That depends on two things: how passionate you are about your major, and how rigorous your high school was. It is by no means a hellish experience for me, but it is for some other Computer Science/Electrical Engineering majors I sit with who can't change majors into Political Science because their parents forbid them from doing so. If you worked hard in high school and took many concurrent math/science courses you should fit right in. Also, UCLA's Computer Science program is very similar to UCB's Computer Science program.

On a scale of competitiveness I would rate it 8/10. People don't help one another unless approached, but people don't go out of their way to mess with other people's programming assignments or anything. It's more an issue of self-centered apathy than cut-throat-ness. We're not pre-meds.
