Hi, im an international student from hong kong, basing on the coronavirus situation or in general, is the racism situation serious in berkeley? Since my first language is in cantonese, i might struggle sometime when speaking in english :(

I actually graduated from Berkeley last year so I don’t have firsthand experience, but I currently live in the Bay Area and I don’t think it’s that bad since Asians are a good majority of the population here. I know a lot of families who’s first language is Cantonese, and they haven’t experienced anything bad lately (I speak cantonese too :) )

would you recommend living with your parents or living in a dorm? i have the option of living with my parents and commuting to berkeley so i wouldn't need to worry about housing and food, but it seems like every freshman is going to live in a dorm.

@ThruHelensLens

I actually lived in the dorms first semester and lived with my parents the second semester- I definitely think it’s worth the experience living in the dorms. Even thought I did it for one semester, I never felt like I missed out on anything. I think it’s worth it!

i personally think so! I would say all the parties are usually Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night- in terms of just hanging out i hung out with my friends / roommates / clubs basically everyday freshman year!

That being said, I definitely don’t think Berkeley is really a party school like USC or UC Santa Barbara, but it does has social elements if that’s what you’re looking for!

I agree with all of these, but I'll add another. If you're male and you're not white, East Asian, or South Asian, then good luck dating. Berkeley is known to not have a great dating scene anyway, but if you are not part of one of the larger demographic groups then finding willing romantic partners will be more challenging than any class you will ever take. I've found that your major can influence this too. When I was there I noticed that many women would date men whose majors ended in "Engineering" regardless of how little those women were attracted to those male students. For context, I was an art major who women regularly and openly called physically attractive, yet getting someone to agree to a date was nearly impossible.

I plan on studying criminal law at Berkeley next year is there any clubs on campus that I can apply to.

I’m personally not too familiar with law organizations, but here is a list of all the student organizations on campus: callink.berkeley.edu/organizations . You can browse through and see which orgs interest you 😊
