[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting - UC Berkeley sounds a lot like UCSD.

My spouse was a science major at UCSD, and had his first and only panic attack when we visited the campus 15 years after he graduated. The price (back then) was fantastic, but otherwise it sounds like it was a malignant pressure cooker filled with vicious premeds.[/quote]

These stories are interesting coming from a flipside large public. I went to University of Arizona, there also was no comradery, people showing up to class but not interacting, and there were weaselly engineering students jockeying for position.  But they were more the dumb, lazy variety always, "is this on the test?"  curves where 20% was high passing, occasional student caught pulling fire alarms on test day, etc.  For anyone motivated, there was boundless encouragement from professors, and opportunities. I feel like my education was very good, but almost zero academic interaction with peers.  Certainly didn't recommend it to my kids.[/quote]
