<p>That quote sums it up perfectly. </p>
<p>Only at Berkeley can you talk to world-famous professors about football or lasers and still go unnoticed when you ditch lectures. You can get as much help as you want or as little as you’d like. There’s a near-infinite amount of guidance accessible through your various counselors, but you’re free to do everything on your own. </p>
<p>Small schools spoon feed you everything you need, but at Berkeley, you need to be proactive and find stuff. If you think you need more care than the average bear, first, rethink your circumstance. If you’re just lazy, come to Cal anyway. You’ll only be forced to better yourself. Otherwise, reconsider Cal – maybe going to a smaller school will give you an opportunity to flourish in ways you can’t at Cal. </p>
<p>Just give it a decent amount of thought.</p>
