Fiat Lux or Pay the Bucks

Hey, y’all! Welcome back to Transferring to the Top, we’re on episode 3! Today’s episode will dive into the academic lives of my floor mates and me as transfers. Coming in two years later into a 4-year university isn’t always easy but it isn’t impossible and this is an idea that Thien explores. Fiat Lux or Pay the Bucks plays on the UC Berkeley motto which means ‘let there be light.’ It aims to poke fun at having to pay so much money yet not being able to take advantage of all the opportunities at Cal. With that being said, I’ve been able to enjoy a lot of what Berkeley has to offer despite being here for a shorter amount of time.
