BC or UCB?

<p>Hey everybody! I am currently struggling deciding which school to go: Boston College or UC–Berkely. Actually I prefer to be in Boston and I know that BC is a great school. But I don’t know too much about the academics(especially humanities ) of BC while I know UCB is very strong at humanity. What is the atmosphere like in BC and what is the class size generally? Anybody here is a current student in Lynch School of Education? I will be really appreciative if anybody can share with me living experience in BC.</p>

<p>need more information.</p>

<p>Are you instate for Cal? Major? Are you interested in education? (Cal doesn’t offer it.)</p>

<p>Costs?</p>

<p>I am highly interested in education but also open to other possibilities such as literature and psychology. I don’t care too much about the cost actually. All I care about is the academic atmosphere and the education quality.</p>

<p>Across the board, Cal has “better” academics. Indeed, Cal has more top-ranked programs than Harvard. That being said, those are grad-rated programs – no one really rates undergrad programs, and the “atmosphere” for undergrads is much, much different than at BC. (Cal is a large, public, urban Uni.)</p>

<p>Thanks for relying. What is the general class size in Cal? Does student get lots of chances talking to the professors?</p>

<p>I’m in the same position, but I want to do pre med, and I heard it’s very competitive at both schools. And I know that professors have office hours, you just actually have to get up and go. So yes you can form relationships with professors.</p>

<p>Pre-med is competitive in any school…so have you decided which one to go? How are you going to choose between this two?</p>
