<p>There may be a valid concern about the quality of advising, however, especially for undecided and undeclared Letters and Science freshmen. The first year schedule for an undecided student is actually harder to make, since it needs to make progress in all of the possible majors that the student may want to declare. In contrast, a student who knows what s/he will major in can just look up the recommended course plan for that major and follow it, with adjustments for APs and the like.</p>
<p>But this problem is not necessarily unique to UCs.</p>
