<p>I got accepted into both, and I am having a hard time deciding. I got accepted to both as a political science major but I would like to change my major to international studies (I eventually want to do international law). I am originally from Miami so either school would mean a change of scenery. I am interested in greek life and having fun, but I am also extremely focused when it comes to school. HELP???</p>
<p>Berkeley political science or international studies is stronger than UCLA. Berkeley is on semesters. The San Francisco Bay Area has much better public transportation…you will not need a car to get around. Football is played on campus in the newly renovated Memorial Stadium…this impacts Greek life vs. driving 20 miles to watch a football game like you would if you’re at UCLA.</p>
<p>I agree on all counts. This coming from someone who’s born and raised in LA.</p>
<p>Between the choice of UCB vs UCLA, which one would you recommend for business or public health. I am an incoming freshman got admitted to both and I have hard time deciding. I feel a little bit uncomfortable about UCB co-ed bathroom. Is there any other option in residence halls or any plazas like UCLA.</p>
<p>I can’t give as informed an opinion about public health, but at least as far as business as concerned, there really isn’t much of a comparison. Berkeley’s Haas School of Business has consistently ranked within the top three undergraduate business in the country, whereas UCLA doesn’t have a pure business major. (Note that you do need to apply again to Haas as a sophomore if you choose to go to Berkeley.) Each university is a little more suited for students looking to eventually work in the surrounding area, so you should also consider that.</p>
<p>Attend the overnight stay program or OHP or similar program, spend a night in the dorms, and see whether it will be an issue. </p>
<p>Most students live in outside housing, not university dorms, although most stay in the dorms their first year. The area has a huge number of apartments, homes, co-ops, frat/sorority and other choices where you could live, many of which have unisex bathrooms.</p>
