Berkeley College is a small vocational-oriented college with campuses across New York and New Jersey. Schools with similar calibers include University of Phoenix, ITT Technical Institute, DeVry and others. It's probably not very selective and as long as your check clears, you can probably get in.

UC Berkeley, also known as Cal to alumni and sports fans is ranked as the #1 public university by US News & World Report for several years. Berkeley College is a small vocational-oriented college with campuses across New York and New Jersey. Schools with similar calibers include University of Phoenix, ITT Technical Institute, and others.
Okay so the peanut butter has nothing to do with this but i was eating it so i added it =]. Anyway which college do you think would be better for me? I defiantly want to go into Fashion Marketing/Merchandising. I also want a very college like experience with as many men as women. LIM is much more focused on fashion, but they also seem to really want to get your foot in the door in the right direction you want it at. I also want to really know my peers & not feel alone in New York City. Which one is better for me? P.s- Is Berkeley College very hard to get into? p.s.s- do you know anything about Berkeley lifestyle?

If you are talking about Berkeley College in NJ, then you should know that it is a "For Profit" college that is not very selective. For Profit colleges can be accredited -- but are rarely very good. It won't be easy to get a job after graduation. Berkeley is particularly sleazy because they chose a name that will make people think it is a different school. On the other hand, if you are talking about The University of California at Berkeley -- then you are talking about one of the premier universities in the world. Their marketing program is part of the business school -- which is ranked the #3 undergraduate business program in the US (behind Wharton and MIT). And -- just so you know, college students in NYC are not particularly lonely. It is a great city to live in.
Especially the one in Paterson? I want to go there & become a buyer. They seem to have the best program outside of a huge city. I'm a little scared of moving to a big city like New York just yet. Anyone with experience tell me what they think of their program: http://www.berkeleycollege.edu/Academics/Programs/Descriptions/BS/BS_FashionMarketing.htm If this link doesn't work: http://www.berkeleycollege.edu/ - click on academics and then bachelor degrees. The program is under Fashion Marketing and Management. I think I'm pretty good at picking out outfits for people and putting new things together and I read a lot of fashion magazines and books. I've been watching Project Runway, though, and it seems like sometimes, I totally disagree with all the judges. I know it's art so people will have different preferences, but as a buyer who will buy for an entire customer base, it worries me when I disagree with established designers and magazine journalists. I am trying to learn as much as possible about designers and trends from different decades but it's so overwhelming. What kind of stuff is expected of me when I go to school? Anything in particular? Should I go in having a lot of knowledge about designers or fashion lingo or fashions of different decades and countries?? HELP

It is an unranked for-profit school (all real colleges are non-profit) whose main claim to fame is that when their students say they went to Berkeley a lot of people will mistakenly think they went to University of California at Berkeley. Don't go there -- go to a real college.
