UC Berkeley or Emory for Political Science

<p>Hi everyone! I just got off the wait list at Emory University and am not sure if I should choose Emory over Berkeley. IMO academically the pros of Berkeley are an amazing poli sci department (ranked 6) and the cons are huge classes. Emory has a solid poli sci department (ranked 25th) and small classes and more student teacher interaction. What do u guys think?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Net price and debt for each school?</p>

<p>Are you planning to go to (expensive) law school afterward?</p>

<p>I got accepted into Emory during regular decision and chose not to go. IMO, I thought Berkeley would be much better with the IR and poli sci department. I thought only some of the really popular classes had huge class sizes-- others should be average sized.</p>

<p>Berkeley class sizes can be looked up here:

<p>Emory’s schedule does not seem to list enrollment limits or actual enrollment.</p>

<p>The price is the same for both schools for me because I am out of state.</p>
