Great Professors and Opportunities, Classes Fill up Quickly
Many of the professors here are very passionate about what they teach and usually have some exceptional past accomplishments. Obviously there is always the occasional lecturer/professor who just don't captivate their students at all, but if you do your research you can usually avoid those professors. What can be frustrating at Berkeley though is the registration process. Classes fill up quickly, and if you have a bad appointment time for class signups, you may find yourself on a huge waiting list that you sometimes never get off of. Overall, though, I am very satisfied with the academics here. Lots of people also study abroad, which is a great opportunity!

Easy Access to SF, but Only Frat Parties in Berkeley
There isn't much of a night life in Berkeley itself, especially since Blake's just closed. However you will find an abundance of frat parties on the weekends, which are usually a lot more fun as freshmen but they tend to lose a little bit of their appeal after that. But that's just a personal opinion. If you are looking for good night life, SF is just a BART ride away; or, you can take the F line there for free as a student!

Don't Park Illegally!
Parking can be pretty hard to find in Berkeley, especially if you're in a rush to get somewhere. Parking enforcement is also ridiculously strict, so it's generally not a good idea to just park your car somewhere and "hope" to get away with it.
