<p>today someone from uc berk who graduated there 3 years ago said that he got into uc berk as a transfer for the spring, i suppose they ran out of space so they offered the decision at a later time, or perhaps that applicant wasnt competitive enough? just a theory.</p>
<p>^hmmm… u derived ur username from the actress Camille Belle, right??? well then, i shalt have to change mine to audrey or sophie or angelina to rival u!!</p>
<p>mojo, i suppose that if u have a high level of self-controul perhaps u will succeed in getting high gpa in ucla more than in berkeley cuz the temptations in la is just too much for most people…but people like me and charizard, we seek hardships and we disdain pleasures…that’s why we shalt succeed!!!</p>
<p>so, who sent their SIR already?</p>
<p>i am sure that berkeley has no fewer homelesses than LA!</p>
<p>u sure about that? i meant the east la. i’m gonna commute.</p>

<p>mojo, have you ever seen Berkeley? I don’t know where you got this idea about Berkeley being unsafe (and I doubt there’s a difference between Berk and LA), but you really shouldn’t have a problem going from your dorm to the library. Man up. Unless you’re a girl, in which case I can’t comment on this situation.</p>

<p>I read through that thread. I think that most of the dorms are on the South side of campus (the safer side), but I’m not actually sure where the transfer dorms are.
Either way, one incident doesn’t make the rule. I doubt you can argue that UCLA never has incidents like that.</p>
<p>Anyone taking summer session at Cal? if so, what are you taking?</p>
<p>nuveen, thats hilarious, south side is actually the DANGEROUS SIDE of the campus @ berk.</p>
<p>and i am a guy, but just because i am a guy doesnt mean i should be experience danger in order to grow up. Do i need to die in order to grow up or something…would that be manly enough lol…</p>
<p>Reading comprehension much?
Almost everyone in that thread agreed that the South side was safe, except mamenyu, who seems to have a very questionably sense of geography (“below” College and Telegraph, she/he says. Those are streets that run North to South, and to get below Telegraph at least, you’d end up in Oakland, and will pass through some bad areas, but why would you ever walk that far?)
South side is where you find many of the main restaurants serviced by kids at night, a lot of the dorms and apartments, and frat row is nearby. I don’t know about you, but I’d feel safer around more students.</p>
<p>everyone that goes to or went to berkeley knows that south side is the most dangerous area.
even near peoples’ park (bums house), which is located off telegraph ave.</p>
<p>mm all my friends at cal say south side is the most dangerous
around PP, unit2, channing etc</p>
<p>not sure about the south or whatever side of cal.
but my friend (who is a guy) in cal said it was not really that safe to walk from library to home!
so i doubt the person above saying there is NO problem for a guy to walk from library to home.</p>
<p>my male teacher told me he got mugged by a bum 
he use to teach @ berk</p>

<p>I might be taking CS61B over the summer. However, my friends recommend taking a vacation before I end up having no life. haha. What about you?</p>
<p>Well, if you all are right, I guess I’ve just been really, really lucky. I’ve walked THROUGH People’s Park at night, by myself, lost, and not entirely with it.</p>
<p>I would never walk through People’s Park by myself! I know Berkeley has an escort service, if you really do feel worried.</p>
