<p>miabella, did u think berkeley was ghetto/ugly? and, have you visited ucla?</p>
<p>not at all! i loved it! The old feeling of the buildings/the seedy dinning places…something about it was just so fun… Its weird, i thought i would HATE it…i was so surpirized</p>
<p>im not a huge fan of UCLA just because i dont like the city all the much, im from OC and LA is just to much for me</p>
<p>oh, thanks for the responce, since everyone on these boards have been saying how ugly/ghetto berk’s city is.</p>
<p>nah…its really not.</p>
<p>ditto on the ucla thing mia. def just too much for me.</p>
<p>Berkeley is raw, intellectual, funky, full of history, artistic, creative, with all all it’s little flaws, it’s still quite a beautiful place…it’s definately not ghetto and I should know since I lived in Oakland for a year…I love the old historical buildings and the late night conversations in the coffee houses.</p>
<p>feel ya peep.</p>
<p>thank you luv! i agree!</p>
<p>Westwood is affluent, prestigious, clean, World-reknown, energetic, exciting, with all all its little flaws, it’s obviously an amazing place…it’s complete opposite of ghetto and I should know since I lived in L.A. area for more than ayear…I love the beachside and the late night clubbing in the Sunset Blvd.</p>
<p>what happens at 10?</p>
<p>the phones open…maybe decisions posted…maybe not…we’ll see</p>
<p>…remember when i had an essay to write? oh ya, me too…</p>
<p>i kind of do wish berkeley’s area had a little more to do, like westwood. most places here (which are restaurants/cafes/theaters) close at 10ish. it’s pretty unexciting. i’m gonna miss hookah and diddy riese nights in westwood.</p>
<p>dhl…are you going to UCLA over Cal?</p>
<p>if you like bev hills berkeley’s not for you. its a very colorful lively place, great for people that get sick of everything being the same, i’m the type of person that loves “imperfections” -its our differences that really make us great and separate us from each other.</p>
<p>Also the people are very friendly and open, so it’s easy to have fun.</p>
<p>most likely.
I’m visiting cal this week to meet with the counselor.
So far I’m 70% convinced to go to UCLA and 30% Berkeley.
I’m thinking by the end of this week, everything’s going to be determined for sure…</p>
<p>but most likely I’ll choose UCLA since I already submitted my housing application :P</p>
<p>has anyone called?</p>
<p>I’m a sociology major…so Berkeley is perfect for me</p>
<p>looks like its not happening at 10.</p>
<p>and regarding my last statement… that’s IF I get admitted lol.
If I don’t… well then it makes everything much easier :)</p>
<p>“I’m a sociology major…so Berkeley is perfect for me”
-yeah,i’m a psychology major and Berkeley has the best Psych program undergrad and grad.</p>
<p>bah, no update yet</p>
