[quote=Anonymous]UC Berkeley's academic strengths are across the board, not solely in STEM fields.  In fields such as English, history, geography, sociology, anthropology, comparative lit, classics, psychology, and many others, Berkeley is often considered among the top-10 institutions in the country for those disciplines.  It's one of the attractive things about a well regarded state flagship -- the academic offerings are top-flight across most majors.

The first 2 years at Berkeley do tend to be large lecture halls, especially in the courses you'd expect, such as Introductory Physical Chem, Intro to Data Science, or lower div CS.  But if you're studying humanities, you'll have a lot of classes that are 50 ppl or less by sophomore year.  By junior/senior year, you'd be surprised how many smaller class offerings there are, including senior seminars of 15 ppl apiece.  It's pretty cool having a Nobel Laureate teaching your class and really caring about the subject matter/teaching in general.[/quote]
