Berkeley is a highly respected institution, with a focus/emphasis on theory and learning. A student from Berkeley does not learn as much practice, but learns how to think. It is also the best institution around for the cost...much much cheaper than a private institution for Californians. However, faculty are aloof and care more for their research than for the well being of their students, especially undergrads. Also, the faculty-student ratio is too high, resulting in almost no face to face contact with students. I would still highly recommend this institution, though, keeping in mind that this is a PUBLIC and not private institution.
