Culture shock at Berkeley
So, I have a running list of stuff that is different at Berkeley (the campus...I could go on and on about Berkeley as a city vs the vacuum outside the Pomona bubble) Here's what I have so far...- Classes are HUGE
- Buildings are GORGEOUS (unlike butt-ugly Millikan - sorry math and physics folks...)
- Library is HUGE
- ...and PRETTY!!
- Getting things done gets very complicated...
- Class ALWAYS starts 10 minutes late (very good for an 8AM class)
- The average Berkeley science major: "AAAAAAAA hw AAAAAAAA test AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"
- Berkeley students aren't that intelligent as a collective whole. It's very frightening how little some people know outside of their major. Truly frightening.
- People don't turn off their darned cell phones during lecture! (total count so far: 13)
This morning, we were going over wave interference, and the prof mentioned Young's double slit experiment. A Korean girl next to me nudged my arm and asked what it was. I told her it was an experiment that some dude named Young came up with, and she chuckled and said, "Funny name."
*blink*
Been around non-Asian people much? :-P
