Help me make my decision (sorry...UCLA vs UCB again)

<p>haha yeah…I just keep thinking of things I want to add. </p>

<p>p.s- today I’m leaning towards Berkeley.</p>

<p>Today is a UCLA day for me.</p>

<p>I wonder which of us will SIR first!</p>

<p>Vote now!! lol.</p>

<ul>
<li>janethedoe</li>
<li>arcadefire</li>
<li>emilsinclair</li>
</ul>

<p>Wow ok I should be studying for my Bio final but this is so much more interesting! No vote from me just wanted to say that all of you guys are amazing & seriously there is no bad decision… :slight_smile: Sometimes the hardest decisions to make in life are ones that have positive outcomes. </p>

<p>If I were you guys and still this torn w/ 10 days left I would try to visit both campus’s again? I dunno… spend a day there and see if you can see yourself there for 2 years. This is a BIG DEAL but again, there is no bad decision. </p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>I think I’m kind of oblivious to the competition factor because I dont have enough knowledge about it or heard any serious “backstabbing” stories. Is the competition really that bad?</p>

<p>I will give 20$ to the person that can guess the order in which we SIR, AND where we SIR to lol. I promise. </p>

<p>After briefly discussing this with a friend on facebook, I think I know what the right decision is for me…</p>

<p>what is that Nicky!!!</p>

<p>PM me ASAP</p>

<p>lol</p>

<p>lol you’d just have to check my facebook!! haha jk. </p>

<p>You see I’m hesitant to say anything for 2 reasons:</p>

<ul>
<li>I don’t want to influence u one way or another.</li>
<li>I will probably end up flip-flopping all over the place again anyway lmao.</li>
</ul>

<p>As of tonight -this day- I know where I’m leaning.</p>

<p>lol i wouldnt be influenced…i swear.</p>

<p>where are you leaning today? tell me that! hahaha</p>

<p>Every day I change my freaking mind. But man, Bowles is the most beautiful dorm hall in the history of dorm halls. I don’t want to live in an all-male dorm, but god these are sweet. <a href=“http://image04.webshots.com/4/6/49/90/58764990rIdwpd_fs.jpg[/url]”>http://image04.webshots.com/4/6/49/90/58764990rIdwpd_fs.jpg&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>woops, that last link doesn’t work… <a href=“http://farm3.static.■■■■■■■■■■/2304/2368526373_be5b166e0a_o.jpg[/url]”>http://farm3.static.■■■■■■■■■■/2304/2368526373_be5b166e0a_o.jpg&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>hey im pretty indecisive here too!</p>

<p>how are we today my indecisive pack?</p>

<p>where are we leaning towards today?</p>

<p>lol</p>

<p>today i parked behind a car with a UCLA decal w/ a cute lil Joe.</p>

<p>then i drove past a street called…you guessed it…Berkeley Ave.</p>

<p>i see both these places everywhere, i even see their enemies.
yesterday i parked next to a car decked out in Trojan crap and later saw a car with a Stanford Mom decal.</p>

<p>wt f!</p>

<p>its like my internal confusion is being externalized by decals and street signs everywhere i go…lol…</p>

<p>Yeah…me making this decision is pretty hopeless. I say Berkeley seems like the best choice, but my heart just fell in love with UCLA’s campus and environment.</p>

<p>bumped for more…indecision?</p>

<p>UCLA is so amaaaaaazing!</p>

<p>Yeah I know it. I’ve visited UCLA like 4 times but I want to visit just one more time, haha. I’ve loved it each time. I should probably pick it.</p>

<p>Well, man. It depends on what you want for the next 2 years. UCLA imo definitely has the better ‘college environment.’ It’s so cool being in Westwood, and the campus architecture is great. I also felt like their student union area was far better than Berkeley’s. But lets not forget that Berkeley is revamping lower Sproul with a pretty big multi-million dollar project (24 study area and such). They plan to start this Fall, right? </p>

<p>Had I got into UCLA, I still would have more than enough reasons to choose Cal. Hell, if I wanted to be in my ideal environment, I would have went to Davis, home of arguably the best college town of the UCs. But environment is not the deal breaker. For me, I am excited that people in countries across the world will recognize my degree as something special and rare. I am excited to work with professors who are at the top of their fields. (Just for interest’s sake, you should check out [webcast.berkeley</a> | UC Berkeley Video and Podcasts for Courses & Events](<a href=“Webcast and Legacy Course Capture | Research, Teaching, and Learning”>http://webcast.berkeley.edu/) and listen to a couple lectures of classes you plan to take. For me, this really got me excited because these lecturers are far better than those that I have encountered at SC). </p>

<p>Call me idealistic, but I know that Berkeley will provide me with a world-class education and drive me to reach new limits.</p>

<p>yep i’m still batting for the indecisive team. </p>

<p>arcadefire dude…lol…we only have like 7 days…oh shiz.</p>

<p>Berkeley has better podcasts than UCLA. I’ll admit it! I downloaded a whole anthropology course! Whomever was lecturing sounds awesome!</p>

<p>cali trumpet: Yeahhhhhhhhh I mean, I realize that Berkeley’s got the whole prestige and recognized around the world thing going for it. But deep down I feel like I just fit in better at UCLA. But maybe I should not think of “fit” as the main concern since it’s only two years…I might as well just go get the best degree possible. On other note, I liked Berkeley’s program for my major a lot better. </p>

<p>Oh it’s definitely a tough decision. I truly wish that only one had accepted me. I had no desire to have to make this decision, haha.</p>
