where you can choose to be competitive or not, again, depending on your major and other factors. At a place like Harvard, get real, lol. Bottom line is, if you can be competitive and really be able to handle it, then go for it, if not, then just stay back. Just because you stay back doesn’t mean you won’t be a threat! </p>

<p>Are you in a fraternity? Do you like it?: I am not, I’m not into that kind of stuff…LOL. </p>

<p>Do you go to the Football games? Do you like them?: When I was in high school back in SD, I hated those football games. I hated hearing about them, I hated the pep rallies, everything, it was just a waste of time for me. Then I got here…and I realized…wow…
I don’t know if it’s that whole college football thing, but school pride is a pretty serious thing here and no matter who you are, what your interests are whatever, you’ll get swept up! It’s pretty exciting! So yes, I do go when I can and I <3 them!</p>

<p>Are you in a dorm or off campus housing? Which would you recommend going to Cal?: I am currently in an apartment off campus because I felt the apartments (for transfer students) are much too expensive. I share the apartment with two other girls, whom I love<3 Both bring forth experiences that I cannot begin to describe! My first year of college I attended a private university and know the dorm experience and have even spent a couple of nights at the dorms (late-night study sessions, lol) and either way, you’re bound to enjoy both. </p>

<p>Hope it helped!</p>

2699

<p>If you don’t get into UCLA, most of you won’t have any other option better than Cal. I personally won’t care about my Cal decision if I get into LA.</p>
