[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP! Please listen closely. People on these threads know nothing about the UC system, not a thing. People here are chronically cynical or just incorrect about their assumptions surrounding the best public education system in the US. Now, here's what you need to remember (and this goes for any public university): fight as much as you can and advocate for what you want and always [b]ALWAYS[/b] have a receipt or email or some printed text showing that you were given something. This is true of any public institution.

On to the education side of things, it is stellar. The UCs will give your child access to coursework that other parents' kids in this thread will not have access to. It may seem like a lose-lose at the intro level, but once you climb up and especially if your child is interested in DECALs or Graduate-level coursework, the access to top professors and research is fascinating. Berkeley and LA have great outcomes, don't let some online a**holes ruin this for you. I know it's a headache dealing with the admin, but remember how many tens of thousands of undergraduate students alone they're educating. It will get better.[/quote]

If you kid can get into those classes, and even the major they want, the most popular ones are all impacted.  UCs are a good deal for in state, not so clear for oos paying over $70,000.[/quote]
For freshman. You can get into Berkeley (where most people complain about not getting into classes) courses relatively easy after intro courses and major declaration. You'd know this, well, if you actually had experience with Berkeley.[/quote]

As long as you don’t change your mind about major and want to switch to computer science, psych, economics, poly sci, or seven other common majors.[/quote]
Maybe don't go to a public university if you don't want barriers to being an indecisive mess, then[/quote]

80 percent of college kids switch major at least once.  To be limited in ability to do so is a real drawback. [/quote]
Not at Berkeley. Be an adult and take personal responsibility.[/quote]
