<p>I have no idea. Advice???? Financial aids at both places dictate <1k contribution annually, so money isn't really a factor in deciding. I am a SoCal local person. </p>
<p>And also, is the financial aid pretty stable throughout four years? Does having a regent scholarship at UCLA or a near-full ride to Cal guarantee that I will basically do not have to spend substantially over the next four years? (I have procured some scholarship money, Cal grant, etc)</p>
<p>Hmmm... no one has responded.</p>
<p>What's your deal? Your likes/dislikes? Have you visited Cal? What were your impressions? What do you want to study? Do you like tofu? Questions like these -- please answer.</p>
<p>It's all about fit, IMO.</p>
<p>But within a level of comfort, it's a good thing to stretch too. It might be good to get out of SoCal and get yourself to a different milieu.</p>
<p>There may be some particular issues that relate to some of the questions asked above.</p>
