I went to Cal and loved the experience. Yes some of the classes are huge, and I think every student will have a few of those huge classes regardless of major. But every professor has office hours and so do the TA (teaching assistants) and if you visit during those hours, you do make the big school seem smaller.

Cal is so large that your student will, no doubt, find at least a few students that have the same interests. I don’t know anything about the other schools other than I’ve heard they are good. I would love for my kids to go to Cal but they want to major in things Cal is not best at.
