[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UCB for his career goals 100%. Prepare him that he might hate it the first two years. His peer students will try to sabotage him and he should be wary of collaborating, it’s that bad. Some classes grade on a curve where only 10% can be As etc and a solid portion are Cs, Ds and Fs. UCB attracts and accepts cut throat kids who aren’t above playing dirty and cheating. There is simply too much pressure and at stake for some of these kids to not mess up your lab experiment when you walk away, screw up your code if you don’t log out, or give out the wrong notes. It’s not a new thing, spouse went there 30 years ago and had to endure it. He said it greatly diminishes once you get past the weeder courses. Everyone is nice outside of class just don’t trust them in class.[/quote]

Why would anyone want to attend a school like this?  Sounds absolutely horrid.[/quote]

Seriously! It can’t possibly be this much of a disaster or who would go?[/quote]

Because it’s prestigious! It’s similar to how frat types will go through complete humiliation and set their morals aside to get in. [/quote]
