5/11 I have been accepted to UCLA for Fall 03 (CS & Engr) and to Berkeley
for Spring 04 (EECS), granted that I take a community college class
in Fall. Is Berkeley worth waiting for and why?
\_ yes.
\_ Are you posting for someone or is this for grad school? If the
latter it's all about your advisor.
\_ It's for undergrad and I attended Berkeley for summer school
last summer (CS61a).
\_ wait for Berkeley. Have fun in community college.
\_ I think I'd rather get started on college, IMO. You didn't make
Berkeley, so why wait? UCLA is good enough, unless there's an
overwhelming reason you don't want to be in LA. UCB has the
better program, of course, if you're really serious - but if
you're really serious you wouldn't have to take a CC class. --dim
\_ what's the rush for? I don't think there is really a rush.
Good things are worth the wait.
\_ BS EECS from Cal is a *MUCH* better degree than BS CS from
UCLA. Cal EECS teaches you stuff about computers and
programming, just about how to use win32 and java. While
you are in school it is also much easier to get summer
interships in the bay area if you attend Cal (there aren't
as many CS type companies in the LA area). Once you
graduate, it is much easier to get a job or get into grad
school if you have a BS EECS from Cal.
You should wait for Cal and have a good time in CC.
\_ If you want to have a bitter & lousy time in school and have a
blast after you graduate, go to Cal. I had a miserable time in
Cal. Forget about dating and meeting people and having fun, you
will most likely spend your miserable junior/senior years in
Cory Hall and/or Soda Hall. On the other hand it's much easier
getting a job after college with a Cal degree. So it's your
choice. UCLA is a pretty well balanced school. UCB is a really
competitive & academic school w/ugly uptight chicks. Trade offs
ya know.
\_ It wasn't THAT bad, man. If you keep up and don't turn into a
total slacker you can maintain a healthy social life and still
earn a decent GPA. I did it, and I'm pretty stupid.
\_ Don't sell yourself short - you are exceptionally stupid.
\_ I'm stupider that you can possibly imagine. But at
least I can post to motd correctly.
\_ DV: When I left, I was but the learner; now I
am the dumbass.
BK: Only a dubmbass of evil, Darth. If you strike
me down now, I will become stupider than you
can possibly imagine.
BK: Only a dubmbass of evil, Darth. If you
censor my motd posts now, I will become stupider

\_ just because you were a pathetic low life geek at cal doesn't
mean everyone was. Stop hating and start recogonzing you were
just fucking lame back then.
\_ there are over 15,000 women at Cal. If you can't find one, you
suck.
\_ There are a lot of hot chicks at Cal and several of us were
getting them when I was in school. Let me give you a starting
tip on what it takes: shower everyday. I had a blast at Cal and
a blast afterwards. I had a mediocre GPA and it didn't matter
because after my first job no one asked. GPA is only for people
going to grad school. The rest of us did just fine getting laid
all the time, thanks. Oh yeah hint #2: the hot chicks aren't in
the labs at cory/soda. Go take some fuzzy classes P/NP. You
only live once, don't fuck it up for some random number. |
