<p>Berkeley.
I absolutely positively love the Berkeley area.</p>

How about neither. They don't appeal to me.

<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>Yes, the topic is asking which I would go to, and my answer is neither and that is the answer I'm sticking with.</p>
<p>UCLA. :rolleyes:</p>

<p>You yourself have just pointed out that the topic asked 'which would I go to', so your follow up (neither) doesn't make much sense, knowing the question asked.</p>
<p>I really don't care if you hate both schools--I myself have no opinion, and would probably prefer many other schools over both UCLA, and UCB, like yourself; as a matter of fact, there probably isn't a huge mass of people that narrow their choises down to just UCB and UCLA, which is why the thread asks which between the two. I'm just saying you aren't answering the question.</p>
<p>Which would you go to? Not 'Would you go to one'. It's pretty obvious that the OP's curious about opinions people have on the two schools when compared.</p>
<p>I'd pick Cal over UCLA. I prefer San Francisco to LA and Cal's Econ department is a notch above.</p>

<p>Murasaki I said I PREFER the East coast. I never said that it was a bad location. Just a bad location for ME.</p>
<p>UCLA for getting laid.</p>
<p>Berkeley for everything else.</p>

<p>Yeah I agree with that. If you want to work in California, the business econ degree is better unless you somehow get into investment banking or something. With the biz econ at UCLA, you can take classes at the Anderson School and qualify and prepare for the CPA. A Big Four firm will prefer a UCLA biz econ grad over a Cal econ grad with the same GPA. For a lot of other companies, many of the "finance analyst" positions are not really 100% finance. Some of them, in the job qualifications, prefer a CPA or a background with some accounting classes.</p>
<p>Business economics is more similar to Business administration than it is to economics in its area of focus.</p>
<p>Therefore, if you are to compare apples with apples, I'd say Haas generally surpasses business economics at UCLA.</p>
<p>Besides that, Berkeley's economics in general is rated higher due to its professors.</p>

<p>I haven't seen any evidence of this at all--and I somehow have doubts there is any to be found.</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>If you meant to say you liked the east coast better . . . this quote threw me off majorly.</p>
<p>Is UCLA ever going to build an on-campus or near-campus football stadium? Is there a reason the university and the city/county don't get together and build a huge new stadium near the campus so the Bruins and an NFL team can play there?</p>
<p>Im for UCB.. cuz im engineering :D</p>
<p>I'm for neither...because I'm a finance major. :D</p>

<p>I forgot about that, I would favor Berkeley.</p>
<p>To be honest, I don't really know too much about either of them.. </p>
<p>But location wise? Berkeley. Only because I'm sick of living in SoCal. I wonder what Norcal's like though.. Hum.</p>
<p>i'd choose berkeley</p>
<p>Ucla! ten characters</p>
<p>i had a choice and i chose berkeley. More reputed and i lived in SoCal all my life so i was looking for a change</p>
