- Your classes! It can be easy to get caught up in the pretense of getting through your classes, picking up that diploma and moving on with life, but the faculty at UC Berkeley is world-class. Your professors are among some of the brightest talents in the country, so pay attention to what they have to say! Good luck from everyone here at the Clog, you’re going to do great!
