<p>I am lucky enough to have been accepted into UCLA bus econ and Berk Haas.
And I know the obvious choice to most would seem Haas.</p>
<p>But I am having trouble deciding which college to go to because I love the UCLA campus, atmosphere, and my closest friends go there. I feel like I will not be happy at Berk. Is it worth it to put happiness on the side and just get through haas?</p>
<p>But I’m also planning to go to grad school for my MBA or JD. </p>
<li>Therefore, will the campus I choose just for my undergrad make a big difference?</li>
<li>Am I more likely to get a better GPA at UCLA, thus increasing my chance of getting into a good grad school?</li>
<li>Is the business program at haas as cut throat as people say and “you’ll never get sleep”</li>
<li>Anything else I should consider?</li>
</ol>
<p>Thank you in advance for taking the time to respond</p>

I think you answered your own question.</p>
<p>If you feel that you will be miserable at Berkley and don't think it's the right fit, then don't go there. Have you visited both schools?</p>
<p>I have visited both schools. And I feel that I fit into UCLA more, but my concern was the fact that Haas is a once in a lifetime opportunity and it would only be 2 years...</p>
<p>Go to UCLA. There's not going to be that big of a different in opportunities. You'll find the happiest people in life are also the most successful - it's not worth going to Haas if that's not what you want.</p>
<p>Berk Haas is incredibly competitive, but it is a better program overall. IMO, UCLA's Econ program is great, but Haas is just a step above. And plus, I'm sure that the Haas alumni association blows the water out of UCLA</p>
