<p>May I know whats the point of this thread? </p>
<p>anyway, here’s the label for NU, Berkeley and Michigan:</p>
<p>Northwestern - well-balanced (academics, social, sports), preppy</p>
<p>Berkeley - globally reputable name, top (departmental) education, science & engineering but strong across all major fields, too many Asians, overpopulated undergrad students, liberated students & campus atmosphere</p>
<p>Michigan - almost similar to Berkeley only it’s in very cold place and significantly fewer Asians :D</p>
<p>
Tufts syndrome</p>
