Great opportunities
Berkeley is not a place for everyone. For those who enjoy a large student body, lively surroundings, demanding courses and fascinating students, Berkeley is the place for you. For those who are a little timid or unsure of their ability to be independent, I would suggest a smaller school.

Excellent education
I graduated from Berkeley last year and I'm currently a grad student at MIT. I like it here as well, but I still miss Berkeley...

Good experience
My best advice for new students is this: pursue what you truly are interested in. If you try to go for the "practical" alternative, you may very well end up miserable. It's very hard to succeed here if you are not truly dedicated to what you want to do.
