The Official UCB Fall of 2014 Decisions Thread

<p>@ocnative‌ haha hopefully. The student store opens at 10 on Saturday >:) I’ll be the one buying up all the mediums haha</p>

<p>@ocnative‌ </p>

<p>So, I see you’ve adopted my idea to use the official seal of the school you SIR’d to. Excellent. :D</p>

<p>Way to steal Cayton’s avatar OC :stuck_out_tongue: </p>

<p>@Cayton‌ </p>

<p>Of course! It just felt like the right thing to do :slight_smile: </p>

<p>Lol…@Zalrons </p>

<p>Wow, everyone’s avatar looks the same now! </p>

<p>How did the bridges weekend go for anyone that went?</p>

<p>@CalBruin‌
Who said i didn’t already buy all the mediums during Transfer Weekend? :stuck_out_tongue:
There wasn’t any medium for certain styles when I was there though… Better hope they restocked </p>

<p>@CalBruin‌ @Loyshi</p>

<p>I really hope they overstock in mediums then, lol.</p>

<p>Oh no! Haha Hopefully I’ll find some cal shirts for myself in medium and I’m thinking of getting my mom the Berkeley mom shirt to kick off Mother’s Day </p>

<p>So any words on Regents yet guys?</p>

<p>@CSB111 It was definitely a helpful experience. Many people I spoke to said it helped them make up their mind either way. Personally I was hesitant on Berkeley (especially the neighborhood around) but upon going there I practically felt in love. You FEEL smarter just being on that campus…and everyone I ran into was helpful or at least willing to help. Yes, the homeless/street vendors might be a bit of a culture shock but from what I exoerienced, they respect the fact that you’re a student and don’t bother you. Besides, I’m from LA so this whole homeless thing was nothing new to me nor should it be to anyone living in most urban areas.</p>

<p>They gave us tours of the campus, the town around, and we even went to SF which was a nice surprise. The group that went was VERY diverse and I really liked that. Anyway sorry for the long post, if you have any other questions about it just ask!</p>

<p>@Loyshi Now that we ve gone to TW im curious to know who you are! Haha</p>

<p>@ocnative GL with the mediums haha…its definitely a struggle. Seems most UCB males fit right into that size.</p>

<p>@SoCalLife310‌
Let’s play the guessing game. I’m a stem major. Guy. Norcal. I think that’s enough to narrow it to just me. </p>

<p>@Loyshi Aloysius? </p>

<p>I’m glad to hear transfer weekend was nice @SoCalLife310!
Did they give you guys any particular insight into financial aid, study abroad, or how to declare your major once you actually get to Cal?</p>

<p>@SoCalLife310‌
That’s lame… that was way too quick. </p>

<p>@AnthroFlo‌
i asked the organizer, turns out about 10-20% of the people who got in didn’t go. Maybe you could of had a chance. lol
i don’t think I heard much about those topics because maybe i chose different workshop specifically to housing, but i think those can be answered during the Reception on the 10th or Calso. IMO the transfer weekend gave us an insight on Berkeley that couldn’t be given elsewhere… (<em>cough</em> Roch *cough) and that they didn’t repeat information that would have been attainable with a little research by ourselves.</p>

<p>That’s a bummer to hear @Loyshi :frowning:
But they didn’t take me off the waitlist so there wasn’t really anything I could have done.
What did you learn about housing?</p>

<p>Lol I agree with Loyshi…we sure did get an interesting perspective of Berkeley. @AnthroFlo‌ We basically learned what kinda housing fits your style. Reading about it doesn’t do it justice. Like for example, before the weekend I was deadset on applying to live in a co-op but after this weekend I will absolutely never do such a thing haha. </p>

<p>@SoCalLife310‌ </p>

<p>Interesting…why not a co-op anymore?</p>

<p>@ocnative‌ Lets just say that if you plan on actually graduating with a decent GPA/any sanity, a co-op might not be the best idea haha. Basically they (along with frat houses) are the party hotspots. So the co-ops get used and abused on a weekend-ly basis and the residents get very little sleep on the weekends. Super fun place to hang out though!</p>
