<p>The biology is good. How it compares to other UCs? I'm not sure. Many people will probably tell you 1) it's biology, so it's probably fairly similar across the board or 2) it's Berkeley and Berkeley is better, so it's better at Berkeley. I would imagine that it's better, but UCD is supposed to be very good, and since I don't know too much about either department, I don't feel like I should comment beyond what I'm saying here. </p>
<p>CNR is fine. It's not so much an area but an instiution with Berkeley. The students are supposed to fulfill different requirements and what not. Someone on the board had the impression that the classes are smaller, but I'm not sure if they are or are not.</p>
