<p>...wish i went to UCLA.</p>
<p>better weather, beautiful girls, cleaner campus and surroundings. (and facilities and restrooms aren't old as sh1t...)</p>
<p>but i chose berkeley....</p>
<p>why?</p>
<p>the engineering ranking. #2 to #25. i'm going to be an engineer so what was the logical choice? </p>
<p>all i got to say is it better be fking worth it!</p>
<p>You must be from NorCal.</p>
<p>And since you still have to be highly intelligent to go to UCLA, the girls there aren't much better than Berkeley. And since Berkeley opened in 1868, it's the oldest campus...</p>
<p>Their dorms are pure crap. I'm sure it's going to be worth it.</p>
<p>It's what you make of it. If you walk in during Welcome Week determined to have a bad time, you'll be in trouble...</p>
<p>You'll thank your lucky stars when you get into the job market and you get the primo jobs over UCLA engineers. ;-)</p>
<p>Here's hoping you don't stay discouraged, and you find that the Lair of the Golden Bear ain't too shabby after all!</p>
<p>the lair of the golden bear? what has gotten into you Larry?!?!?!?!</p>

<p>theres no doub tthat ucla has BETTEr girls overall, if you like THOSE kind of girls</p>
<p>you dont go to berk for girls</p>
<p>You don't go to college for girls.
You go to clubs. If meeting girls is the only reason you are going to college, then you might want to reconsider your priorities.</p>
<p>clubs ? hahaha u gay</p>
<p>you can still meet girls but that shouldnt be the focus of where you go to school--only talkin about looks anyway</p>
<p>I think beastmaster's right about going to clubs for girls.</p>
<p>Shoot, I forsook UCSB to go to CC so that I could transfer to Berkeley : (</p>
<p>But I have a friend who's going to UCSB so I'll be visiting up there now and then : )</p>
<p>i'm from socal.</p>
<p>You don't go to college for girls, but can't say you won't go for girls at college. (heh)</p>
<p>and i'm not really into clubbing. and meeting girls that way doesn't feel right. </p>
<p>good luck to every guy out there in my shoes.</p>
<p>I'm from SoCal, and personally hate the UCLA atmosphere. Then again, my sister loved it, which is a big reason she went to UCLA. UCLA and Berkeley are really very different places, so it doesn't surprise me when someone overwhelmingly likes one over the other. UCLA is just so...Hollywood, manufactured, materialistic, fake, it seems (to me). Berkeley tends to be just the opposite.</p>
<p>yeah i'm going to ucb over la for engineering too.</p>
<p>Yeah, many people from SoCal don't like the UCLA atmosphere. We're pretty tired of it. It feels like four more years of high school, not college. I agree with most of what eudean said.</p>
<p>To the OP: </p>
<p>Have you considered transfering?</p>
<p>CardinalFocused, I don't think he's considered that as he's still awaiting to see what it's going to be like. And if he did consider transferring he should only consider transferring to Stanford or a better school.</p>
<p>Berkeley is WAY better than Stanford.....Yep, i said it Sakky.</p>
<p>It's very hard to transfer from a UC to another UC anyway. It's also hard to transfer into Stanford. Anyway, I think the OP should give Berkeley a chance before thinking about UCLA. And in my opinion, the girls don't really matter. There are good-looking girls and not-so-good-looking girls on both campuses. If you can get a good-looking girl, you will no matter where you go. If you can't, then it doesn't matter how many good-looking girls are on the campus anyway.</p>
<p>I think that the whole mumbo jumbo about it being so much "harder" to transfer from UC to UC is just that- mumbo jumbo. I know plenty of people who transfer to UCLA/Cal from UCR, UCSC, UCD with GPAs ranging from 3.3-3.7</p>
<p>Really? Well...::shrug:: :)</p>
<p>I don't know, it seems like it would be easier to transfer from UCR to UCLA than from UCB to UCLA. I mean, the former makes sense. The latter...well since the academics are comparable the UCs may not want you to transfer from UCB to UCLA. That's just a theory on my part though.</p>
<p>well i don't know about ucb being better than stanford... becuase i'm a stanford reject who ended up in ucb... in fact... stanford broke my heart...like a slap in the face</p>
