Berkeley vs. UChicago

<p>QsterOO, it sounds like a great combo. do you know what kind of engineering you want to major in? I did Industrial and Operations Research at Cal, and a minor in Econ. EE is pretty cutthroat at Cal, it seems hard to combine with English and Film. Otherwise, it’s a great choice. What sets Berkeley apart from nearly every other top school (except maybe Columbia and the Boston schools) is the culturally stimulating nature of its environment. You bathe in it. Great film scene, starting with the Pacific Film Archive and all the rep theaters in Berkeley and SF. Great scene, without the fakeness or celeb focus of LA. You’ll get half of your film perspective from there.</p>
