 +**For international students:** if you want to use OPT, then you need a new I-20 F1-OPT and employment authorization (EAD) card to work in the US. The starting date of the EAD card depends on your program end date. The rules may be tricky and change over time. Please consult to the Berkeley International Office before making decision of finishing in the Summer or Fall semester.

 The downside to using the landscape environment is that you have to put it outside of the floating table environment.  This results in LaTeX putting the table in that exact place relative to the text, meaning you could end up with half the page before the table being empty.  Another alternative, at least for tables that are wide, but short, is to use the "sidewaystable" environment in the "rotating" package. Whether or not this would suffer the same problems as deluxetable when also dealing with very long tables is unknown. The downside to using the landscape environment is that you have to put it outside of the floating table environment.  This results in LaTeX putting the table in that exact place relative to the text, meaning you could end up with half the page before the table being empty.  Another alternative, at least for tables that are wide, but short, is to use the "sidewaystable" environment in the "rotating" package.
