I committed to UCLA and am honestly really not liking it. I’ve visited campus several times since then and I just don’t like it. I realize I made the wrong choice and made that choice for the wrong reasons. (Family pressure and all that) as well as what I want out of college. Obviously this is a good choice either way and I’m thankful for either opportunity.

However, with the reality of school starting soon and visiting the campus, and seeing where I’m going to be and what life is like, I don’t like it at all. As well as I realize my career/life goals fall more in line with Berkeley. Or rather, Berkeley’s notoriety and proximity to the Bay Area is something that falls in line with what I want to accomplish. I also realize Berkeley is now my dream after really debating it over the last couple of months.

This would involve me reapplying as a CCC student and doing the app cycle again. Anyone else experience reapplying? Also, I’m looking for real advice and guidance, not just simple pointers. Thank you.

If anyone has experience wearing wider toe box boots and shoes, please chime in. I know they won’t be fully wide enough to splay your toes. However, how wide are they compared to Blundstones, Jim Green boots, or other wider than average boots? Or compared to a red Wing or Thorogood; two companies that are known for narrower toe boxes. The Perry’s are on sale right now at a steal of a price.

Visiting Japan soon. I’m not sure if I can make it to Kojima Street given my trip locations since it’s out of the way. Where can I find a vast selection of Japanese denim (Samurai, Momotaro, Studio, etcetera) *in* Japan, mainly Tokyo? Is Bears Tokyo a good place? I know many shop online but how is their store? What’s a store I can find all of the great Japanese denim (Osaka 5), under one roof in Japan? With a decent amount of selection but not crazy sizes since I’m average. Thanks!

Blundstones are my only boots so that’s all I have to base off of. For those who have both or had both, do they compare in comfortability? The lugged sole on the AR8s look kind of gnarly and I’m not sure if they are as comfy as my Blundstones.

Anything closest to this cut? I know of the 501 selvedge but they are somewhat pricey for the quality control of Levi’s. I may wait for a sale if I can’t find anything.

But I would prefer to purchase a pair from a company with craftsmanship like many of the Japanese companies.

I’ve heard good things of Samurai and Sugarcane, but what models are exactly like modern 501s?

Would prefer to have some sort of back pocket embroidery.

Thanks!

What are the internship opportunities like if anyone can chime in with their anecdotal experience. How many of your peers and friends secured jobs? In which fields (business/communications/cs/others)?

I’m a comms major and out of all of the related fields, I think PR is something I’m interested in pursuing. As an undergrad college student, what should I do to stand out in applications and what type of internships should I pursue? Thanks in advance.

The amount of set up, character building, and overall world building Gen V did was excellent. But man, it feels completely useless after watching it. Marie and the whole team just don’t show up in any meaningful way for the finale or the final season. It’s rather surprising just how useless it feels and it’s upsetting. I for one actually liked Gen V (I think an unpopular opinion) and for the whole show to be frankly useless is ridiculous.

I’m debating between here and ucla and it’s basically the same thing in terms of cost/major/housing opportunities. The biggest thing is that I didn’t like the homelessness but I absolutely loved the campus. A bit better than UCLA. What has been your experience with the campus or the feeling of downtown Berkeley?

I’ve read that Westwood is kind of dead now. Compared to something like Berkeley’s downtown area. Is there much to do outside of the college itself or are there not that many options? Coffee shops/bars/stores/etcetera that aren’t on campus.

Just found this site and like everything is sold out. They have everything so I assume this is based on the companies themselves and their productions. So how often do these companies restock a year and do drops?

Just found out about this company and the prices look really good. Anyone got experience or some faded jeans with them?

Any grads have any info of experience with internships/careers post grad? I’ve read and seen that there are many opportunities in the film industry/media landscape given LA’s location. How lucrative is it?

In terms of internships/job opportunities during and after graduation for a bachelors. I’ve heard that people intern for big companies like MBC, Warner Bros, Paramount, etcetera. But is this common or just the outlier?

I know price isn’t the only factor, but it’s about the only factor for me that’s making me think between the two. I’m a comms major at la and media studies at Berkeley. Each have their pluses, but UCLA seems to be the best for comms. Much more connections, better department, and a better location. I’m closer to UCLA than Berkeley too. The only plus for Berkeley is that it’s half price. As I didn’t really like the campus, and the media studies major seems much less developed compared to UCLA. Thoughts?

Bought to pull the trigger on a pair of these. I like the cut (some say they’re similar to Wrangler Cowboy Cuts which I love), and am curious on the fit. Also if anyone has any fades I’d appreciate that too. As well if anyone has purchased the new Witness Cone Mills line, and what they are exactly?

Coming from someone who doesn’t want to break the bank. What company, style and ounces should your very first pair of selvedge be? Not the cheap companies, but not the prestige ones either. Which one would you go for?
