95% of the people giving it the lowest rating aren't even students nor do their opinions associate with the academia of the school. It seems the raters are extreme right and accuse everyone of being liberals without even knowing. Yes, there are conservatives at this school as well as the Republican Club (this is why conservative speakers have been invited to speak there). These negative reviews are based on the recent riots (and past from a long, long time ago), and most of the rioters weren't even students at CAL! What a shame to base non-student rioters with the hardworking students who are the majority and not involved in the rioting. It is like saying all Blacks are the same, or all Whites are the same. Those reviewers are accusing them of having low I.Q.'s but look who is calling the kettle black (no pun intended). If they had low I.Q.'s then how come UC Berkeley produces the a great amount of notable alumni's? Plus their acceptance rate is low so it is a pretty elite school for the intelligent. And YES, I do agree with the other reviewer that the loud ones (the rioters) got more media exposure and attention, so they got noticed, but there are much more students who were quiet and did not participate but working hard elsewhere (studying and trying to get places). I am not a student at Cal Berkeley but what I do know is that their is a lineage of notable alumni's that have graduated from this prestigious university with such a rich history. These alumni's have contributed much to society...and No, they aren't rich spoiled kids either like some of the jealous (maybe rejected) reviewers have rated...they are actually the opposite. How could you be a "tree hugger" and also rich spoiled kids driving BMW's? Wouldn't that be a conflict of belief and interest? Especially if majority of the kids don't have cars not because there are no room for student parking, but because everyone there walks or rides their bike! It's such a shame that these emotionally charged reviews are based on what they have seen in the media. The review should be for the beautiful cultural and historical aspect of the campus and the academics the university has to offer. The alumni's that are produced from this school are one that should be envied. And just a note, I am not a Liberal.
