<p>Hey I just got into Vandy and UC Berkeley, and I am just trying to decide where to go. If anyone with some knowledge of both could give me some advice about that I would be really appreciative. I know both schools are like polar opposites, but I just cannot make up my mind!</p>
<p>Are you a transfer student??? Very different atmospheres....Where are you originally from; maybe that would help?</p>
<p>What do you want to major in?</p>
<p>Seriously, you are talking about polar opposites. You must have some sense of where you think you'd fit in best.</p>
<p>I picked Berkeley over Vandy, but I probably have very different reasons from what you are considering. I was given no finaid at Vandy or Berkeley, but I did get a small scholarship from Cal. I'm a CA resident, which made me want to stay here even more. I applied to these schools with different majors - biology for Vandy, business for Cal. I decided to forgo my premed career plans in the end.</p>
<p>What kind of financial aid offers are the two schools giving you?</p>
<p>Which would cost more to attend? What are you thinking of majoring in?</p>
