<p>Hi! I've been wavering between Berkeley and Davis for the past month...I am working towards a career (don't really know what yet) that will be in the theoretically up-and-coming green industry (helping the environment by working toward a more sustainable way of living)</p>
<p>At Davis I am interested in civil/environmental engineering and environmental policy and planning (EPAP).</p>
<p>At Berkeley I would love to do environmental engineering. If that doesn't work out I guess I would find something to do in the College of Natural Resources.</p>
<p>Financial situation-I have Regents at Davis so that's $7,500/year.</p>
<p>How hard is UCB engineering? Is there anyone out there who is familiar with environmental engineering at UCD or UCB or just in general? </p>
<p>Please help!!! Any advice, comments, suggestions, or wisdom would be awesome.</p>
<p>I think Davis would be better -- historically Davis has been a very green community. There are whole housing subdivision built with solar energy homes, and the bicycle thing has always been very strong there. Davis was offering environmental studies majors long before it caught on at other schools. So I just think you are going to find a better fit for your interests there.</p>
<p>But the caveat is that I really don't have current information. I am a Davis grad from a long time ago.</p>
<p>Davis may emphesize green stuff at their school, but berkeley's program would probably be just as good or better as ucd's even in that respect. cal is arguably the top public school in the world, and you'd be passing up a pretty good opportunity if you chose ucd over it. cals enviormental program is pretty good from what ive heard.</p>
<p>Cal's CNR program is outstanding and is very collegial, about as far from cutthroat as you can get on campus. </p>
<p>There has also been a lot of green industry around the university, it's well integrated with Haas and the other engineering majors. That's one major advantage Cal has over Davis there.</p>
<p>Go to Davis if you like the Aggie atmosphere a lot better, but academically, Cal is peerless, even as a "green" major.</p>
