<p>Hey guys so I'm having a hard time deciding between these two schools.. accepted to Berkeley for the Spring Semester but the FPF program looks cool.. any opinions?</p>
<p>From previous posts, it looks like you’re from New Jersey. If cost differences are pretty significant, I’d go with the less expensive choice. If costs are same, I’d choose for the college environment you prefer. Michigan has more school spirit, but Berkeley is the top public university in a dynamic urban setting with a lot to explore.</p>
<p>The FPF program fills up fast, so you should submit the deposit ASAP to reserve a spot. It’s only $115 so you won’t lose too much if you decide on UM instead of Cal.</p>
<p>I am in the exact same position as you! Choosing Berkeley because of the local atmosphere, weather, school spirit, and campus life opportunities (even though Michigan has these as well).
This might help too:

<p>Michigan has a slightly better football program if that makes any difference…</p>
