That is a very open ended question and it depends on what you want to get out of it. Are you particularly looking to study EE, CE, CS, or a mix of them all?<p>The major can be very broad and if you don&#x27;t know what you&#x27;d like to specialize in, then I suggest looking at the core classes ( <a href="http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/Programs/Notes/section2.shtml#2.5" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.eecs.berkeley.edu&#x2F;Programs&#x2F;Notes&#x2F;section2.shtml#2...</a> ) to gain a lot of diverse knowledge.<p>The program is good, whatever your future plans after undergrad may be. A lot of undergrads participate in research with GSIs and professors to see if they would be a good fit for grad school; also, a lot of undergrads do summer internships to help them with their industry careers afterwards.<p>The support network is good and you are assigned two advisors; a class advisor (to help plan with courses, units, graduating on time, etc) and a professor who will give you more high-level advice. In addition, though people in the program are bright and &quot;competitive,&quot; there are plenty of opportunities to get help and collaborate. You are also often paired up with other classmates to work on projects so that you participate in teamwork.<p>I finished in 2008 and my only regrets are:<p>- Not planning my courses more carefully<p>- Not doing more over summers<p>Hope this helps.
