Berkeley not the same as Berklee OK?

Author: Ern Sheong

Some of you were shocked when you thought that I am going to study Music when I said that I would be going to BERKELEY.

But I knew all along that there was this famous music school called BERKLEE, also in the States, so I was aware of the confusion.

So the conclusion is that the music school is more famous than the university, at least to some people. Anyway to be fair some have indeed heard of Berkeley. But it shouldn’t matter anyway.

Maybe I should have chosen CORNELL haha, being an IVY.
Oh no, wait, then people would confuse it with the Cornell household electrical appliances. Oops. That’s worse. Haha. Jk.

    Hey, I think Amos Tadete from our 06S04 first 3 months got a place in Berklee!

    Didn’t expect Berklee to be so popular…

    But yeah. Cornell - the appliance is one nightmare. Can’t stand the instruction manual! Wonderful piece of anti-advertisement, if such a thing even exists…
