Student review [#97665] for Chemistry
at University of California Berkeley - UC Berkeley

I have greatly enjoyed being a UC Berkeley graduate student. The workload has been challenging as expected of an R1 institution, but the environment and resources available on such a large campus have truly made my experience meaningful and helped me succeed. My experience with professors has been that they are dedicated and passionate about their teaching, strict but fair. It’s also a lovely place to live if you love being outdoors and temperate weather. I hear from undergraduates that the dynamics can be much different and much more demanding as you’ll be constantly split between classes, work, and orgs, but your people are somewhere on campus–you just have to find them.
