     I'll be going to UC Berkeley.

That's my number 1 school choice, but I live in Washington, so I can't afford it... why do I have to love a public out-of-state school?!

Isn't UDub (my apologies if calling it that is a sacrelige) a very good school in its own right?
Well, it may be, but Berkeley is perhaps the premier public school in the world.

     Washington has a burgeoning physics department, though it is still a mere shadow of Berkeley's physics department.

Didn't you go to a small-ass private school?  It'll be quite a leap for you to go from 7 people in your classroom to 700.  Although physics classes are only ~200.

     I went from being in a class of 1 to a class of 10 when I enrolled there. If I could adapt to the transition from homeschool to private school, I think I can handle the switch to public school.

lol, if you say so.  I don't really see the big difference between 1 and 10.  Also, private schools with such ridiculously small class sizes tend to lavish attention upon you while in Berkeley you're presented with opportunities, but only if you independently pursue them.  No one really cares either way and no one holds your hand and gives you ideas.

One time I used to actually have classes back to back that were 7 people and 700 people respectively.

     It's a big difference when you enter the class of 10 with literally almost no experience socializing with people your own age.
