UMich vs. UC Berkeley?

<p>UCBChemEGrad, I think that claiming that Cal’s faculty is vastly superior to Michigan’s, or that undergrads would actually feel a difference in the caliber of the faculty is overstating facts. Michigan’s faculty is universally counted among the top 10 in the US. Cal’s is among the top 3. Is there a difference in quality? Yes. Is it significant? Not under any reasonable definition of the term. Do undergrads benefit in any way from that insignificant difference in the quality of the faculty? Highly unlikely.</p>
