<p>I can't decide where I should go next year! I would be a Cognitive Science major at both schools. I know UCSD has an amazing biology program, and I love the weather and the location, but Berkeley has such an amazing reputation and so many research opportunities. What should I do?</p>
<p>Did you visit both? They are very different.</p>
<p>I prefer Berkeley’s atmosphere to UCSD.</p>
<p>If I’m faced with the same situation, I’d go for Berkeley in a heartbeat. Unless you are financially struggling to attend Berkeley, go for otherwise.</p>
<p>UC Berkeley would get the choice in this one</p>
<p>Berkeley come on! it’s a no-brainer, really. Unless you;re talking UCLA against UCSD then maybe the latter.</p>
<ol>
<li>which school has the better program … I believe UCSD is better ranked</li>
<li>where do you feel most comfortable</li>
<li>UCSD is a rising star in recognition vs the other UCs so any perceived edge in name recognition enjoyed by UCB/UCLA is quickly fading … especially in the sciences.</li>
</ol>
<p>No matter how high UCSD rises, Cal will always be on the very top. It’s a no-brainer. Go to Cal.</p>
