more Kemper questions

according to the NUcuisine website, all students on campus must have a meal plan. I vaguely remember that students in Kemper don’t have to have one, but I can’t find that on the site at all. am I confabulating that fact?! also, I lived off campus this year, and I am kind of interested in [...]

Hair Salon

Looking for a hair salon for women in and around Berkeley – any ideas?

Superb Director’s Series

Doesn’t Superb usually do an annual Director’s Series in the spring semester? Last year, I remember seeing Paul Thomas Anderson speak in March. I think Kevin Smith and Spike Jonze came in previous years. Did this already happen? Or is Superb just unable to find someone willing to do it this year?

On-Campus DE Exams

Anyone know if on-campus de exams vary the questions given (if at all) if you’re writing during a different session? Thanks!

Pick-A-Prof

What does everyone think about the Pick-A-Prof/UCB partnership and website? I’ve been trying to use it to plan my schedule, but I feel like it’s a complete waste of time. The class schedule planner is filled with mistakes (professors for sections are switched, AM vs. PM problems, etc.) and the interface not as easy to [...]

Holy crap :(

You know you’re a grad student when school is canceled for the day due to inclement weather and your thoughts go in this order: 1. Woo hoo! Now I have that extra time I need to write my seminar paper and grade my student papers! 2. Damn, I was really looking forward to discussing Milton [...]
