>>>....besides being the top graduate school in the U.S. and #1 ranked public university in the world, the largest student organization there now is the College Republicans <<

Pardon me for being an old sceptic...but do you have sources for these claims?

absolutely......use Google....U.S World News & Reports ranks the universities every year....they are the primary source used by academicians and business etc....when you look at the undergrad ranks, UCB is # 21 or so but the #1 ranked public institution.....

.....if you google the graduate school results, you’ll have to look at the disciplines like business, law, engineering, math, chemistry, physics etc.....Cal has more top 10 grad programs then even MIT, Harvard or Stanford. And if you look at engineering, chemistry, physics, computer science etc, Cal will be in the top 3 of most hard sciences and even the most of the social sciences..... and top 10 in law, business etc...

.......I know Cal gets a bad rap from it’s reputation of the 60s and 70s, but what most people don’t know is that it is one of the world’s premier institutions....and anyone that really knows this area would tell you so.... UC system is has also been in charge of all the nuclear weapons labs since they begun after WWII........

Minnesota is credited with the most growth in college Republican membership, with more than five times as many students involved in chapters than four years ago. The University of California at Berkeley contingent of College Republicans was recognized yesterday as the chapter of the year. It has 500 members. http://www.washtimes.com/national/20030727-122654-6392r.htm (this was a few years ago)
