<p>I’m taking MCB 130 and MCB 141 right now, so I can’t comment much about the two classes. If you want to get a taste of what MCB 130 is like, head over to [webcast.berkeley</a> | UC Berkeley Video and Podcasts for Courses & Events](<a href=“http://webcast.berkeley.edu%5Dwebcast.berkeley”>http://webcast.berkeley.edu) You can watch past lectures of the class.</p>
<p>You should look into getting a studio apartment on the North side of the campus. The North side is generally more quiet than the South side, but of course, it also depends on your neighbors. And yes, dorm rates are outrageous.</p>
<p>I suggest taking no more than 14 units of upper division bio courses.</p>

<p>Stop giving advice on a subject that you are completely unfamiliar with.</p>
<p>MCB sponsors most of the upper division molecular genetic and genomic courses on campus. All the genetic courses offered as PMB courses except for PMB 160 (Plant Molecular Genetics) are also crosslisted as MCB courses. These are MCB C134, C145, C146, and C148. In addition, MCB also offers MCB C142 (Survey of Genetics) and MCB 140 (General Genetics). The latter should interest you more as it is more in-depth and has more molecular genetics material.</p>
