<p>Where would you go and why?</p>
<p>Well if I could, I'd pick Brandeis because it's a nice distance away from home.</p>
<p>Berkeley!!!!! more prestigious!!</p>
<p>Brandeis is still relatively prestigious, and if you're Jewish, you can insure a nice anti-Semitic free environment while still being exposed to some diversity.</p>
<p>brandeis' prestige is nothing on berkeley's</p>
<p>Definately Berkeley. I'm sorry but i've never heard of brandeis (mostly because i forget names very easily) but whatever you choose...</p>
<p>Its all Berkeley baby.</p>
<p>Berkeley...if you can handle the 20,000 kids.</p>
<p>Berkeley. As a Jew, I can understand the attraction to Brandeis, but trust me, you will NOT learn anything when you are surrounded with people who are all just like you. (I was raised Haredi, ha. )</p>
<p>It's 60%, not 100% Jewish. It's not like Yeshiva or anything. You can still view the outside world but not have to worry about everyone asking to see your horns.</p>
<p>I would choose Berkeley. Brandeis isn't as well known, the campus isn't as pretty (I've seen both) and I think Berkeley would offer more opportunities... just my opinion though</p>
<p>Berkely is a bit better in terms of prestige and academics, but don't be under the impression that Brandeis is any slouch. While Berekly is #20, the Deis isn't too far behind at #34.</p>
<p>I'd pick Berkeley...for the weather/name/money if youre in state. But I know barely anything about Brandeis.</p>
<p>I would pick UCB over Brandeis. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Yeah. Cal over Brandeis, even though I personally do not like UCB. I don't know much about Brandeis.</p>
<p>Berkeley is definitely the more prestigious of the two. However, between the two, I would probably pick Brandeis, mostly because of Berkeley's huge size and uber-competitiveness. Also, being from MN, I like the 4 seasons, and the weather in MA would be a plus. Also, as a Catholic wrestling with the decision of whether or not to go to Notre Dame, I can see how Brandeis would appeal to someone with a Jewish background.</p>
<p>BERKELEY!!!!!! mainly because it was my dream school last 4 yrs</p>
<p>brandeis. cal is for smart kids and obviously you're not. i mean you couldnt figure out yourself that cal is better than brandeis?!</p>
<p>unless ur a superjew who can't stand people that aren't like you go to berk, duh</p>
<p>harvard or howard?</p>
