I thought student loan was a myth. The old man who gives 2/4 years scholarship to UCB from community college told me that first bachelor degree was free from financial aids(FAFSA) and cal grant by being independent. I was building up my letters of recommendation from computer science classes.
being a local bay area person, the looks thing at berk is so true. Literally, people wear the wildest shit and no one looks at them weird bc' it's just berkeley being berkeley and i love it
Here is the real list: 1). Berkley will print the name of their school on their degrees so that the rest of the world knows where and how those graduates were indoctrinated. 2). It is an excellent school to learn how to become a far-left progressive liberal socialist 3). You will learn how to get along well with a very small portion of the population and only that small population 4). You will be intolerable to a majority of the population and spend most of your life and energy hating these people 5). You will be taught what to think rather than how to think and might serve on the DNC to bring this slogan to their next convention. 6). That little hate-baby in your soul will grow to be a mature and effective full grown hate wielding monster by the time you are released into society. 7). You will learn more gender identities than your colleagues that did not attend a school that teaches you that this is one of the most important things to focus on. 8). You will spend your life knowing that global warming is the biggest threat to the world and anything that resembles fact or truth will make you nauseated and trigger you. 9). Being a loner, old, and fat with a lot of cats who will know how to properly hate Donald Trump....even if it means making shit up to support this will be a nice retirement. 10). You will soon understand that Joe Biden is the greatest POTUS of all time.
Great try! I had a completely different experience when I attended Berkeley in the early 90s (which is to be expected)...I hope things change for you so that your time at Cal is life changing, as it was for me. Roll on.
CS major: go to CS 61A/B course websites now and prepare yourself! You will find a lot of genius in class who can write a project in three hours when you are spending six sleepless nights doing the same task. Other major: Chill! This is the last free summer you can enjoy

This is so well done! I love how you measure weather against a Southern California metric. It’s true it’s never freezing here but those truly warm days really only happen once in a while and usually early Autumn. I loved bearwalk as an undergraduate as another way to get across campus or nearby (bus or home). Such a useful video - nice work!
Thoughts about these as someone who also went to Berkeley: CONS: 1. This is highly dependent on the class and your motivation. If you're in a huge freshman math class or something, sure there's going to be a lot of people at office hours, but there's plenty of extra help and resources outside of the prof's office hours. It's not like you're really going to want a letter of rec from a generic class like this anyway. In upper division classes, it was very common for my professors to know me, as barely anyone goes to office hours. It's profs like this in more specialized classes in your major that you enjoy that you would want to write a letter of rec or make connections with anyway. 2. This likely very dependent on your major. I'm in engineering and there was lots of research opportunities. You could easily talk to professors about their research and ask to join their lab. Of course, it's not guaranteed your first choice will say yes, since some labs are too advanced for undergrads or are just really full but there are definitely enough options to find something no problem. I'm guessing premed is harder, I just wanted people to know it's not necessarily the same for everyone. 3. Agreed 4. True, it's definitely not the safest, but there's free night safety shuttles so you certainly don't have to uber home. I went 5 years without encountering any crime personally, so it's definitely not just inevitable. 4.5. Very true, it's a struggle for everyone 5. There are lots of business and CS clubs like this, but outside of that it's much more relaxed. If you don't want to surround yourself with these type of people, it's very easy to stay away from them. If you're looking for clubs for the actual sake of meeting new people and having fun, you'll find a much more wholesome chill atmosphere than if you're just looking for clubs to get some kind of networking advantage. And simply by the nature of meeting people, I'm sure you'll make some meaningful and helpful connections. I agree with most of the pros. I love that people don't really care what you look like. And that doesn't mean everyone is just lazy, but rather they're much more willing to be different rather than basic. While these types of people surely exist everywhere, I feel like there's generally less fake, self absorbed people than other places, especially compared to LA. It might feel competitive if you're premed or business (which is probably true everywhere), but this girl is both and even she said it's not that bad. I personally never experienced people being competitive, rather the opposite, everyone felt like they were struggling and we could kind of bond over that and go through it together. Although I disagree that campus is easy to get around. It's quite hilly and that can definitely make it a struggle and rule out biking/skating for many people. But it is nicely located near tons of restaurants, bars, etc so you definitely won't need a car which is nice. Plus I just love the city along with Oakland and SF, there's plenty to do and easy enough to get around.
OMG, I loved this! Specially because I'm going to UC Berkeley for the spring semester through a partnership between colleges. I'm from Brazil, and coming with two more girls. We are super open to making new friends and have a great experience :) Keep it up!
@@birajkhadka3904 one of the most craziest experiences of my life! Lol literally everyone vanishied from night to daylight, and the exchange students were left alone on campus, trying to figure out our lives from that moment on. I was lucky to get a flight and land in Brazil though, not everyone could, the flights kept getting cancelled. Overall, it was great, the first 2 months, I was living a dream :))
I agree about study groups. Some classes are so difficult that a study group is almost mandatory. I passed a difficult class one time and would have never made it without a study group. College is brutally hard and it's designed that way.
Wow, it's a great video! I just got into UC Berkeley yesterday, and is a bit freak out about peer pressure here. Hope you can make some videos on how to succeed in Cal

As a current Berkeley student I disagree with the amount of research opportunities. Coming from a community college I feel blessed and overwhelmed by all the opportunities. And even though the homelessness situation is unfortunate, it’s better than living in a bubble in my opinion.
Taxes are high and all the NIMBY tech CEOs are living in $3MM homes in the hills behind gates. They preach about diversity and inclusion yet everyone at UCB is Asian. With all that tax money you'd think they'd do something about the hobos and crime but I guess that'd be violence.
@@laughter95 The lack of diversity, is not the fault of the city nor the university- in the 1990s affirmative action was ruled out in California, which has been the greatest cause for the lack of racial diversity. UCB being a state school has to abide to state laws. That being said I do agree that Berkeley/SF residents and gov't regard the homelessness situation as "it is what it is" rather than actively doing something about it.
I can confirm the crime rate in Berkeley is kinda insane. Beyond being bombarded by BPD crime reports every week, I personally witnessed drive by robbery while I was there.
loved your video ! SO entertaining :) my son is applying for 2025 and it's great to get all the real deets. I have so many positives and negatives, it's good to get the low down on everything.
Berkeley could be nicer but there's much worse. The homelessness is concentrated right by the campus, which makes it interesting. There's a problem right there for all the students to focus on solving, yet that doesn't happen. It's all quite ironic; Berkeley in General.
John Smith okay....? if that’s how you feel, you have acouple options. Propose a solution, continue complaining, or leave. If these students are so great they should be able to come up with a solution, right?
I got accepted (class of 2026) and it’s my top school but I’ve seen so many people not recommend it so thank you for posting this! I prefer honesty, not romanticization.
Yeah lol honestly LA and SoCal is expensive but it’s not BAY AREA expensive. A 2,000 dollar apt in LA will cost you over 3,000 dollars for something more run down and dangerous
Hi! Congrats for getting accepted! Well, I would say classes range in difficulty depending on the major/course/your skill/professor LOL... But like I mentioned in the video, although classes might be difficult to get an A++++, I do think it is somewhat approachable and possible for people to get passing scores C-B range! Make sure to utilize office hours with GSI (grad student instructors), and also dont be afraid to go to the student learning center! And, just vocalize to the professor when you are struggling! YOU are going to be great! Stop listening to other people and you'll take on the challenge on your own when and if it comes. I made another video on my channel talking about freshman tips if you wanted to see!
@@steniomenelas681 I would say just focus on getting mostly A's in regular and a few honors/AP classes! And, doing well on ACT/SAT. I think for big schools like the UC system, they really use grades and test scores as a first-round weeder.
LOL you should start developing a relationship with your professor way before the semester starts. Email your professor as soon as you pick your class off the syllabus
@@lizbethhernandez3710 Hey my name is Anthony Roberson. I just wanted to introduce myself. Is the syllabus ready yet . What books are we going to need ? Are their any books outside of the text book u would recommend reading.

Hi! I’m debating whether or not to apply for UC Berkeley for Journalism, so I’m watching every single video to figure out if it’s worth it! I’m from the UK and it will be my first time in America! X
Hey, I'm not a Cal student but I'm also debating whether or not to apply next semester. Berkeley doesn't have a Journalism major but you could probably get your degree in English or Communications. I'd also like to hear what other English/Literature students have to say about admissions at UCB. It's obviously a selective school but I'm curious to see if it's as hard to get into as a liberal arts major compared to a STEM major like (let's say) computer science. Best of luck with your applications!

i also made a video about berkeley for new admits :’) talking about things i wish i knew before attending. i loved watching videos like this to get to know the campus before attending, especially being OOS and now with covid i can’t even imagine how hard it must be for new admits to pick a school
agh ty I needed this! i just got in and I’m trying to decide whether to go! I almost didn’t apply because I don’t love the campus or the town, and I’m thinking of doing my GEN Ed at a community college and transferring to another UC 🥴🥴
In the ‘90s, we didn’t have laptops mostly, or we kept them in our dorms. Southside was a little sketchy, but nothing really bad. It was mostly smelly with scents of piss or weed.
If you are not a bio major, you will have a very difficult time getting a lab position as an undergraduate. Lab positions are for students who can make a contribution to labs.

Thank you so much for the video! I am transferring this school year to Berkeley, and although I was pretty excited at first, now I am really worried about safety :( Is there any tips on being safe going out of campus??
Hanon Choi hi! Congrats! Safety is def a big issue here. In terms of homeless population & local violence, I would just say be extra careful. I always have pepper spray on me and I try to Uber or have friends walk me home after sunset. I try to not listen to music while I walk LOL yea but anything can happen even in daylight. Also, avoid doing work in certain cafes that are known to just have people take and run with your stuff.

oh sweetheart - you think berkeley has glOOmy weather??? you have no idea. just across the bay from Berkeley, hie over to the other side of San Francisco by Ocean Beach where it's perpetual overcast swirling Jack-the-Ripper fog microclimate. Being a S.F. native I'm always amazed by the sun once I emerge from the BART.
Do you ride on Bart to and from San Francisco? If so, how long is the transit and is it realistic to do daily as a Berkeley student? Genuine question! If you can't answer, it's alright.
As a Berkeley alum (who was in a large major), I can say that a lot of these negatives are NOT true. It is NOT hard to get close to professors if you put in some effort. It's also not super difficult to get research opportunities! Sure, you are going to start out doing some grunt work like lab cleaning, etc. until you show that you are responsible and committed. Of course, no one is going to take you in and let you do your own research from the get-go and you should not expect them to. You need to learn the ropes and prove yourself, just like at any other job. The weather is gloomy, but if you are going to be deciding to live somewhere for 4 years, you should probably do the research on things like the weather before you move there. Finally, while Berkeley can be unsafe at times, the campus does have many resources to keep students safe at night, such as BearWALK (where a representative from campus safety services walks you home), night shuttles, etc. All of those resources are free to students. As long as you keep your smarts about you and don't walk alone in dark areas in the middle of the night, you should be fine. If you feel unsafe, use one of the aforementioned resources.
Hello, my daughter recently got accepted th UC Berkeley and was wondering if you know anything about the political science realm there? Also, what is considered a generous financial aid from them? Any info is greatly appreciated.

Nah fam if you're making people pay insane tuition to attend a college, they have every right to research opportunities. Just because it was a breeze for you, doesn't mean it will be for everyone else. As far as the location, you are a tall athletic looking man. You couldn't possibly understand how concerning it might be for a small female student to attend the school, and it is a completely valid point to make, that the school is in a concerningly sketchy location. Sure, there are free resources available but that doesn't change the fact that the area is unsafe in general
wow im SO glad im watching videos on this,,,, i got accepted and am deciding between berkeley and a private university in my hometown and its difficult to make a choice. even with all the crime alerts and bad weather and expensive rent, would you still say you've made the right decision in going? do those things affect your ability to do well?
hi! i couldn't help but respond! not at all!!! honestly, it's really not that rainy or gloomy in my opinion sure you'll see fog because the bay is just lower so we are more susceptible to fog which normally clears up by noon haha. Rent is 100% approachable you just need to give yourself time and find what location really fits best for you! Crime alerts can be really scary but most college's struggle with things similar to this soo it's kind of an issue that's unavoidable occasionally maybe it's a bit heightened in Berk but I haven't seen it as a massive issue! hope this helped
Hey, I really want to attend UC Berkeley. Could you do a video on all the sorts of lifestyles that go on in the school just so I can have an idea of what to expect if I do go
Yah I meant the experience because I just wanted to know the different types of people and scenes. What I mean by scenes is like the party scene or sorority scene. And how are the sororitys? Are they a big deal? When I was walking around the school I noticed that the sororitys and fraternitys were in quite nice houses. Just tell me what your thinkin’ 😘
Upper division physics is hard as F. You'll pass but that's it. They straight up grade deflate for sure. Easy got an B+ in Quantum mechanics but nope C+. If you want to go to grad school go somewhere else.
I just got accepted to Berkely..But idk how to feel about it cause I got accepted as a sociology major when im more interested in criminal justice/criminology yet Berkeley is Berkeley but I ain't trying to get robbed :/
I am visiting with my son next month for tour and curious about the surrounding community. I have net been there since the early 90s and it was full of record store salad bars and street vendor young people selling their handmade arts. I’m nervous it’s going to be all gentrified now. Where is the most “Berkeley” area to go? Is it safe?
I real dislike uc berkeley, I feel that people are rude and unfriendly. It was a disgraceful for me when I tried to pay a visit for the campus. I prefer UCLA or CSUs.
@@AngelicaSong It's all right. Some students who transferred from community college are not that good. Maybe Freshman are different. I am in csuci now, It's a happy campus and only 45 minutes drive to Los Angeles. I have one year left until graduation.
Idk when I went to Berkeley I got a completely different reaction! It was UCLA where I felt pretty unwelcomed like people could care less about prospective students. I have a few friends who are at UCLA rn but other than them that was it. I should also mention UCLA rejected me but Berkeley accepted me lmao
@@dracokitty123 Really? I think UCLA has better environment for social and friendly people. That's a good school. They send some UCLA professors to csuci, and they provide good classes and nice grading policies. Also, there are some beautiful girls in UCLA too. Berkeley was mess up since 2017, even worse, people intend to smash your car or yell at you. It was a disaster for me when I paid a visit for the campus. And this year, they got fight in Berkeley. Remember Hayden Williams? He's got assaulted in UC berkeley. You can disagree with people but never punch on their face unless they invade your privacy.
It’s my first time attending Berkeley, and I’m going to Summer sessions. My prof requests a course reader, but what is a course reader, and is it a pain to obtain if you can’t get it online?
justin t it’s usually a paper workbook! It’s sold at local copy stores/book stores on Bancroft (street in front of campus). So once you get on campus, maybe the prof can tell you where specifically-but the main big ones should have most! Or email them! If you want to know exactly where beforehand.
if u lovee me please watch the ads i gotta pay off those student loans pls help a sis out with some capitalism money hahah
WOW, you are like Mozart

great idea! will post that before school starts again! thanks for watching ~
How did you do?
CS major: go to CS 61A/B course websites now and prepare yourself! You will find a lot of genius in class who can write a project in three hours when you are spending six sleepless nights doing the same task.
Other major: Chill! This is the last free summer you can enjoy
Here is the real list:
1). Berkley will print the name of their school on their degrees so that the rest of the world knows where and how those graduates were indoctrinated.
2). It is an excellent school to learn how to become a far-left progressive liberal socialist
3). You will learn how to get along well with a very small portion of the population and only that small population
4). You will be intolerable to a majority of the population and spend most of your life and energy hating these people
5). You will be taught what to think rather than how to think and might serve on the DNC to bring this slogan to their next convention.
6). That little hate-baby in your soul will grow to be a mature and effective full grown hate wielding monster by the time you are released into society.
7). You will learn more gender identities than your colleagues that did not attend a school that teaches you that this is one of the most important things to focus on.
8). You will spend your life knowing that global warming is the biggest threat to the world and anything that resembles fact or truth will make you nauseated and trigger you.
9). Being a loner, old, and fat with a lot of cats who will know how to properly hate Donald Trump....even if it means making shit up to support this will be a nice retirement.
10). You will soon understand that Joe Biden is the greatest POTUS of all time.
This is so well done! I love how you measure weather against a Southern California metric. It’s true it’s never freezing here but those truly warm days really only happen once in a while and usually early Autumn. I loved bearwalk as an undergraduate as another way to get across campus or nearby (bus or home). Such a useful video - nice work!
Thoughts about these as someone who also went to Berkeley:
CONS:
1. This is highly dependent on the class and your motivation. If you're in a huge freshman math class or something, sure there's going to be a lot of people at office hours, but there's plenty of extra help and resources outside of the prof's office hours. It's not like you're really going to want a letter of rec from a generic class like this anyway. In upper division classes, it was very common for my professors to know me, as barely anyone goes to office hours. It's profs like this in more specialized classes in your major that you enjoy that you would want to write a letter of rec or make connections with anyway.
2. This likely very dependent on your major. I'm in engineering and there was lots of research opportunities. You could easily talk to professors about their research and ask to join their lab. Of course, it's not guaranteed your first choice will say yes, since some labs are too advanced for undergrads or are just really full but there are definitely enough options to find something no problem. I'm guessing premed is harder, I just wanted people to know it's not necessarily the same for everyone.
3. Agreed
4. True, it's definitely not the safest, but there's free night safety shuttles so you certainly don't have to uber home. I went 5 years without encountering any crime personally, so it's definitely not just inevitable.
4.5. Very true, it's a struggle for everyone
5. There are lots of business and CS clubs like this, but outside of that it's much more relaxed. If you don't want to surround yourself with these type of people, it's very easy to stay away from them. If you're looking for clubs for the actual sake of meeting new people and having fun, you'll find a much more wholesome chill atmosphere than if you're just looking for clubs to get some kind of networking advantage. And simply by the nature of meeting people, I'm sure you'll make some meaningful and helpful connections.
I agree with most of the pros. I love that people don't really care what you look like. And that doesn't mean everyone is just lazy, but rather they're much more willing to be different rather than basic. While these types of people surely exist everywhere, I feel like there's generally less fake, self absorbed people than other places, especially compared to LA. It might feel competitive if you're premed or business (which is probably true everywhere), but this girl is both and even she said it's not that bad. I personally never experienced people being competitive, rather the opposite, everyone felt like they were struggling and we could kind of bond over that and go through it together. Although I disagree that campus is easy to get around. It's quite hilly and that can definitely make it a struggle and rule out biking/skating for many people. But it is nicely located near tons of restaurants, bars, etc so you definitely won't need a car which is nice. Plus I just love the city along with Oakland and SF, there's plenty to do and easy enough to get around.
thank you so much !
Liberal shithole confirmed
OMG, I loved this! Specially because I'm going to UC Berkeley for the spring semester through a partnership between colleges. I'm from Brazil, and coming with two more girls. We are super open to making new friends and have a great experience :) Keep it up!
how did that go with covid? 😅
@@birajkhadka3904 one of the most craziest experiences of my life! Lol literally everyone vanishied from night to daylight, and the exchange students were left alone on campus, trying to figure out our lives from that moment on. I was lucky to get a flight and land in Brazil though, not everyone could, the flights kept getting cancelled. Overall, it was great, the first 2 months, I was living a dream :))
It almost felt like an apocalipse, since the streets were dead ass empty, and stores closed, everyhing
I agree about study groups. Some classes are so difficult that a study group is almost mandatory.
I passed a difficult class one time and would have never made it without a study group.
College is brutally hard and it's designed that way.
Class of 2025 let’s go ! 💛💙💛💙
Hell yeah!
I got in too!
Fuck ya baby
Let’s gooooo
Same here!
Wow, it's a great video! I just got into UC Berkeley yesterday, and is a bit freak out about peer pressure here. Hope you can make some videos on how to succeed in Cal
i will make videos! stay subscribed for more berkeley content
I grew up on OC California but the sketch city doesn’t phase me. I love Berkeley’s areas so much. I want to be there for my college years

Yo what mic do u use! This audio was crispy
Chris Jereza OMG was it??? It’s the Rode VideoMicro compact one!
As a current Berkeley student I disagree with the amount of research opportunities. Coming from a community college I feel blessed and overwhelmed by all the opportunities. And even though the homelessness situation is unfortunate, it’s better than living in a bubble in my opinion.
Taxes are high and all the NIMBY tech CEOs are living in $3MM homes in the hills behind gates. They preach about diversity and inclusion yet everyone at UCB is Asian. With all that tax money you'd think they'd do something about the hobos and crime but I guess that'd be violence.
@@laughter95 The lack of diversity, is not the fault of the city nor the university- in the 1990s affirmative action was ruled out in California, which has been the greatest cause for the lack of racial diversity. UCB being a state school has to abide to state laws. That being said I do agree that Berkeley/SF residents and gov't regard the homelessness situation as "it is what it is" rather than actively doing something about it.
I can confirm the crime rate in Berkeley is kinda insane. Beyond being bombarded by BPD crime reports every week, I personally witnessed drive by robbery while I was there.
Why do liberals vote for this? Have a spine
One of the best videos I've seen for advice on new Cal students, gracias, gracias
thank you for watching!
loved your video ! SO entertaining :) my son is applying for 2025 and it's great to get all the real deets. I have so many positives and negatives, it's good to get the low down on everything.
“Thirsty for research” 😂, it’s funny because it’s true
Berkeley could be nicer but there's much worse. The homelessness is concentrated right by the campus, which makes it interesting. There's a problem right there for all the students to focus on solving, yet that doesn't happen. It's all quite ironic; Berkeley in General.
John Smith okay....? if that’s how you feel, you have acouple options. Propose a solution, continue complaining, or leave. If these students are so great they should be able to come up with a solution, right?
Lmao ok they deleted their comment
Your voice is so soothing 😭
HAHAH i dont think it is
I just got in as a transfer I’m so so excited!! Thanks for this video!
Congrats! 💖💖
did u have to spend 2 years at community college or can i just go for 1

I got accepted (class of 2026) and it’s my top school but I’ve seen so many people not recommend it so thank you for posting this! I prefer honesty, not romanticization.
Think again. Very racist school.
Yeah lol honestly LA and SoCal is expensive but it’s not BAY AREA expensive. A 2,000 dollar apt in LA will cost you over 3,000 dollars for something more run down and dangerous
I KNOW RIGHT? :( why they gotta do us like this fml
Alum - can confirm that this is all true!
Got admitted to class of 2025. I'm an international from Shanghai, so excited yeahhh
I got accepted into Uc Berk, I was wondering how hard are the classes because I am nervous af cause a lot people keep telling that I am screwed
Hi! Congrats for getting accepted! Well, I would say classes range in difficulty depending on the major/course/your skill/professor LOL... But like I mentioned in the video, although classes might be difficult to get an A++++, I do think it is somewhat approachable and possible for people to get passing scores C-B range! Make sure to utilize office hours with GSI (grad student instructors), and also dont be afraid to go to the student learning center! And, just vocalize to the professor when you are struggling! YOU are going to be great! Stop listening to other people and you'll take on the challenge on your own when and if it comes. I made another video on my channel talking about freshman tips if you wanted to see!
@@AngelicaSong Yeah gonna make sure to use them resources and thanks for helping me
Angelica Song what’s the best way to get into us Berkeley? It’s my dream school if I’m an average student
@@steniomenelas681 I would say just focus on getting mostly A's in regular and a few honors/AP classes! And, doing well on ACT/SAT. I think for big schools like the UC system, they really use grades and test scores as a first-round weeder.
Angelica Song but a professor gave me a d will that affect the process of getting accepted as a transfer student
I loved this video + your bubbly personality!! 🌟🌟🌟
thank you!
your voice is so soothing whew
rach W UH hahah I never think it’s soothing LOL but thank you!

Hi! I’m debating whether or not to apply for UC Berkeley for Journalism, so I’m watching every single video to figure out if it’s worth it! I’m from the UK and it will be my first time in America! X
Hey, I'm not a Cal student but I'm also debating whether or not to apply next semester. Berkeley doesn't have a Journalism major but you could probably get your degree in English or Communications.
I'd also like to hear what other English/Literature students have to say about admissions at UCB. It's obviously a selective school but I'm curious to see if it's as hard to get into as a liberal arts major compared to a STEM major like (let's say) computer science. Best of luck with your applications!

the weather is depressing it’s cloudy all the time :-(
Lol I know, I’m just joking. I’m from San Diego so once I move I’ll probably be all depressed too
I love Berkeley weather 😳
hiii your vid was so amazing! i got in for class of 2024 and im so excited!
GO BEARS

Thanks for this!!! I'm from India and this gives me a great idea of what Berkeley is like. Thankyouuuu❤️❤️❤️ I might be applying next year!!!
I used to work at LBL and wondered what it was like for the students down the hill. Thanks for the insight!
I love u ur one of the funniest College review utubers 😂😂
aw thank you~
i also made a video about berkeley for new admits :’) talking about things i wish i knew before attending. i loved watching videos like this to get to know the campus before attending, especially being OOS and now with covid i can’t even imagine how hard it must be for new admits to pick a school
Love this channel!
thank you!
Just got accepted for Grad School (Data Science and IS). Thanks for the info
agh ty I needed this! i just got in and I’m trying to decide whether to go! I almost didn’t apply because I don’t love the campus or the town, and I’m thinking of doing my GEN Ed at a community college and transferring to another UC 🥴🥴
Might be worth saving the money while attending community college!
2024 Gang, wya?
In the ‘90s, we didn’t have laptops mostly, or we kept them in our dorms. Southside was a little sketchy, but nothing really bad. It was mostly smelly with scents of piss or weed.
just got accepted last week!! needed this to look at my options
If you are not a bio major, you will have a very difficult time getting a lab position as an undergraduate. Lab positions are for students who can make a contribution to labs.
When you were talking about the pretentious clubs I was like teaaaa
Lmao gloomy weather. Compared to New England the bay is a dream
yea im being a brat from LA LOL

Man Berkley is at a great location. My school was literally in the hood (because it was cheapest land and best in terms of tax)
Thank you so much for the video! I am transferring this school year to Berkeley, and although I was pretty excited at first, now I am really worried about safety :( Is there any tips on being safe going out of campus??
Hanon Choi hi! Congrats! Safety is def a big issue here. In terms of homeless population & local violence, I would just say be extra careful. I always have pepper spray on me and I try to Uber or have friends walk me home after sunset. I try to not listen to music while I walk LOL yea but anything can happen even in daylight. Also, avoid doing work in certain cafes that are known to just have people take and run with your stuff.

Danger is everywhere !!!! just watch on yourself and just be positive.
I ever heard people say that UC Berkeley is one of the most craziest university in the world ... is that right ?
oh sweetheart - you think berkeley has glOOmy weather??? you have no idea. just across the bay from Berkeley, hie over to the other side of San Francisco by Ocean Beach where it's perpetual overcast swirling Jack-the-Ripper fog microclimate. Being a S.F. native I'm always amazed by the sun once I emerge from the BART.
Do you ride on Bart to and from San Francisco? If so, how long is the transit and is it realistic to do daily as a Berkeley student? Genuine question! If you can't answer, it's alright.
Thank you, I think this is a sign I should apply to somewhere like MIT instead, as I'm more of CS research person with bad school grades
Thank you for this video!
you're welcome!
I like your videos! keep updating plz!
thank you so much! will def be updating :D
As a Berkeley alum (who was in a large major), I can say that a lot of these negatives are NOT true. It is NOT hard to get close to professors if you put in some effort. It's also not super difficult to get research opportunities! Sure, you are going to start out doing some grunt work like lab cleaning, etc. until you show that you are responsible and committed. Of course, no one is going to take you in and let you do your own research from the get-go and you should not expect them to. You need to learn the ropes and prove yourself, just like at any other job. The weather is gloomy, but if you are going to be deciding to live somewhere for 4 years, you should probably do the research on things like the weather before you move there. Finally, while Berkeley can be unsafe at times, the campus does have many resources to keep students safe at night, such as BearWALK (where a representative from campus safety services walks you home), night shuttles, etc. All of those resources are free to students. As long as you keep your smarts about you and don't walk alone in dark areas in the middle of the night, you should be fine. If you feel unsafe, use one of the aforementioned resources.

Nah fam if you're making people pay insane tuition to attend a college, they have every right to research opportunities. Just because it was a breeze for you, doesn't mean it will be for everyone else. As far as the location, you are a tall athletic looking man. You couldn't possibly understand how concerning it might be for a small female student to attend the school, and it is a completely valid point to make, that the school is in a concerningly sketchy location. Sure, there are free resources available but that doesn't change the fact that the area is unsafe in general
hopefully class of 2028! (still in high school though, but one can hope...)
wow im SO glad im watching videos on this,,,, i got accepted and am deciding between berkeley and a private university in my hometown and its difficult to make a choice. even with all the crime alerts and bad weather and expensive rent, would you still say you've made the right decision in going? do those things affect your ability to do well?
hi! i couldn't help but respond! not at all!!! honestly, it's really not that rainy or gloomy in my opinion sure you'll see fog because the bay is just lower so we are more susceptible to fog which normally clears up by noon haha. Rent is 100% approachable you just need to give yourself time and find what location really fits best for you! Crime alerts can be really scary but most college's struggle with things similar to this soo it's kind of an issue that's unavoidable occasionally maybe it's a bit heightened in Berk but I haven't seen it as a massive issue! hope this helped
Trying to get from one corner of campus to the other, uphill, might be a little tiring.
Thanks for making this video! It's super helpful. I got accepted and am deciding if I should go
Thanks for the information LOVE YOUR VIDEO.

OPEN UP AND PROTEST
So far this year it's just been sunny and hot, it's only gotten cold and cloudy last week😭😭😭
Hey, I really want to attend UC Berkeley. Could you do a video on all the sorts of lifestyles that go on in the school just so I can have an idea of what to expect if I do go
B Biggar lifestyles? Or just a video about uc Berkeley experience?
Yah I meant the experience because I just wanted to know the different types of people and scenes. What I mean by scenes is like the party scene or sorority scene. And how are the sororitys? Are they a big deal? When I was walking around the school I noticed that the sororitys and fraternitys were in quite nice houses. Just tell me what your thinkin’ 😘
Dang about the clubs thing, are all clubs like that or just certain ones? A large reason I want to go to Berkeley is because of the cubing club! ^-^
Just the business ones TBH
@@AngelicaSong Ah ok thank you!
... it's very sunny at uc berkeley. Where are you at??
hahah it is during the summer! but come back in January and it'll be rainy and glOOMy!!
Loved the video 🙌🏻
I wanted to ask if like there is that hype and that school spirit ?? You know like the game days and stuff like that
Most definitely! check out my two game day vlogs!
Can’t decide between berkely and UCI...
I loved this video :) Thank you for the video! Go Bears! - Class of 2013 Cal Graduate
yay! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Go bears!
upcoming senior in hs but ty for such an informative video on Berkeley!!
Upper division physics is hard as F. You'll pass but that's it. They straight up grade deflate for sure. Easy got an B+ in Quantum mechanics but nope C+. If you want to go to grad school go somewhere else.
:( I know right?
2 of my friends came in as Bio majors and switched at UCB bc it was so tough
Loved this video!
thank you! stay tuned for more videos!
This must differ based on which school you're majoring in ?
"snake up" such an apt characterization. lol mid-key, my girl is spitting facts...
*Welp,* _I needed_ this video
glad you found it!
I love the weather though
Can you buy me a patagonia then? i need to be warm daniel oppar
I find you very entertaining!
I wanted to go to uc b but hearing everyone’s experience it’s just not for me. I’ll rather go to another UC that fit my personality better
I just got accepted to Berkely..But idk how to feel about it cause I got accepted as a sociology major when im more interested in criminal justice/criminology yet Berkeley is Berkeley but I ain't trying to get robbed :/
love your channel! i just got admitted so your videos are super helpful 💕
CONGRATS! YAY! i'm glad~~ more helpful videos coming out! def stay subscribed

How's your grades looking?
I love it when you can a C that you didn't deserve and just move on to another class.
just got in but i got no clue how to afford it, im out of state :(
I am visiting with my son next month for tour and curious about the surrounding community. I have net been there since the early 90s and it was full of record store salad bars and street vendor young people selling their handmade arts. I’m nervous it’s going to be all gentrified now. Where is the most “Berkeley” area to go? Is it safe?
I just got in and I am debating between Berkeley and SD.
congrats!
I'd like you to make a video about scholarships.
I am thinking of going there, but I think I need a scholarship.
Thanks
I real dislike uc berkeley, I feel that people are rude and unfriendly. It was a disgraceful for me when I tried to pay a visit for the campus. I prefer UCLA or CSUs.
Jason Lou I’m sorry you didn’t have a great time! From my experience, people have been generally friendly both students and strangers.
@@AngelicaSong It's all right. Some students who transferred from community college are not that good. Maybe Freshman are different. I am in csuci now, It's a happy campus and only 45 minutes drive to Los Angeles. I have one year left until graduation.
Idk when I went to Berkeley I got a completely different reaction! It was UCLA where I felt pretty unwelcomed like people could care less about prospective students. I have a few friends who are at UCLA rn but other than them that was it. I should also mention UCLA rejected me but Berkeley accepted me lmao
@@dracokitty123 Really? I think UCLA has better environment for social and friendly people. That's a good school. They send some UCLA professors to csuci, and they provide good classes and nice grading policies. Also, there are some beautiful girls in UCLA too. Berkeley was mess up since 2017, even worse, people intend to smash your car or yell at you. It was a disaster for me when I paid a visit for the campus. And this year, they got fight in Berkeley. Remember Hayden Williams? He's got assaulted in UC berkeley. You can disagree with people but never punch on their face unless they invade your privacy.
@@dracokitty123 I'm glad you had a great experience~
anyone remember Moon Zappa..."Valley Girl"?
Omg.gag me with a spoon. Try talking faster.. sheesh
It’s my first time attending Berkeley, and I’m going to Summer sessions. My prof requests a course reader, but what is a course reader, and is it a pain to obtain if you can’t get it online?
justin t it’s usually a paper workbook! It’s sold at local copy stores/book stores on Bancroft (street in front of campus). So once you get on campus, maybe the prof can tell you where specifically-but the main big ones should have most! Or email them! If you want to know exactly where beforehand.
this is 100% accurate
I tried my best!
