Cal Or UCLA or USC for Econ/Bus?

<p>Hi all,</p>

<p>I need help choosing a school.</p>

<p>I have been admitted to Cal majoring in Environmental Econ. & Policy (EEP). I've also been admitted to UCLA with a pre-business Econ major and USC with an Accounting major.</p>

<p>I don't even know if I want to study Econ/Bus in college. I just know that I like dealing and helping people. I feel like I would be able to study something that I could care less about (environment, biology, physics, engineering, etc.) just fine. I just know that I enjoy working with people. With that said, I know that Cal has the famous HAAS for business, but I don't know if its worth going there only for one special program...</p>

<p>In terms of environment, I've heard both are very similar. I've read that both are very lively and have very friendly people. I live 2 hours away from Cal and about 7 hours away from UCLA. </p>

<p>I've read that in terms of academic prestige, Cal and UCLA are about the same. People are telling me just to choose where I feel like I'd be most comfortable because they are basically the same college with the same opportunities... I was very involved in extra-curriculars in HS so I think I'll be doing the same in college. Any insight on the different EC opportunities? </p>

<p>Is UCLA and Cal basically the same? Will it really matter which school I go to?</p>
