<p>UCLA or UC Berkeley</p>
<p>I'll start: UCLA</p>
<p>I'd pick UCLA too</p>
<p>UCLA !! ten characters</p>
<p>again???????</p>
<p>ucla!!!</p>
<p>My pick: UCLA :)</p>
<p>????????
I thought UCB was the top public school... why UCLA?</p>
<p>When I visited both schools, I really didn't like Berkley, it seemed boring and not full of sane people... and I personally like the LA better than the San Fran area. It's your own choice though.</p>
<p>everyone has their own opinion. what was urs</p>

<p>UCLA is now very close academically to Cal. Therefore, a lot of people choose for "better fit." </p>
<p>In California, both schools are just as selective and hard to get in.</p>
<p>I had my choice of Regents and Chancellors between the two (well, actually, UCLA's is seperate or something like that--I just know I got a letter thing and an email) and chose UC Berkeley.</p>
<p>I felt it was a better fit, the academics were better, and the administration/faculty was far, far friendlier.</p>
<p>I suppose it's personal preference.</p>
<p>My Reason To Pick La Over Cal
Location-i Like La Area
Relative-lots Of Help From Them
Better Sports(spirit??)-but Cal Is Pretty Good Too
Academic-almost Same...</p>
<p>Berkeley. Why? I am very interested in politics and berkeley students are very politically active. Berkeley is just a jump skip and hop away from san fran (<3 san fran) Berkeley has top-notch humanities programs.</p>
<p>UCLA. I've just always liked UCLA better, no reason really.</p>
<p>How about neither. They don't appeal to me.</p>
<p>UCLA. Not even close.</p>

<p>The topic asks which you would go to, not would you go to either. (If you were held at gunpoint, which one would you choose).</p>

<p>I think giving reasons helps, but that's just me.</p>
<p>Berkeley</p>
<p>Bay Area > smoggy, superficial LA any day.</p>
<p>and in terms in undergrad selectivity, yes they're close/same... but not in terms of academic reputation.</p>
<p>It's a hard choice....both are overrated, both are in a bad location (west coast), both treat undergrads like dirt, both have TA's teaching seniors, but both have great academics.</p>
<p>I guess it comes down to fit.</p>
<p>Neither appeal to me....</p>
<p>East coast>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>West coast (UCB/UCLA)
Big(UCB/UCLA)>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Small
Liberal Arts focus>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Science focus (UCLA/UCB)
etc etc</p>
<p>interesting how you see it so negatively...</p>
<p>Haha . . . the entire west coast a bad location . . . my sides hurt.</p>
