" Very good institution with amazing professors and faculty! It is hard to establish a sense of community, however. That was the most troubling part for me and the student services are so capped out that its hard for them to help you out with mental health options. You will have the most fun if you join clubs or other organizations early on. "

" Great university, academically rigorous with great professors and facilities, however the college does lack in funding, large class size, etc.. Overall, I think that the school does a great job of preparing students to participate in the work force, however it can often feel like there aren't enough resources for those struggling. I would advise new students to reach out to advisors/upperclassmen for any advice or if there are any concerns you have. "

" Can't complain so far! It has been a huge blessing. Due to the pandemic and being a transfer student, I've physically only been on campus for 2 semesters. I did not have to opportunity to be in the social scene. I can only speak for that time and it can be a bit cut throat. Although, I am witnessing a lot more diversity! "

" It was cool, I liked it. There are some things I wish that were different, such as a better gym and more support for underrepresented students. Definitely try everything at least once and join plenty of clubs and groups "

" I loved my time at UC Berkeley, I had a really great study/life balance and made great memories interacting with really smart and interesting people. I also felt very prepared for my area of study after graduation. "
