<p>I want to go to a school with a good engineering program (I’m majoring in mechanical), but I also want to have a social life. It would be helpful to know how much work you have to do, how people are like, and what things you can do for fun at each school. I have to decide in less than 5 days, PLEASE help.</p>
<p>are you kidding? :)</p>
<p>if you are talking about Berkeley located in CA, not the one located in NY, you have to definitely choose UCB…pomona isn’t an option…</p>
<p>pomona isn’t an option? Berkeley is good but don’t say pomona isn’t an option</p>
<p>true that… pomona is a great option, message me for more info</p>
<p>Berkeley…its a no brianer!</p>
<p>Overall, I would go to Berkeley but yes Cal Poly Pomon’s engineering program is not bad also. UCB has a better research due to their offerings of doctoral degrees and has numerous research labs and while Pomona only offers up to a Masters. So if you going to focus on more research, UCB would be a better option. Cal Poly Pomona is more focus on application (hands on research).</p>
