I graduated in '02 with a degree in Business Administration. While the major itself was fairly easy to complete, getting into the program was a grueling process involving several layers of managing Berkeley's very impersonal bureaucracy. I found Berkeley to be fairly academically rigorous (especially in the first couple of years), and the whole ordeal of getting through major requirements proved too daunting for some of my classmates - attrition was pretty high.

That said, those that make it through this crucible and manage to graduate tend to be better for the experience. They're highly confident, smart, and capable, and I'm proud to be counted among its alumni.
