Do not get the bootcamps they offer. They just waste your time. They cancel on me twice. After they…read morehad me paying ahead of time they canceled on me when I only had $3,000 left to pay. Now they are making me wait 30-60 days until I get my full refund. That is not fair, they are making me pay for their mistakes. I am not happy. They have $5,765 of my money and they are holding it hostage. I am very upset about this. Please don't do it, don't let it happen to you! They cancel the course and they don't even tell you why. Don't trust Edx or 2U.

I would write 0 stars if I could. I was accepted into a…read morepost-graduate program while completing a pre-req at UCBx. I had read some bad reviews, so decided it would make sense to speak with someone in the Science Admin department who might have some insight and reassurances. I reached out and was confidently told the professors for extension classes are professional, responsive, and my experience would be positive and maintain a cohesive extension of the elite reputation UCB has earned over the years. 2 weeks into the course, the professor went dark. This was an online course, so her role was to grade and comment and respond to emails and questions. Pretty light work... which clearly she did not have time for. I had to email the admin to ask them to contact the professor to grade my assignments so i could be sure I was grasping material and producing the level of work I expected of myself. Weeks went by before anything was graded. Despite this, I received short, enthusiastic, and reaffirming messages. At least I was doing work at the standard required for success. This pattern continued and I completed all course work including tests, quizzes, case studies, and essays with a very strong A. It was time to take the final, and it was a mess. Questions were posed regarding non-existent drugs (or drugs so poorly spelled they could not be identified). Other questions were contradictory, or unintelligible. The format was such that you had to click through each page to get to the next question, but the time limit was so limiting that any strategy of working back through the test to answer short answer questions worth more points first was moot. In the end, i finished 42 of 47 questions. Had the 42 points alone been graded I would have received a B. Fine. The last 5 questions however, were worth about 20% of the entire test, but the ridiculous time limit made it impossible to click through 50 pages of questions and explanations, and then click back through unfinished questions. Suddenly, my B became a C. A C grade on the final, as stipulated in the syllabus, will fail you out of the entire class. I immediately emailed the professor after the test requesting a conversation. No response. I waited 24 hours. Emailed her again. No response. I emailed admin. They replied with a generic cut and paste answer as to how to check my grade online. This is educational dysfunction at its finest. I concurrently took another pre-req at UCSDx (scheduling conflicts required I take one at each place). I had a wonderful experience with a responsive professor and walked away with an A. Im a 3.9 student who simply does not randomly fail tests, let alone finals. I have 3 days to provide a deposit and letter of intent to my new program, but cant do so unless i get some assurance I wont be failed from this class because of an absolutely disastrous test strategy and an unresponsive apathetic professor and entire admin department of UCBx. AVOID AT ALL COST.

Before I applied here, I was told by a Muslim professor that I should apply here as he would happily recommend me to study here. It sounded to be some sort of insincere sarcasm on his part. I believe they do not accept christians or if they actually do, maybe they should show in their social media non-Muslims.

I spent my first two years at Berkeley and then transferred to UC Santa Cruz for a more personal…read moreexperience. At that time, Santa Cruz was the most selective campus in the UC system. Although I liked Santa Cruz better, I still value my UC Berkeley experience. There was no handholding at Berkeley. It was sink or swim for undergraduates. Classes were graded on the curve and very few As and Bs were given. Most professors seemed to resent having to teach undergraduates, and much of the teaching was conducted by graduate student teaching assistants who themselves had little interest in teaching or ability to teach. The undergraduate students who did best were the transfers from community colleges where professors who cared about teaching prepared their students for upper division classes at Berkeley. Another noteworthy thing about Berkeley - and probably most prestigious universities at that time - was the eccentricity of the professors. Many were unpleasant and not well rounded or interesting in their own right. They were specialists in their fields but not broadly educated. Then there was the bureaucracy that one had to deal with. Probably the most valuable skill I learned was dealing with difficult people and cutting through red tape. The second most valuable skill was living in a community where there was no protective barrier separating the students from the less reputable sorts of people. All that being said, there was a vitality and intellectual flavor to Berkeley that I found lacking when I visited Harvard and Stanford. Berkeley had more of the feel and look of a university in Europe in which student life is not separated from ordinary life. I finally found the key to unlocking Berkeley's excellence when I picked up a student guide to professors and classes. Instead of selecting subjects and classes, I selected highly rated professors. As a result, one of the last classes I took was a class on Dostoevsky taught by a Polish Nobel Prize winner.
