<p>There are schools where it is easier to double major than others. Berkeley does have some impacted majors and students should be aware of this. As far as advising goes, where is the student responsibility? You’re at school for many years. You can’t take a few minutes to go online and see what the requirements to graduate are. You can’t make an appointment with an advisor? I went to Berkeley and the advising was not great when I was there. It appears it isn’t great today. But come on, it’s not that hard to look things up. </p>
<p>Here is some information…
If you major in econ for example.

<p>That took less than 2 minutes to find.</p>
<p>Berkeley is very generous with aps and the majority of kids I know can graduate in much less than 4 years. (Maybe, that is not a good thing?)</p>
