<p>Hioooo</p>
<p>I hardly see any CNR representation, even at the results threads.
So i was wondering, why'd you guys pick CNR?</p>
<p>I picked it for the smaller classes and the general research opportunities in the Bay.</p>
<p>Hi, alwayswonderines. I’m a third year CNR student. Initially, I picked CNR because I was interested in biology, but didn’t want to pursue the beaten MCB/IB path.</p>
<p>Now that I’m in CNR I have tons more reasons why I like it.</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Advising. The major advisers, in my experience, are easy to get in contact with and will pull strings for you to help you get the kind of learning experience you want.</p></li>
<li><p>Faculty advising. You’re required to meet with your faculty adviser once a semester. That means if you come in with a declared major, you’re forming a relationship with a professor right off the bat. My faculty adviser is very friendly and approachable, and getting to know him took a lot of the anxiety out of getting to know other professors.</p></li>
<li><p>The best couches on campus are in the CNR Student Services Center.</p></li>
<li><p>10 pages of free printing a day.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Feel free to PM me with any questions. :)</p>
<p>What is CNR, and why do people on CC never explain the acronyms they use?</p>
<p>Sorry, CNR stands for College of Natural Resources.
[College</a> of Natural Resources - UC Berkeley](<a href=“http://www.cnr.berkeley.edu/site/index.php]College”>Rausser College of Natural Resources, UC Berkeley)</p>
<p>It’s one of the colleges within UC Berkeley, along with the College of Letters and Science (L&S), College of Engineering (CoE), College of Chemistry (CoC), and College of Environmental Design (CED).</p>
<p>I’m in L&S right now and I’m trying to apply to CNR 
I’m excited, I’ve heard a lot of awesome stuff about the specialized attention CNR students get in terms of counselors and resources</p>
<p>I applied to microbial biology though I tried to apply to molecular toxicology, but couldn’t cause they closed the major. I mainly applied because of the specialized support and the fact that I won’t be bundled with the MCB kids and stuff. Can any CNR students shed some light on the microbial biology major/the rigor of the college as a whole compared to MCB/IB</p>
<p>@magnificent6 lol i applied to microbial biology too!</p>
<p>Nice I hope we both get in!</p>
