<p>Well if it means anything I like Stanford better, but it really depends on the type of person. At Berkeley and Stanford there are similar opportunities, but Stanford is much smaller, therefore the resources are more accessible. However, if you want to, you can take advantage of the opportunities at Berkeley as well. I just feel like it is easier to achieve what you want at Stanford because there is more individual attention. But there are people who thrive in the classroom as an anonymous member of a lecture.</p>
<p>It's really an argument of to each his own, but one thing that really turns me off to Berkeley is having to go in with an intended major. I don't know how hard it is to change (haven't don't any research on it), but having the ability to wait 2 years before declaring a major at Stanford, I feel is a luxury. While I feel like I may want to pursue Computer Science right now, I know that I can easily change to Art History if I find that I am more passionate about that.</p>
