<p>Rod. Ha .</p>

<p>Either UCLA or UCSD, and maybe UCB. But not UCSD.</p>

4

<p>Flip a coin. If heads, go to UCSD. If tails, flip again. If the second flip is heads, choose UCB, and otherwise go to UCLA.</p>

5

<p>Why’s UCSD stated twice in your topic name?</p>

<p>Maybe it’s a sign.</p>

6

<p>Sorry, I wanted to write UCB, UCSD, UCSB or UCLA.</p>

<p>It really depends on what what kind of atmosphere you prefer. If you can, definitely visit the campuses to get the feel for it and see if you would want to live there the next 4 years. </p>

<p>As stated above, for sure UC Berkeley is the most prestigious of the 4, but though it may be the best college, it may not be the right one. I’ve seen plenty of people turn down the prestige of Berkeley to go to UCLA, and vice versa. It depends on the atmosphere and how hard you want to work in college. If you plan to go to grad school, your GPA matters quite a bit while the prestige of the school you go to doesn’t matter AS much. </p>

<p>If you want to work hard at a good school, I would go with Berkeley, but that’s just personal preference. UCLA also has a really nice campus, and I hear UCSD is really really nice as well. I really don’t know all that much about UCSB though. I would narrow the choices between just UCB, UCLA, and UCSD, but again, it’s really your personal preference.</p>

<p>And it depends on your major as well. If one college is better in your major, then I’d say go there, despite the prestige factor. For example, Cal State East Bay (if you’ve ever heard of it) has a business program that rivals the UC’s, but it doesn’t have the same prestige or big name that colleges like UC Berkeley or UCLA have, so it’s not very well-known. But if you’re looking to go into business, then that may be an option.</p>

<p>So all in all, it depends on the atmosphere you prefer, the general feel of the campus, and your major. There are, of course, many many other factors. But those are key in choosing.</p>
