<p>I am a white male who is thinking of majoring in econ. and/or history. (Yes I know I must apply for the school of haas at the end of my sophomore year at berkeley). Considering all things (soical life, education, location, etc.) which is better and maybe more prestigious...I wanna possibly become a lawyer if that helps. Plus I love sports and socializing...Thanks!</p>
<p>Berkeley is more prestigious. UCLA is a big name as well, but not nearly as high esteemed outside of California. Berkeley is like Ivy status in parts of the world. That's all I know for sure, everything else is hearsay. Go to the Berkeley and UCLA boards to hear that hearsay.</p>
<p>Edit: Wow, the name Berkeley is aligned in all three lines. A sign?</p>
