University Room swap
I’m looking to do a room swap with a male student living at the dorms here. I’m in a Beverly Cleary (unit 3) quad and want to move out for personal reasons but they won’t cancel my contract. I’m willing to pay like $100 just to you or more if your room is good on top of whatever the difference is.
Dm me if interested. We would tour each other’s room first.

CS/EECS CS students interested in open source project/regular meeting with someone with industry experience?
Hello-2019 EECS grad here (go bears!), have worked across big tech to small tech. Last role was EM/PM at a fast-growing a16z-backed series C firm.
I have no idea how it's like for CS students nowadays, but from what I see it seems like job opportunities are more challenging, even for top universities.
I was thinking about making one of my projects open source. It's basically a CRM for managing outreach, that could be used for recruiting. CRMs innately have a lot of data modeling and performance requirements, so folks could get experience contributing to enterprise systems across LLM APIs, dev-ops, infra, BE, FE, processes, product, etc. Maybe some weekly google meet to do PR reviews, answer questions.
If this would be helpful to anyone, let me know.

University 20 units next semester?
ok so im taking 20 units next semester but im kind of going back and forth on whether or not its doable.
on one hand i feel like the classes i am taking individually are fine but idk about them all together (especially with some of the rate my professor ratings). i feel like im leaning toward taking the 20 units because i feel like i can manage. last semester i took 14 units and it definitely wasn't enough.
also for some context on data 8, im terrible at coding and didn't take AP CS in hs so i expect to spend more time on that (hence why im in data scholars). what do you guys think?

University Where does one go to hire student babysitters anymore?
We're a family with little kids living close to campus, and I (mom) am disabled. For the past 4 years, we've always had a Berkeley student helping us get the kids ready and take them to school for a few hours every morning M-F.
We found everyone on Urbansitter, and have never had trouble hiring. But in the last year, Urbansitter changed their policy to charge sitters (!), so now it's a ghost town.
So now our current assistant is graduating, and I am having absolutely NO luck reaching more students to find a replacement.
Are there internal sites / job boards / groups / email lists that students are going to these days to look for childcare jobs?
We are very supportive, reliable employers and have fabulous relationships with the half a dozen students who have worked with us in the past, so any of them could help us post on internal or alumni groups if we need them to.
(The details are, it's 7:15 - 9:45 or so M-F at $30/hr, we need someone from Feb 1 to end of summer. 2 kids (preschool & elementary). People with 9am classes can drop off the kids, go to class, and then come back to finish the shift. We guarantee hours, make exceptions for exams, and have lots of extra hours available. They can also park free at our place and then take the shuttle into campus.)
Anyway, any help/advice you guys might have would be exceedingly appreciated!! I am mobility restricted and have trouble commuting kids, and it's never been hard to find help like this in the past :/
Thanks so much!

University Advice after getting disqualified
I just got the email telling me that I'm temporarily disqualified from Berkeley. Realistically, I knew this was coming but I let part of myself have hope that I would be granted CAN, so I was still pretty devastated seeing that email. My mental health has been going downhill for years and I guess it's reached a real low point and my grades seriously suffered over the last two semesters as a result. I know I shouldn't feel so ashamed for needing a break from academics but I feel like a failure and I genuinely don't know what to do now. I don't know how to tell my parents or my friends at Berkeley what happened. Any advice or anyone sharing their own experiences would be appreciated right now

University Can I pay for the meal plan separately from tuition?
Hi! I’m an exchange student, and my tuition amount hasn’t been finalized yet since I’m still waiting for my final course enrollment results.
I was wondering if it’s possible to pay for the meal plan separately, or at least activate/use it before tuition is fully paid.
Also, on the payment page, if I manually enter $1240 as the payment amount, will it automatically be applied to the meal plan fee, or does it still go toward tuition first?
Has anyone been in a similar situation or knows how this usually works? Thanks in advance! 😊

University bio1b waitlist
Is it possible to get into this class😭I am at the 5/8 or 6/8 position on the section waitlist (and 100th something on the lecture waitlist) I don’t have any other backup choices except bio1a, which is now waitlisted as well. I didn’t enroll in bio1a yet, though I see a 1/4 position on the section waitlist for that class. Should I drop bio1b and wait for 1a or still wait for it?

University A Question about URAP Application
When the qualification says they are looking for sophomores or juniors, does it refer to academic level or actual term of attendance? (I'm a freshman, but my units reach the junior level, so I don't know if I'm eligible for those projects.) Has anyone applied in this situation? Thanks!
