I went to Rice University, but I've been in and around UC Berkeley enough to think its an excellent way to spend either undergrad or grad time there. Going to college is a very personal experience though, so I'd never blanket recommend a particular school without knowing the applicant very well.
Like all schools though ... "goodness" depends on which major you're considering though. Most schools are known for the excellent output of a few particular departments (unless they're mostly known for their football team :P).
