<p>Got into UC Berkeley (M.Eng Engineering and Project Management) and UCLA (Civil Engineering). My common sense tells me to go Berkeley but I feel like UCLA overall would be a great fit for me even though it is not as highly ranked. I feel like I would only choose Berkeley because of how prestigious it is .. opinions?</p>

<p>How come you apply to two different programs? what do you want to do eventually after grad sch?? Berkeley is THE BEST Civil program in the nation… so what’s making you going for LA instead?</p>
<p>It’s not always about rankings. If you’re going to be miserable at Berkeley, you’re better being happy at UCLA, which is still a great school.</p>
<p>Of course, before making that decision, you need to think long and hard about what would make you miserable and Berkeley and what would make you happy at UCLA.</p>
