Despite
some of the negative things and low scores I gave
the school I would never have gone anywhere else. Berkeley
has a range of students, friendly, arrogant, competitive, down to
earth, easy going, snobby, approachable, etc. You honestly just have
to find your niche and once you do, the world
is literally at your fingertips. I didn't want to go
to Berkeley at first, I just applied because I applied
to all the UC's, but I didn't really get in
anywhere else (Columbia, Northwestern, Amherst, etc) so I went up
here and I fell in LOVE. There is absolutely nothing
like walking down to class and having a view of
the bay, golden gate bridge and san fran city skyline.
I've never gotten used to it, it's beautiful! I fell
in love with my major and every professor who's class
I've taken, but I've done my fair share of research
on ratemyprofessors.com and refuse to take a class with a
professor with bad reviews. I can't tell you how many
times people told me this campus is what you make
of it, I roll my eyes thinking about it. But
it is completely true. It's up to you to go
out there and find whatever it is you're looking for.
It may take all 4 years but when you find
it, it's so worth it. Also, best advice I had
coming into Berkeley: Don't get caught up in the competitiveness
(Sociology is a known easier major, but this goes out
even to the pre-meds and business students) It can be
easy to get caught up in the academic part of
Berkeley, but there is so much more to life here
and it will go by in the blink of an
eye so my advice: take risks, go out to san
francisco with your roomates the night before a midterm, you'll
never remember the tests you fail, but you'll never forget
the nights you spent not studying for them. TRUST ME!
So jealous of you all embarking on this journey please
don't take it for granted.
