<p>what if all the bums gang up on the escort! lol</p>
<p>I think of other things when I think of escort services. Is that really what its called?</p>
<p>Well, I guess it’s every man/woman for themselves! Run for it!</p>
<p>Got yourself a gun…</p>
<p>I will be taking Math 1B as well as the 1 unit transfer student seminar, I think it’s Edu 198. But if I can find 1 more unit I’ll be considered full time so I’m still looking. I’ve already signed up for the 2 so far.</p>
<p>hmmm…so despite all this talk about which campus you’re more likely to get mugged, beaten up, killed, etc. at, which would you all say is the better choice for someone majoring in English: UCLA or CAL??</p>
<p>I know the English Department is really good at Cal. I hear they are number 3 in the nation for that major. But I am not sure on that. Either way, I think both programs would be a good choice.</p>
<p>who cares what department is better at which school, they are both the same, it comes down to social life!</p>
<p>here is a better question, where would it be easier to get a 3.5 + cal or la?</p>
<p>well, according to a friend of mine who talked to a counselor at my cc, CAL is at #2 and UCLA is at #11 for English programs. ugh. I guess I just wanted someone to tell me that UCLA is a better choice because that’s really where I intended on going cuz i wanna be a writer for tv and it seems better to be in LA for that. I also don’t wanna do what everyone is telling me to cuz now all my friends and people at school and professors are telling me to go to CAL…i guess i’ll have to wait & visit before I can figure this out.</p>
<p>you care about the ranking too much. I mean, the ranking can be one of the points that you consider of where u are going. but u still have to consider other things like what’s the difference between the 2 school’s programs, and also which school will give u a better career path.
if you wanna be a writer for tv, i suppose u wanna go for the entertainment industry right? and LA will definitely give you better career path for entertainment industry. many firms are offering internships in LA so you might want to consider that too.</p>
<p>Rankings only matter for a few majors. And even then 11 and 2 isn’t a big difference. It’s english, no offense but nobodies gonna be blown away cuz u went to #2 instead of #11. It’s not business/engineering, and I dont know what you plan to do after getting your degree but if it’s law (many english majors are, thats y i ask) it doesn’t matter.</p>
<p>camille: do what i did and look up some english courses at both cal and ucla next semester. also take a look at the complit depts (which always have the most amazing classes, imo). </p>
<p>about safety at cal: um, i’m a girl, 5’5. i’ve walked around at night a LOT. to this day i jog around for an hour during the late hours (usually 11-12pm). i’ve never been afraid. the neighborhoods immediately surrounding berkeley are infested with students. late at night, there are always students walking around. the thing you have to keep in mind about anecdotes is… places change. today, in may 2007, i feel like cal is safe. also, the escort service is called bearwalk. a guy on a bike escorts you home. no, bums will not gang up on him. the majority of the homeless people here aren’t crazy and generally are pretty pleasant. nuveen was right when she said that some parts of southside are generally safe because there are restaurants that stay open late. if you live in the dorms, believe me, you won’t be the only one going to the library to study at night. you’ll never find yourself walking down a dark alley alone or something. on any given night, the 2 blocks south of campus are pretty lively with people out eating/walking/whatever.</p>
<p>dude, mojo, how could u worry about violence in berkeley when i plan to move in with the homeless!!! u gotta give me some credit for being so brave… i wish charizard could join me in la. we will be feared!!! all of the gangs will pay us tribute and we will strut about the streets in black robes with all the people bowing before us and saluting the almighty LORD OF GREATNESS and his right-hand man Prince of Art.</p>
<p>well, im still curious about cal, it seems different…</p>
<p>anyways, to those who want to go, or sent their SIR:</p>

<p>Camille! Why did you dump me?!</p>
<p>Ride with me by nelly? Jesus Christ…</p>
<p>She dumped me Sauron…</p>
<p>got a call a few hours ago from a dude @ berkeley trying to get me to transfer to cal…asked him about the whole crime thing, his reply: “whoever started that idea is probably from ucla” heh heh, funny guy.</p>
<p>also, did you know that berkeley is on a semester system and not a quarter system? </p>
<p>oh and charizard, i quote from the film ‘shallow hal’: “don’t you have to be going out to get dumped?”</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Cal and Merced are the only UCs not on the quarter system.</p>
<p>
