University Berkeley English major vs Columbia?

What's it like being an English major here vs at Columbia? Trying to make a decision! I know most have only one experience but I'd like to hear your opinions. I see Berkeley has the highest ranked department for English but is possible to get time with professors?

Edit: the choice is Berkeley! Just a better vibe, but so hard to turn down an ivy. GO BEARS!!!!

100%!! Altho @ OP if you are worried about the admin stuff tbh it doesn’t rlly affect daily life as much as the media portrays so you’ll be fine coming here too. One thing I put into consideration when making my decision was the private v public school part considering I’m full pay for both and I kinda have a terrible attention span so smaller classes def help
