It seems pretty fucked if you are studying for a differential equations test or something and people are throwing m80s and bottles as you are walking to the library. I though the point of school was to pass your classes so you could get a decent fucking job, not to get involved with identity politics dipshits and vandalize shit. I feel like people have lost sight of what college is for. You don't need to spend tens of thousands of dollars at college to be exposed to new views. You can join any number of online groups for that. The point of school is to prepare you for the workforce so you can be self sufficient. If I was a studious person actually interested in that, I would stay the fuck away from Berkeley right now.
Hey, this is libary.

That depends, if I was paying $20k/yr for an engineering degree that might earn me a decent salary after, enough maybe to pay those loans off, I'd be pissed.

If I was paying that for a degree in "women's studies" that's probably gonna wind up with the govt garnishing my social security after 40 years serving coffee to people at Starbucks, I might not care so much. :roll:

If you went to UC Berkley for the former you deserve the latter.
