<p>Which one would be a better pick for me? I got into Cal L&S college and UCSD Jacob's School of Engineering, and want to major in comp sci. A big part of me wants to go to Cal because of my major, but the workload worries me a little.</p>
<p>What major in L&S are you talking about…?
everyone in L&S comes in undeclared. you have to declare later.</p>
<p>i say, don’t fear having to work hard. suck it up and go to CAL; your resume will thank you for it. work hard, do well, and graduate.</p>
<p>@88888888: i want to do comp sci in L&S.
@ilivefree: thanks for the advice :)</p>
<p>I lived in SD for many years and UCSD is a great school in an outstanding location. But…UCSD has a commuter school feel to it. I think you will get a much better college experience at Cal.</p>
<p>After a debate between ECE@UCSD and EECS@Berkeley, I went with Berkeley. I have had some regrets (for example, UCSD requires only six quarters of humanities whereas Berkeley CoE requires six semesters) but as far as the courses and people go, I am glad I chose Berkeley. </p>
<p>Also the internship market is pretty good if you are a computer scientist from Berkeley. Make sure that you excel in your classes and have some out-of-class projects to show (ok… admittedly that is much easier said than done, but there are a lot of students who like to work outside of class so it is a good environment), and you will be interviewing left and right ;-)</p>
<p>yea. berkeley is fun.</p>
<p>I’m guessing a lot more “recruiters” come to Berkeley than UCSD b/c 1) Silicon Valley is closer, and 2) Berkeley is pretty well known for compsci so you’d get more opportunities for internships.</p>
<p>thanks guys. i’ve decided to go to Cal. hopefully i’ll see some of you there :)</p>
<p>k give me a call</p>
