Hey guy, I’ve recently been accepted to UCLA, UCB, and Cal Poly SLO. I am having trouble deciding on what college to go to. I am in state but my parents are high income so I don’t get much financial aid. My personal preference is to take as much less money from my parents as possible for college and still get a decent education. I’m not overly concerned about school reputation at this point as all of these schools are top notch and I really like the Cal Poly philosophy learn by doing. I just want to know if it is worth going to UCB or UCLA and spending a lot more money just for the name UC on my degree? I’m a EE major by the way and EECS for Berkeley. Any input will be helpful. Thank you
EE at Cal Poly is excellent. If it’s a good fit and you don’t see a difference worth the cost differential with UCLA/UCB, tlook’ back. There’s little as dumb as spending money just because others think you should.
