BTW, some of the journalism majors who write about Berkeley don’t get the complete story and thus their articles are disappointing.

Kara got into Berkeley on her own and she transferred to UCLA on her own. That’s more than many young americans. She like everyone has a right to transfer. It’s not a sin just a fact of life. I know this article was published almost two years ago but when you live in the oc, living in Berkeley is a major change in lifestyle. It’s great if you want to experience something different. I have some young adults that wanted to attend UC Berkeley and did and others that choose UCLA and did. Personally, if I had a choice, I would attend UCLA over UC Berkeley specifically for the lifestyle. The most important thign is that this young woman gets wonderful grades, and doesn’t find herself in jail like many other kids. Look at most of the other young adults on the show, none of which choose college…something must be right for Kara. Good Luck. AMFNY

its so sad that so many people say that “kara doesnt fit in and is blaming hat on berkeley”. yes, because everyone knows that the tree-squatting, politically crazed, birkenstock wearing nerds at berkeley were the coolest kids in high school . . . oh wait, they were the losers. kara is funny, pretty, social, and obviously smart, and its sad how pathetically jealous this writer is. yes, she smokes pot and thats what led her to being the valedictorian of her class . . . um, have you ever met a pothead, kristin??? your argument literally makes so little sense im not even sure what to make of it. if you had ever smoked weed in your life or known anyone who had smoked weed, you would know that those people usually arent the real go-getters of the class, and that weed tends to make people feel lethargic and out of it, not exactly the best conditions for someone studying like crazy to get straight a’s. it seems to me this girl is obviously smarter, funnier, and way HOTTER than this pathetic loser who writes blogs hidden far away behind their computer screen, and miss ULTRA GEEK cant stand that another girl can be cute AND smart, and probably wouldnt even be allowed to take a tour of berkeley. . . and if she did go to any smart school, i think its safe to say that kristin’s utter lack of ANY level of comprehension on pot makes it clear that she wasnt exactly miss popularity. im not condoning drug use, im just saying that most people who have a smidgin of a social life knows that marijuana does not in fact, possess the properties of speed and therefore would make a horrible drug to use while studying. but again, if you have no friends, how would you know this??
kristin, i would seriously suggest that you get a life and some friends, ESPECIALLY before you try to rip someone for something you so OBVIOUSLY have no comprehension of . . . its kind of embarassing.

You are obviously not a better representative of how great your school is. From your article I gather that people at Berkley are like you–rude & stuck up. I think Kara, though probably spoiled, seems sweet and has good morals.

Why doesn’t she transfer to the University of Spoiled Children? It’s closer to the OC.

What bothered me the most when watching the episode where they drive together to bring Kara to her new apartment was that they stressed that she is in a security safe apartment and made comments about all the bums. Jeana asked, Why don’t we have bums in OC? She then asked, where are all our bums? I can tell you where they are, they are in high corporate republican positions taking all the money out of the economy for themselves and giving themselves a huge bonus. If they were caring they would have felt sad at seeing homeless and with all their money should have done something about it. Instead they laughed trying to spot them and like Kara stated, “It’s like walking through a zoo trying to find the animals.” Imagine this women in society? I think not!

Kara is the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen and she’s extremely inelligent to boot.

Oh, and PhD’s in “majors of trivia” (like the ones at Berkeley) mean nothing in the real world. We laugh at you, Kristen Bender. Jealous are we???

Seriously, who lives in a tree?

Is any of this really worth getting upset over? So, another noveau riche girl with an ironically Christian upbringing is complaining about college-life. It isn’t new, is it? Obviously, she didn’t fit in at Berkeley, and obviously she was making herself feel better about that fact by criticizing an institution that is highly reputable, despite what she may say. If she didn’t realize that there would be people smoking pot at college then-well, maybe she wasn’t ready for the big bad world, quite so soon? Oh, maybe this is something to have an upstart over. Well, either way, I enjoyed writing this and hope that this situation is only anticipating a future generation of children that are incapable of functioning on their own without their parent’s short-lived wallet size, only to live a meaningless life without confidence or self reliance (A La, “I fell down some stairs/My husband loves me”).

PS: I understand and acknowledge that many, if not all, of the women on The Real Housewives have actually done a wonderful job making a living for themselves. But, that does not mean I expect their wealth to last very long. Of course, what can you expect from people that invest their life-savings in gin and then look into a mirror inquisitively, without any idea why they aren’t losing any weight?

Sincerely,
Someone that doesn’t flirt with their baseball-playing brother

Stupid, out-of-touch, selfish, self-center, spoil-rotten girl.
