<p>heyyyy</p>
<p>which is better for biology or bme major: ucla or uc berkeley???
such as prefessor availability, class sizes, and research opportunities, and clubs.</p>
<p>i know both universities are huuugggeee....</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>Berkeley hands down has a better BioE program.</p>
<p>At least for graduate school rankings, Berkeley outranks UCLA for most biology fields</p>
<p>…but if you want to go to Grad School, go to UCLA. ;)</p>
<p>^lol no non-prehealth biology majors (like myself) would have premeds to deal with at UCLA. UCLA has a larger premed population that Cal does.</p>
<p>I would say UCSD … but since that isn’t what you’re asking then …
I think both ucla and cal’s bio programs are on the same academic field (in terms of undergrad anyways). They both have large classes, professor availability depends on which professor you get, and their research opportunities are pretty much the same (berkeley is near ucsf, and ucla has its own prestigious medical center, and many famous bio and medical research centers are nearby).</p>
<p>
Corrected statement in bold.</p>
<p>UCSD is only strong in biology when it is directly related to biotech</p>
<p>Just pick up a set of rankings and find out facts and figures of both schools…</p>
<p>thanks soo much guys!!</p>
<p>also, do you know the major differences between biotech, bioengineering, and bme?? i am trying to decide one from the three, i will probably pull out a majors book, but wanted advice as well.</p>
<p>also, do you know any good and reliable books out there for college searches in general??</p>
<p>it’s different at every school. if you want details, just pick a major of your choice, say bioengineering at berkeley, and then go to the undergrad website (google some key words) and figure out what lower division (first two years) and upper division (last two years) classes you need to take to graduate.</p>
<p>thanks guys =) how are the atmospheres different at the two colleges?</p>
