Even if he said “Berkeley’s undergrad experience is like other state universities”, he/she probably referred to large classes, professors not attentive to undergrads’ needs…etc. It’s a common myth and many people have that perception about all public universities. It doesn’t mean he’s saying Berkeley is at the level of, say, Cal State Northridge. Alexandre has seen many perceiving Michigan as just that and he uses his personal experience to counter that. Maybe TheCity truly shares the view of many (instead of purposely riling you up like you assumed) and you could have explained to him how Berkeley is different instead.
