I got into Berkeley, Irvine, and UCSD as a comp sci major (transfer from cc).

However, I've decided to switch to a classics major because I'd rather put my balls in a blender than take another hard science class.

I've narrowed my choices to Berkeley and UCSB (I didn't get in, which they said was due to their strict engineering standards, so I figure I could appeal under a different major). SB honestly seems to have the superior classics major program http://www.classics.ucsb.edu/catalog.php. Look at all of those cool classes as compared to berkeley: http://sis.berkeley.edu/catalog/gcc_list_crse_req?p_dept_name=Classics&p_dept_cd=CLASSIC&p_path=l.

Both are awesome compared to the other school's classics major though.

So, UCSB and UCB people, can you tell me a bit about your school and how you like it? I know there have been similar threads, but I need all of the info I can get. Thank you.

You chose classics solely because you don't want to take hard science classes? I hope it goes deeper than that...

It's good you are studying something you love. Do you have any plans for what to do with this after college? The earlier you do the better, I think.
