What is the default access specifier in c#

[chandubaba]

Hello,
what is the default access specifier in c#. In college everyone says its private, but in the textbook its written "When you do not specify any data member as public, protected or private the default access specifier for a class is internal."

And in one forum I read that default access specifier for class is internal but for class members is private. But again in the same forum someone says everything is private. Which is correct?

Things declared outside of a class or struct will default to internal. Things declared inside of a class or struct will default to private.

Top-level types, which are not nested into other types, can only have internal or public accessibility. The default accessibility for these types is internal.
