<p>Does anyone have any comparisons/preferences specific to these two areas within Berkeley and Cornell? Which is stronger, which offers better opportunities, more well-known, personal experiences, etc. I'm debating between committing to these two schools at the moment. Any helpful comments would be appreciated.</p>
<p>I don’t know about environmental science, but in terms of prestige, you can’t go wrong with Cornell or Berkeley. Both are top-notch, known internationally, and offer unparalleled undergraduate experiences and opportunities. The biggest difference would probably be location, Northeast vs. Cali. Cornell is the Berkeley of the Ivies.</p>
<p>I’m from California and I’m not a huge fan of the cold, to say the least, but I’m looking for the rural/outdoorsy/small college town environment of Cornell rather than the huge city of Berkeley. So everything else aside, it’s between better weather or a more rural location.</p>

<p>Don’t people go to Davis in California if they want to study environment sciences?</p>
<p>Cornell is like the Davis of California. And the Berkeley. And Dartmouth. All rolled up into one.</p>
