What students say about University of California


Likes

  • As it is said, the University of California is one of the best universities in the world. It also provides education at a global level, and the faculty is very eco-friendly towards the students.
  • Theres no option for payment, but the experience is good and looks great on a resume.
  • Going to school in the Bay Area also gives people a great opportunity to get involved with startups.
  • Campus life was not fun due to COVID; classes were held online without any interactions with students.
  • You always have a roommate, sometimes two, and will most probably have a communal, all-gender bathroom.
  • All of them have great labs and projects in robotics, along with a great PhD student group.
  • I thought I would receive the best education here due to its ranking and faculty.

Dislike

  • The only freshman usually lives in dorms, but even the apartments around campus are quite bad and overpriced

The University of California is one of the best universities in the world and also quite popular for its study programmes and the campus . The admission process is hard and can be confusing sometime but if you have good knowledge and have talked to any student of this college earler then you will not find any problem. Firstly you have to give the GMAT exam in which you have to score more than 720 marks out of 800 to get a seat there and then have to apply for admission online. You can apply for admission online yet you have any problem than instead of visiting any consultant you must go and talk to a alumni of the college.

UC Berkeley is ranked extremely highly. They have a great engineering program as well as Nuclear Engineering. The location was amazing in terms of weather as well as prospective internships in silicon valley. It also had many great programs so that I could take more classes, and as such I am minoring in Environmental Policy and Economics. Academics can be challenging as you are surrounded by some of the brightest people. However, studying hard as well as rounding yourself off as a person can be very easy if you put your mind to it. The university offers every chance possible to do so

I got into Cornell as well but I chose Berkeley because I wanted to be near a city and in warmer weather and a school which is more fun. I chose to major in Econ because Berkeley has very highly acclaimed economics professors. I have also taken many legal studies classes because Berkeley has a culture and history of activism and I really liked all the professors.

I chose UC Berkeley because of its location and ideal temperature. It is one of the more distinguished schools and more students are accepted into Medical school when applying with UC Berkeley as your alma mater.

The English program is ranked very high and I was accepted. I received higher financial aid here than my other top choice, and the school has a great reputation. The housing is expensive, but if you look hard it won't break the bank. Professors have great reputations as well, great for letters of recommendation.
