<p>I’d have to say my experience is opposite of Keely but that might be due to different majors. I’m an EECS major but I’ve met some pretty down to earth people. It might be due to the forced student collaboration we have in our courses but for the most part, I haven’t run into anyone who was an outright jerk. EECS students aren’t really all that outgoing because of the huge amount of studying we have to do so I stretch out to other majors for fun. </p>
<p>That being said, I know plenty of people who go out and drink, hit the bars, clubs, etc. I’m 30 now so I’ve gotten to that point where going out all the time isn’t in me but I still hang out now and then. Join clubs or check out frats/sororities if you really want to be a social butterfly. Best way to meet people. </p>
<p>All in all, anyone going into EECS, be prepared. It’s a rough transition from CC to UCB but nothing too overwhelming. If anyone has any questions about EECS, feel free to ask.</p>
