Opinions: ND vs UCBerkeley

<p>Hey guys so I'm having a hard time deciding between U of Notre Dame and UCBerkeley, both without financial aid.
I want to major in finance, and I know both school excells at undergraduate business programs. I like ND for its atmosphere and tight alumni connections, and I like Berkeley for its rigorous academic cultivation and the brand name in Asia, the place I want to work in after graduation(I am fron Asia but had lived in America for 2 years). So, any suggestions?</p>

<p>I’ve always considered education as an investment. And it is a huge investment that it would almost define your future financial stability/status. </p>

<p>Now, if you’re investing for a future career in Asia (whether that would be in the Middle East, South Asia, East Asia or Southeast Asia), Berkeley should be where your investment go. Berkeley has several very active alumni associations in Asia and many members are some of the “who’s Who” in their respective country. </p>

<p>To be honest about it, this isn’t even a close call.</p>

<p>What’s your intended major, btw?</p>

<p>Berkeley would be my choice unless you long to be in a small isolated college town (which you may) but I would opt for Cal.</p>
