<p>Ugh…people have a reputation that Berkeley has giant class sizes and distant professors.</p>
<p>Smoot taught Physics 7B when I was at Cal 2 years ago–AFTER his Nobel prize. That’s Physics II for Scientists and Engineers which every engineer/scientist/mathematician has to take.</p>
<p>You’ve got all these humanities people putting down Berkeley. Its annoying. If you want to study philosophy, poli sci or whatever go do it somewhere else, say at Harvard or Yale. But nobody, and I mean nobody, beats berkeley for EECS.</p>
