<p>ebonytear, according to your descriptions and preferences, </p>
<p>rivalry: berkeley (for sports)
major: tossup in quality, but smaller classes at stanford
study abroad: tossup? UC's have a really good study abroad program though, but i'm not familiar with stanford's
campus: berkeley
money: stanford
church: berkeley
undergrad education: stanford
prestige: stanford
stanford law: stanford</p>
<p>so i'd say slight edge to stanford, but i think that depends on your priorities and how important each of the above preferences that you've outlined are to you. it sounds like you can enjoy either one and you can gain solid benefits from going to either, so think it over and see where you want to be for the next 4 years.</p>
