<p>Really guys, since when is Brown that amazing? A lot of people at Berkeley got in there or would have gotten in if they had applied and they’re not all picking Cal for financial reasons. And stop obsessing about the budget cuts, if you can afford Brown, you can definitely afford the Cal tuition. Nothing else is really changing at the UCs besides the cost so you will get a great education if you go to Cal. Just pick whatever you like better, it’s not like there aren’t advantages to going to a big school in the bay area.</p>
