Episode 902: Building your Berkeley community

ESS 902: Building your Berkeley community

06/30/25 — In this episode of The Not So Secret Guide to Being a Berkeley Engineer, we’re talking about finding your community at UC Berkeley. Whether through clubs, classes, or where you live, building connections can make all the difference. You’ll hear from Chimkasinma and Katie, two bioengineering students who interviewed each other about their first-year experiences, self-care strategies, and go-to food spots. Then, Edwin and Madeleine from aerospace engineering share how they’ve found support in a small major and how student organizations have shaped their time on campus.
