<p>Berkeley CS faculty members are super stars. Yale CS faculty are generally less known, average good professors. Berkeley faculty at EECS alone have 37 national academy of engineering members. The whole Yale university has 7 national academy of engineering members. </p>
<p>Berkeley CS has generated most Turing award (‘Nobel’ prize in computing) winning graduates. In this regard, only Stanford, or (perhaps) Harvard, is close.</p>
<p>Berkeley CS is a research power house. Yale is nowhere close. </p>

<p>Stanford CS is nearby. It means that you get more chance to interact with people from another learding CS department in the world. </p>
<p>If you drive to become the best in CS, want to invent something in CS in the future, or become a CS professor in the future, or found a start-up in the future, Berkeley is a much better spring board. However, if you worry about difficulty in graduation, need hands holding in learning,Berkeley may not fit you well.</p>
<p>Visit their websites, I think it is not hard to find which department is more attractive.</p>
