Berkeley Difficulty Level

<p>Wanted to get fellow CCers thoughts on Berkeley's difficulty level compared to other schools. Specifically from people who have taken courses at other universities as well. We all know that Berkeley is known to be difficult, but do you guys think its really as difficult as people make it sound? I feel like most of the people who say it's impossibly hard are the ones who don't actually go here. Don't get me wrong, I do find Berkeley challenging and I need to study my a** off, but I feel like if most people put in the effort, they would do fine here too. I can't help but wonder though if my GPA would be higher if I went to another university.That being said, even if you could guarantee me a higher GPA at another university, I'd still stay at Cal =] </p>

<p>Thoughts?</p>

<p>(I'm an MCB:BMB major/CS minor if you're curious)</p>

<p>What are your CS classes like? I’m just starting in the college search process and Berkeley looks amazing.</p>
