My D’s concern with Berkeley is it’s intensity and the stories about difficulty navigating registration, getting desired classes, etc.

If your D is accomplished enough and smart enough to be accepted to UCB, she’ll be able to handle navigating registration just fine.



Cal, you should keep in mind that you may be looking at 5 years of payments, rather than 4 years. So says my brother…

I don’t see why although some people lump all of California’s state colleges (all the UCs and all the CSUs) together and sometimes make this statement. At least at UCLA and UCSD there isn’t a major issue in being able to graduate in 4 years and many could do it in less if they really wanted to. Depending on the major, some of the AP credits the students have will count and most of those accepted have AP credits. I’d expect it’d be similar at UCB and the few people I know who attend there will graduate in 4 years.
