IM DOING AN UPDATED VERSION OF THIS VIDEO comment questions below :) go bears

Thank you for all of the love and support. I’ve chosen to remove the comment because I don’t want my channel to be a place of anger and hate. Somebody said it, and hopefully someone will own it and seek remorse, but they will not own it here 💓

@Dennis Sun Interesting, Mr. Sun (btw I went to the law school so don't get arrogant). What does your white boyfriend do exactly that makes him better than her? Unless of course he makes six figures...

[@ashd9942]

Dennis Sun May I ask why you have repeatedly created FAKE profiles of Dennis Sun? You’ve been exposed on Overheard @ UC Berkeley as being a fake profile intended on harassing a progressive, and inclusive LGBT member of them Berkeley community. How dare you have the audacity to smear Dennis’ name when he’s only ever wanted inclusion on our campus. You are absolutely disgusting for running a smear campaign on an innocent man

[@ashd9942]

J W The comment above is a fake profile of Dennis Sun that’s been harassing him for months. Crystal and the real Dennis have discussed this issue in a FB group (Overheard at UC Berkeley). The real Dennis has made a post explaining that it’s not really him with proof. It’s a real shame that people are still defaming and attacking minorities + creating fake profiles to pit them against each other.

I also want to study Sociology at Berkeley as an incoming freshman, and I'm glad to hear there are so many promising profressors and lecturers (although it's Berkeley so I guess that's true for every major)! Thank you for this video :)

[@gegraham]

thank you so much for this!! i was deciding between a smaller private university or berkeley, and i really think this helped set me more on the path towards berkeley :)

congrats! go bears!!

Very informative video Crystal! Im an international student LatinX, just arrived to Berkeley. The campus is nice and green but some buildings are not in good shape and look not well maintained neither , which I found shocking. For those internationals I d like to advice that the south area of the university ( where Sather Gate and other University services and Residence Halls , University Restaurants are) is not at all in a nice and safe area, the neighborhood is quite dangerous and the environment heavy. Have that in mind if you d like to come here....

[@kae7588]

Loved this video!! I’m attending Cal in the fall so this was very informative

[@reab3019]

ah thanks you for this! i think i’m going to commit to ucsb, i don’t think i’m ready for this environment

Making that exact same choice right now so thank you so much lol

[@AnotherJournal]

Wait jk still super helpful video but you didn't compare them a ton

[@AnotherJournal]

But you did exactly what the title says :)

[@miuiminami4428]

Any classes you would recommend?

[@imcrystalsmith]

I loved History 131B with Professor Jennifer Robin Terry! PoliSci 179 is a great intro speaker series, and UGBA 176 w/Diane Dwyer is an absolute must! depending on your major of course

[@adhesive5007]

Hi! By freshman you mean what age? Can we apply here for grade 9? Loved your vid btw :)
