When it comes to prestige and recognition, in the public eye size matters. Among people very familiar with undergraduate education, there is not a steep drop-off. If I were hiring someone (or admitting someone to grad school) I’d be more impressed by a college degree from Reed, Swarthmore, or Carleton than one from UCLA.

But it’s true, not all Berkeley classes are huge. Berkeley offers a huge selection of classes; many of them will be pretty small especially once you get past the introductory levels. However, those introductory classes can be very important to getting a good foundation.
