<p>Is. .</p>
<p>Not gonna bother fixing it since this isn’t a paper and the meaning gets through regardless ;P</p>
<p>
If you get a degree from Berkeley, I’m going to go ahead and assume that you’ll end up moving to a nicer/safer area after doing so. Actually, I’d pretty much guarantee it.</p>
<p>Berkeley is a beautiful city. Bums aren’t bad past the Telegraph/Shattuck area, and the real bad areas aren’t anywhere near campus.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Not sure if that’s literally directed at me, since I said some people and not I, but Berkeley is heavily inhabited by people called Yuppies :)</p>
<p>Some would probably classify Berkeley as on the verge of this Wikipedia definition:</p>
<p>“A yuppie slum or yuppie ghetto refers to any neighborhood that is largely populated by a young well-off crowd, but often has other connotations of gentrification and rising rental and dining costs in a previously low-rent neighborhood.”</p>
<p>
I showed my friend that exact quote to which he responded, “So that explains the bums chillin’ by Sproul Hall?”</p>
<p>I know you guys will argue to the death about Berkeley’s “culture”, so I’ll leave it be.</p>
<p>I will only argue that there are people who exist that really do like it :). I am not truly one of those people, but I know that they’re there.</p>
<p>I said the bums aren’t bad, but I guess that’s subjective.</p>
<p>I like the bum that hangs out on telegraph with the sign “Free Jokes.”</p>
<p>I tried to call UCLA, was on hold 20 mins and nobody answered me.</p>
<p>The campus is also flanked on the west side (I think?) by the high schoolers on weekdays. That’s worse than the bums IMO :/</p>
<p>well berkeley high is only like two blocks away from the campus.</p>
<p>that bum happens to be my uncle you jerk.</p>
<p>haha jk but yea jokeman…hes hella tight…lol my personal favorite:</p>
<p>what do gay horses eat?</p>
<p>HAAAAAAYYYYYY</p>
<p>and the closest thing uc berkeley has to ghetto is…driving down telegraph for about a mile…</p>
<p>and as for the ‘bum issue’…i dont like the bums on telegraph…</p>
<p>the bums on telegraph are usually young/rebellious idiots…whereas shattuck has more ‘hardcore’ bums who seem as if they have really seen the true affects of poverty…i hate telegraph bums with their stupid sarcastic signs…ugh…my personal favorite:</p>
<p>we’re ugly, need money for plastic surgery.</p>
<p>of course these are my personal, insensitive generalizations = ) i’m nice to homeless people, really. i always donate yogurt park and my change to the poor people on my way back to the bart station.</p>
<p>lol ‘high schoolers’ on the weekends…thats the dumbest thing i’ve ever heard. since when did UC berkeley purchase Telegraph Ave… </p>
<p>You know what annoys everyone else? all the loud mouth cal students who walk around constantly talking about school/drama…no, i’m not judging…these are conversations i’m always hearing bc cal students talk so damn loud…</p>
<p>Jesus, you guys sound like such elitists. Sorry to be rude, but two pages of this? Who cares about whether or not there are homeless people at Berkeley? They’re f***ing everywhere! Where did you guys grow up? Mars? And Berkeley is not that scary at night. Honestly, I’m more worried about being attacked by Ipod wearing yuppies. And the girls are hideous? Please, tell me where that study was published. Insanity.</p>
<p>Well you didn’t hear it from me. I said high schoolers on the weekdays, on the *west side<a href=“i.e.%20not%20Telegraph%20on%20the%20south%20side,%20which%20is%20filled%20with%20high%20schoolers%20that%20I%20don’t%20care%20about”>/i</a>. It’s cool though ;)</p>
<p>But anyway my problem is that they crowd the whole sidewalks and restaurants, occasionally doing annoying things.</p>
<p>Found this in the college discussion forum called, “Anyone That Went To A Cc?” </p>
<p>"I am friends with a student just accepted through the transfer track to USC film school with a 2.40 GPA (I’m a film student at Saddleback (adult with a college-age D). He followed the track to the letter, got excellent teacher recommendations, and has a solid portfolio which he developed at Saddleback. </p>
<p>Another just got in to UCLA (not a film major), with a 2.6 GPA. History major."</p>
<p>Ok…so, if this is true…why are we stressing about our gpa? Yeah, I don’t believe it either. Entertaining though.</p>
<p>I don’t think it’s fair to call me or anyone else elitist for not liking vagrancy. It’s disgusting and shouldn’t be tolerated. New York in the past few decades has done a great job of cleaning up the city. The result? An overall nicer city, better economy, and lower crimerate. In fact, it’s THE safest large city in all of America.</p>

<p>Sorry there aren’t any “official” studies concerning the hotness of girls, I’m just going by what I’ve seen, what my friend who goes there has told me, and video evidence.</p>
<p>If I get into Berkeley, I will make it my #1 priority to make the Cal girls hotter. In fact, I should have included this plan in my “What I can bring to UC” part of my application. If the admission officer reviewing my application was a man, he would admit me on the spot. I’m sure he’s tired of looking at all those homely girls…lol</p>
<p>Kell, you’re doing the world a service. You deserve a medal or something. Now if all girls had that kind of ambition, the world would be a more peaceful place. I think we have a new frontrunner for the Nobel Prize.</p>
<p>Just petition the mayor to ban birkenstocks, nappy hair, and loose fitting clothing. Any dreamcatcher earrings and peace signs are also strictly forbidden. What is not forbidden are bras and makeup, they both must be worn at all times when in public. If I think of more, I’ll let you know.</p>
