<p>Overall considering all the factors: Location, Academics, Social Scene....what do you guys recommend</p>
<p>Berekely, Ucla, UCSD, or Harvard, Yale, Penn</p>
<p>that's a really subjective question. if you're asking because you're wondering where you should try to go, i would say don't let other people's opinions of schools make or break your decision. YOU do the research and decide what YOU think.</p>
<p>Harvard. They give you great financial aid for your education and it's the number 1 school in the world.</p>
<p>Plus it's a private school so they have alot more resources than any public school.</p>
<p>Thats not to say I'm not extreamly happy to be going to Berkeley.</p>
<p>i'm transferring, and i heard UCLA, and Berkeley are really good in transfering and really good in financial aide, plus i'm in california too....</p>
<p>What is your major? Mine's electrical engineering and I'll much rather go to Berkeley or UCLA than Harvard or Yale.</p>
<p>They're all almost equally as hard to get into as a freshman. Tough question but here's my list in order of personal preference:</p>
<p>Harvard
Yale
UCLA
PENN
UCSD
Berkeley</p>
<p>wow another ranking thread....we dont get many of these</p>
<p>rich people with small-***** syndrome ==> Harvard, Yale
others ==> Cal, UCLA, UCSD, Penn</p>

<p>For someone attending such a good school, I am surprised you would make such a fatuous claim.</p>
<p>in my opinion..</p>
<p>penn -- harvard -- yale -- berkeley -- ucla -- ucsd</p>
<p>ok, so tell me what do harvard and yale possess, except the "prestige", a vacuous concept in itself, attached to these school?</p>

<p>I never made the claim of superiority. Clearly the women who attend Harvard do not do so because they have "small-*****-syndrome." I have many friends at Harvard, Yale, and Princeton, and all of them are the most humble students I have ever met. Do not even start me on UCB students. </p>
<p>Clearly, you are resorting to baseless generalizations in order to sate your insecurities.</p>
<p>Just for kicks: Yale has a significantly smaller class size than UCB. That is one benefit I can identify off the top of my head.</p>
<p>There are reasons why HYP are ranked significantly higher than UCB, and a bigger endowment is not the only one.</p>
<h1>1) UCSD doesn't belong on these lists.</h1>
<h1>2) For students who live on the West Coast, UCB and UCLA are perfect choices.</h1>
<p>Citan, it was an opinion, take it easy. I don't go to any of these schools and by no means am I rich. I was just saying that if I were to choose... </p>
<p>Again trying to help the guy/girl out. Why would you attack me like that? </p>
<p>Go for a jog or something, take a deep breath. Get the anger out. Do something...</p>

<p>But most of those reasons inevitably come down to finances :)</p>
<p>UGGGGGGGGGGGGGGH HARVARD IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OVERRATED. its not even funny</p>
<p>personally (note, i said PERSONALLY) i'd rather go to berkeley than harvard bc of its location, diversity, and plus its way more affordable. thats the beauty of a large public school: DIVERSITY in every sense o the word..harvard is isolated/boring and and its packed with snobs and elitists, (my observations)....</p>
<p>well, it really depends on what you like. Small classroom, resources, tuition, financial aid, etc. If I were to pick, I would choose any school that is small but also providing lots of resources. But again, money is an issue to me, I can't afford to go to those private schools. It seems that UCB/UCLA/UCSD/UCD are not that bad at all. Diversity is one thing, think how many international students want to get in... worldwide reputation...wow</p>
<p>well.. personally.. I would prefer an Ivy school if you can afford that.. Because I always think private school provides better resources for students as they are "rich"...</p>
