Peer Advising
Navigating the CS major curriculum can be challenging, but have no fear! Peer advisors can give you insight into your schedule, study tips, and how best to make use of your time in the major. They can answer questions about professors, majors, student organizations, and campus life in general. Along with academic advisors, they can assist you in tailoring your experience in the CS major.
Ready to reach out to our peer advisors? Here are two ways:
- In-person drop-in advising is available:
- Mondays 1:00 – 4:00 pm
- Wednesdays 11:50 – 4:00 pm
- location: Alcove (next to 349 Soda)
- Virtual drop-in advising is available on Fridays:
- Fridays 11:50 – 3:30 pm
- Peer advising Zoom link

Justin Jun Seo Lee
Name: Hi everyone! I'm Justin, a 3rd year majoring in Computer Science and minoring in Japanese. In my free time I like watching shows and movies, and I love cats and dogs. Looking forward to meeting you!
Peter Wang
Name: Hi, my name is Peter, originally from Taiwan and currently a junior at UC Berkeley. I am double majoring in Computer Science and Data Science, with a keen interest in AI and Machine Learning research. Navigating the four-year journey at Berkeley can be challenging, especially for CS or EECS students who may feel overwhelmed by the workload. As a CS peer advisor, I aim to help students better understand their strengths and interests. By offering guidance on optimal class combinations and introducing them to courses they may not have known about, I can help them make more informed decisions that align with their goals and passions.
