Experience during the program

Compared to other schools, Berkeley Haas is strongly defined by its culture, which sounds great, but it's something to be aware of: it might not be for everyone.
On a personal level, it will nurture a strong growth as you're surrounded by diversity and classmates strongly driven by a desire to leave a positive impact on the world.
This is also reflected in the faculty which is strongly motivated to be here and will go to incredible lengths to help you out, both academically and professionally.
Haas is part of the bigger UC system (which is a public school) which more often than not can be a pain, however, it also gives access to a plethora of additional electives that one can pick from outside of the business school.
Berkeley itself it's a very sleepy place and as such it fosters stronger bonds with your classmates, with whom you will be spending a lot of time and get to know (at least interact with) the vast majority of them.
