Are you from California? If not, is OOS tuition affordable for your family?
I think Tufts would be best for you because it’s in the middle of what you’re looking for- enough undergrads where things are happening on campus and there’s a lot of variety to the classes you can take, but it’s not gigantic like Berkeley, and you’ll be able to have a connection with faculty there. Tufts came off as less “preppy” and more “quirky/boho/outdoorsy” to me when I visited; of course, Berkeley is probably going to win on the “less preps” front. I find it interesting that you think Berkeley is “chill”…what gave you that impression?
