<p>Better to take the BART or Caltrain to get from UCB to Cal?</p>
<p>Sorry for sounding ignorant, but what’s UCB, Cal, and Berkeley? Aren’t they all the same school?</p>
<p>Cal > UCB > Berkeley</p>
<p>No, I disagree. Cal is known mainly for its Golden Bears athletes. Berkeley is the awesome academic institution, and UCB is just a big state school. thus Berkeley > UCB > Cal</p>
<p>^ I see where your coming from. I wholeheartedly agree.</p>
<p>hahahahaha</p>
<p>Well Cal has its ups and downs. But as a student from a small private school in Anaheim who really had a tough time making this decision last year, I have to recommend Berkeley. Its hands down the better school.</p>
<p>And don’t even get me started with UCB, that place is full of hobos.</p>
<p>whaaaat. hahahah aren’t they all the same?</p>
<p>If you think they’re all the same then you’re probably not smart enough to get into any of the 3</p>
<p>@xpolly: Nope. Cal = 3 letters. Berkeley = 8. I thought they taught you this in Pre-school?</p>
<p>I enjoyed this.</p>
<p>If you plan to party hard, I would suggest Cal. However, if you hardly party, definitely go to Berkeley.</p>
<p>dammit. i’m attending the wrong school. I thought i submitted my SIR to UCB, the big state school that’s supposed to have affordable tuition, but everyone here keeps talking about fees at Berkeley keep going up and up. public education ftw! maybe next time around i’ll consult the forums before deciding which school to go to…</p>
<p>what has this thread turn into… lol</p>
<p>You guys are so helpful! I’ve officially decided to go to Berkeley instead of Cal. I didn’t get into UCB…</p>
<p>Great choice Hidinginacorner, I think Berkeley will be a great fit for you, it’s much more catered to the student who wants top notch academics and a well rounded social life. Most people have a hard time adjusting at first but everything falls in place nicely and you’ll get much more opportunities than you will at Cal. </p>
<p>Forget about UCB, you’re going to do great at Berkeley.</p>
<p>For those who haven’t caught on, Cal, UCB, Berkeley, and Berk are all one of the same lol (when I first read the post’s title, I was thinking “uh oh did i apply to the wrong place? lol”.</p>
<p>I laughed at this. Brilliant.</p>
<p>Did you read about the triplet sisters-one admitted to Cal, another to UCB and the third, poor thing, only got into Berkeley-she’s appealing, of course.</p>
<p>Ugh it’s definitely harder to get into Cal OOS…Berkeley has been taking more OOSers this year, which is probably why I got in. I didn’t even bother applying to Berk…it’s trying to encroach on Cal and Berkeley’s reputation. UCB was my safety, so I’m glad I got into Berkeley also</p>
