UCLA or UC Berkeley??

Applying to College
1

<p>these two have become so close in .. everything.. that I would have a tough time deciding. Berkeley as of now has more name-prestige... but its in the slums.. while LA is a growing/rising star and i believe will overtake Berkeley soon if not already.. and it is my prejudice that UCLA has cooler, laidback kids. (and better looking?)</p>

<p>any opinions on this?</p>

<p>UC Berkeley, definatly.</p>

3

<p>For engineering, Berkeley is an easy choice (ranked #2 behind MIT). The choice is tougher in other fields.</p>

<p>do you know if thats true in all engineering or only in specifics (mechanical/civil..)</p>

<p>i think i am considering something along the lines of biomedical.eng</p>
