<p>Which would you choose? I am out of state so I won't get state tuition in Berkeley. These are my concerns:</p>

<ol>
<li>CA is in a deficit. This might make it hard for me to get class requirenments</li>
<li>I'm in LSP at NYU, forcing me to take a rigid first two years. I feel this will be boring or will make it hard for me to dabble in different majors.</li>
</ol>

<p>Now, which would you prefer and why. Include the setting as well. I don't know what major I want to do yet. </p>

<p>Thanks</p>
