<p>geejay91, I went to Girton College myself and majored in CS. I’d recommend UC Berkeley to you. It would surely be a different experience for someone who go to / have gone to Cambridge. Berkeley would offer you an entirely different ambiance; superb science, engineering, business and IT education; California, sun (lol), prestige, people, and environment as a whole. You would enjoy it there and learned from the best people in the field. And it is in California – arguably the best US State.</p>
