What Losing said.

Thanks alffla^^ [and yeah, it's a bit popular. Haas is a good enough programme so it shouldn't be toooo bad. But I have to do well there.]

Well yeah, but then you need to be tops in that group too

OK, I've accepted the fact that girls @ Cal are, on average, below average. But are there pretty ones ? Do they exist in quantities exceeding, say, 10?

its not thaaaaat bad.

Strictly in terms of classes, for me (im in eecs) its pretty bad cos guys:girls are like 6-7:1, and that 1, 50% of the time is like some fat indian girl or something. It should be better for you, since you're economics/intended business, so the classes you take will most likely be a lot better. I'm currently also taking Chinese (yea, cos im taiwanese as well, but very abc), and theres like 1:2 guy:girl, and most of them are pretty decent looking.

In any case, though, you prolly would want to look outside of class, like student groups. If you're fobby enough look into TASA, cos (at least their last event I went) a lot of the girls there were nooooooott bad. lol.

Edit: I dont know if Sunnyveil's pic is just a bad pic or something, but there are MANY girls here that are better than that imo.

Reassuring ;p I'll prolly take Chinese; dunno what level to take. Inter or Adva? I did lots of Chinese school [actually finished 12 years -_-] but I never use written Chinese anymore ~~

How many activities do most people do ? [I guess it depends on which ones are more intensive, but... well, I guess, which activities are hardcore and which aren't ?]

Yeah, Asian parents are surprising in that they all went to some school or other, and then, once graduating, forgot all about what schools they applied to / went to and selectively remember ~5 names. It's amusing.

A lot of my friends going to UCLA are kind of disappointed, and I'm kind of sad - I like SoCal types more, I think. More sociable, less ... whatever.

But I'll deal with it.

Oh snap...you lived in Cary? That's really close to Durham (275 Louis Circle). I was actually in Cary this past winter, visiting old family friends who we've stayed in contact with since I moved to San Francisco.

Oh, awesome. Cary's nice; it's quiet but not too far from everything.

And big houses cost 1/10th of what they do here -_-;

Yes! Good choice. My brother is currently a junior there, Zalfor is a junior there, paper goes there, Yosh is a senior there, evanthebouncy goes there, Sunyveil lives nearby, I live nearby (I went to Berkeley LAN a few weeks ago), Nitrogen lives nearby, they have a starcraft night every Thursday (from what I've been told) and I think there's a lot more people there too.

And for house pricing, I live in Danville about 20 minutes away from Berkeley and the average house price is $1,200,000. Then there's Blackhawk... and even richer places around here... Berkeley is considered median imo.

Btw does anyone know where I can download a Chinese characters writing (where you input the pinyin and then it makes the character?) I have one on my old computer but I don't know where to get it, I have XP btw.

You can install it just by goin to control panel => region/languages, I think it comes with it and you just have to say you want 'East Asian language package' or whatever.

Oh, cool. Yeah, I have a couple friends who live in Danville. 1.2m isn't that bad ;p I'm in Los Altos and I don't even want to know what the average house price is.

yay StarCraft nights! I have to start not sucking at Star though.
