Hi all! I’m a professor who’ll be starting in the spring. I’m coming from a top SEC school but I’m still expecting some big whiplash/culture shock. What are the things I need to know about the students, campus, etc
I’d appreciate any little tidbits on the less know things on things I need to know or should prepare for. Thanks! I’m looking forward to becoming a part of this community!
Hey, just moved here from socal and really missing the fruit tart I’d be able to get from Porto’s. Tried a few bakeries here w fruit tarts and it’s just not cutting it. If there’s any other fruit tart connoisseurs please make yourselves known and share recommendations for a fine young enthusiast like myself can try out! Thanks
Hey everyone! I'm Maysa, president of Poker@Berkeley. We're hosting our annual Berkeley x Stanford Poker Tournament on Oct. 17-18th. Qualifiers will take place online Wednesday 10/7 at 6 pm PST.
This is completely free to enter and play. We've been running this event for four years now with a 10k prize pool, a livestream, and an RFID feature table. Food is provided both days and we will have professors from both schools playing as bounties in the event.
Our club formally operates across both Berkeley and Stanford since Stanford isn't allowed to run a poker club under its VSO guidelines. We host a number of tournaments throughout the year, as well as game nights and networking opportunities with our quant sponsors. All of these are open to both Stanford and Berkeley students. We currently have about 800 Berkeley members and 150 Stanford members.
Here is our membership form to access our discord and receive announcements and info about the event, as well as the tournament registration form.
Let me know if you have any questions. Hope to see you all there!
i’m a first year living in a dorm, it’s been 1.5 months and i’ve gotten sick twice already (and it’s like super high fever + very bad coughing type sick not just a cold), as well as many ppl on my floor. it might be the flu or something else idk, i got tested for the flu and covid last time but results were negative for both. I rarely got sick before coming to college. this is genuinely so fried🥀
