Am I correct in assuming that 1400 on the SAT was for the two-score SAT (ie, approximately 700 on each section)? If so, 1400 on the two-part SAT (new or old) is quite good. You didn’t mention your grades but I am thinking they must be pretty good for you to get into UCLA. Being rejected by Berkeley only meant that they had more good applicants than they had room for. This is a very common theme this year (for all of the top universities).

For STEM classes (and probably any class) you will want to keep up with the work. What you learn next week will depend upon what you just took today, so you want to keep up and do homework at early as you can. With this, I think that the two questions are: Can you and your family afford it without much debt, and Do you want to do it?

If yes to both questions then I think that you have a decision. If no to either question, you do have other very good choices also. Best wishes with your decision!
