Ahh confused. Berkeley or CMU? (CompSci)

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Berkeley

<p>ok, I've made an earlier thread here on Cambridge vs Berkeley, but since US sounds like more freedom of choice in courses, I'm thinking about these 2 as well. I'm from Singapore, and so I don't really have too much opinion about different locations in the US, but there are A LOT of Singaporeans in CMU, and well... I don't want to go for overseas study but stay in mini-Singapore.</p>

<p>I'm admitted to School of Computer Science in CMU and L&S in Berkeley. I put it down as undecided major, since I followed website instructions for L&S CompSci. I think restrictions have changed (it's not an impacted major anymore?), but oh well.</p>

<p>Certainly the US will have more freedom of choice in courses. Berkeley will give you the most freedom of choice, because it offers a wider variety of courses than CMU. You will have no problem studying CS in L&S at Berkeley, and you will have time to study other things as well. I certainly think Berkeley is in a better location than CMU. Berkeley has A LOT of Asian students (Chinese-American, Korean-American, etc.), but it's a very big campus there is a lot of diversity. </p>

<p>If it's CMU vs. Berkeley, I would pick Berkeley for sure.</p>
