<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I'm an international student, and I want to major in Theatre & Performing Arts, and minor in Creative Writing, at UC Berkeley. I was wondering if NYU is better than UCB.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>You mean better for what you’re studying, right? Berkeley’s english program is top, but you’re only minoring in that and NYU has a better theatre program so if you’re sure you want to focus on performing arts then ya go to NYU.</p>
<p>However, a ton of people change their path during undergrad and I think Berkeley is a better “safe bet” since, generally speaking, it is regarded as a better school overall than NYU.</p>
<p>Thanks, it helped a lot. So it’s harder to get into Berkeley, compared to NYU, right?</p>
<p>I would say definitely yes.</p>
<p>Our kid got into both. As California residents, sticker price was $66K (NYU) vs. $30K (UCB). A no brainer. Go Bears!</p>
