Since I found out Sydney seems to have withdrawn from classes, I started looking around for posts regarding withdrawing. There is a posting on the Berkeley subreddit from a month ago entitled "Withdrawal from semester questions." Student is a freshman who is from the east coast that is living in the dorms at UC Berkeley, wants to withdraw, says there has been two recent deaths in the family, says he/she is depressed. Says they are an intended MCB major, but want to change it. They talk about concerns about losing housing in the Blackwell dorm immediately after withdrawing.
It looks as though people who post to this subreddit use temporary generic Userids. I'm afraid if I do a direct link to this subreddit post, my post will be deleted. It isn't from insyderator, but from another userid.
I was curious and looked up what MCB means and it says this stands for Molecular and Cell Biology. Someone posted a few days ago when they looked for other Reddit postings that Sydney said she wants to be a Biology major at UC Davis (this is when she did not think she would be accepted at UC Berkeley). If you look at this post via google, does it seem to possibly have been make by Sydney West?
