The academics here at UC Berk are fantastic. They have so much to choose from in the way of education that it can be hard to pick and choose. UC Berk is ranked one of the top 5 schools in the west and will remain a large force in the education system. Once you figure out your major (which you should do back in high school) then you can choose what classes will be best for you. I am sure you will find they are all adequate and will make learning a much more enjoyable way of life.
