<p>I want to clarify something because ucb’s post is actually really accurate. The advising here is probably the most horrid lousy excuse for a payed service that I can think of. You literally have to do everything yourself and know what you are doing. If you bank on your counselor to hold your hand through everything, you will probably stay here for 6 years or more (or drop out). If you are a go-getter, are independent, and are ok with figuring things out yourself, I still stand by the fact that it is quite impossible to not graduate in 4 years whether you are undeclared or know what you want to do or even double majoring/minoring (I am, and I am graduating a year early). If you have low self-confidence in being able to do this kind of stuff (academic planning, career introspection etc) all by yourself, you would want to avoid UC’s or at the very least UCLA like the plague. That is all.</p>
