Why Berkeley?</p>

<p>Jeff Tedford. Marshawn Lynch. Nate Longshore (hopefully). And keep an eye on Daymeion Hughes - he should have a huge season this coming year.</p>

<p>Yea, I would really like to know that too.
I’m a semi-nerd who doesn’t drink or party, and so far am pretty much leaning towards CMU because of academics (aka, guaranteed major at a good CS school vs. coming here and being undeclared for 2 yrs, then having to apply for my major), and because I think? CMU would have a social atmosphere that better fits me.
(Please feel free to agree/disagree with that)</p>

<p>But I feel like I’m not looking at everything and that Berkeley has something to offer, that CMU doesn’t, that I should be considering…aside from weather (and possibly money), I can’t place my finger on it. So aside from err…lists of names of people I don’t know, I also would appreciate if current students would say why they like UCB.</p>

<p>i think CMU’s social atmosphere would better fit you also. =p (ok so i’ve never been there) I’d say pick CMU.</p>

RIP La Vals
People watching in lower sproul</p>

<p>G&S - La Val’s is still alive! It’s just…alive on quiet, boring northside instead of wonderful, exciting southside…</p>

12

<p>I know, but the the la vals on durant was just so trashy and awesome. I always felt like I was in a Bukowski short story when I went there.</p>

13

<p>Yeah, I know what you mean. I also really miss the big-screen TV there…I watched a couple of really exciting games there.</p>

14

<p>Oh well. Blake’s still has a bigscreen in their dungeon.</p>

<p>Northside is awesome!</p>

<p>That guy from the Counting Crows is Adam Duritz, that nice Jewish boy with the pineapple hair.</p>
