<p>^ IMO, Berkeley’s size was great. I was a chemical engineering major, not a chemistry major but both majors reside in the “College of Chemisrty”. Chemistry is not a very popular major…so it is small and intimate in a large research university setting. </p>
<p>I don’t have experiences with smaller departments, so I can’t answer your question…but I second what modestmelody said in post #16.</p>
