i’m so scared to go to berkeley

on thursday i was accepted to uc berkeley and was the only uc i was accepted to besides ucr and ucsc. but since then i’ve kinda only been seeing negative things about the school.

while i know berkeley is extremely prestigious because it is very academically rigorous im kinda concerned i may not be able to handle it. for context in high school i have a 3.7 uw and 4.2 w gpa, like not even sure how i was accepted. but i keep seeing everyone say its extremely difficult to keep up a strong gpa and have a good social life. is this true even if im not a stem major, im a humanities/social science student?

also if ur going to berkeley/already attend please let me know your favorite things about the school because i’ve mainly only seen negative things. thanks!
