I really like the environment here and I think there's a space for everyone! The social stuff and food around campus is super good. How much stress you take is your choice and who you surround yourself with. You can live a chill, fun, lively life at berkeley being average in studies (which is still good). Lots of people to meet + clubs to join.

Berkeley is an amazing place and it is whatever you put into it. The opportunities are like no other and you can truly change your life if you want to. There are plenty of amazing social opportunities as well if you get out there and I have been lucky enough to find myself a fun and welcoming club and set of friends.

You don't choose SCSU for its academics; you choose it because it's affordable. This place might be literal Hell. I would drive to school, close my eyes in traffic, and still end up safely parked at SCSU. As a Computer Science major, my experience was terrible. Please have some self respect and don't go here.

Need to be extra active to get opportunities. Clubs can be really toxic (require several rounds of interviews - it's like applying for a proper job). Homeless people can be inside the building at night. For the Internet, very crappy and always goes wrong and under repair.
