Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Berkeley

<p>Im deciding between umich and berkeley right now and i'm torn because theyre right next to each other in rankings and are very good schools. </p>

<p>I need to know more about berkeley, can you guys tell me about it?
I live in New York, so I have no idea what cali is like ( im gonna visit though)</p>

<p>Anyway, what I was concerned about is that sometimes I hear that if I want to work in Finance/IB/Consulting, location wise, Ross is the better choice. Do you guys happen to know how the job recruitment is in Berkeley?
And I also hear that not a lot of people of Berkeley come to NY to work on wall st.
so if they don't come to NY where the main financial district is, where do they go to work?</p>

<p>And what are your opinion on the 2 year program (haas) vs. 3 year program (ross)</p>

<p>please share your opinions/advices</p>

<p>Since you’re OOS for both is there a price difference between Berkeley and UM? You’ll want to factor that into your decision. </p>

<p>Most Haas students intern in San Francisco or in LA, but some do land internships in NYC and end up working there so it’s possible. This thread may have some helpful info <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-california-berkeley/1321246-economics-investment-banking.html?highlight=haas[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-california-berkeley/1321246-economics-investment-banking.html?highlight=haas&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>if you want to move back east right after college with a job, better chances of doing that after going to UM. </p>

<p>but if you wanna hang around the west coast, then it’s plenty easy to grab something out here through cal/haas. so many alumni saturating the financial district here (ie: SanFran), you’d be surprised how many are willing to make phone calls for you just b/c you go to their alma mater.</p>

<p>good luck making your decision</p>

<p>Money isn’t really one of my concerns fortunately. Then how about academics? which school would prepare you better for the jobs and MBA?</p>

5

<p>What you learn in school doesn’t really matter for Jobs/MBA. Both schools should do an equally good job preparing you for life.</p>

<p>Both are good and are the rare schools that can give you academics, athletics, some semblance of a social scene and a college town.</p>
