The University of California at Berkeley is probably one of the best colleges when it comes to academics in the world. Its has one of the best research facilities of all American colleges with Duke University trailing just a little behind. They also have online classes that anyone can take, all you have to do is check them out. Going in to science like I have I was pleasantly surprised to find that there are many people here who are obviously better than me. But then that is what I wanted to find. Its easier to learn from people who know tons more than you do. I'm very happy with the quality of the learning at the University of California at Berkeley.
