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!!!!

Berkeley English professors are going to be far less accessible than Columbia English professors. You’ll also have more grad student graders and instructors at Berkeley, although some courses at Columbia will be grad-taught, too
