<p>I was admitted to both universities...and I am having trouble deciding between the two. UCLA's highlight to me is that it is an hour away from my house so I can be close to my parents. But then UC Berkeley is Berkeley...I feel like it has a much better name, which is also important to me. Any advice and thoughts would be appreciated!</p>
<p>I suppose it depends on what you want to get out of your college experience. Do you want to study? Acquire professional connections? Take advantage of academic, career, or volunteer opportunities? Meet new people? Explore a new city?</p>
<p>Assuming you want to go to college for at least some kind of learning, you’ll want to go to the university that has a better department for you intended major; UCLA and Cal differ in quality of certain departments, so it all really depends on what you want to study.</p>
