Your opinion on UC Berkeley

[UCBChemEGrad]

<p>

I’d also like to point out that it’s ironic in the quote posted by IBClass that Brown is for the “risk-averse”. I think that a university which is structured so that all of its students are always acting as risk-takers is better than a university structured in a way that risks seems daunting to most of the student body. The fact that Brown students are taking courses in 15 or 16 different departments over 32 courses is better than having a few students who take a few exceptional risks and most students never leaving their comfort zone. Everything around the Open Curriculum is designed so that your comfort zone can be expanded. It’s designed so that you find the engineers and physical sciences taking high level course work on ethnographic research (insert some other area they wouldn’t normally explore).

You must have missed my post, modest.</p>

<p>I said my English Lit class had 20 students and my Demography class (which included several grad students) was 15 students. You don’t need a small LAC environment to get the small liberal arts classes. Berkeley offers both.</p>
