<li>I love California; I was once in this situation before; and I know your prospective field relatively well.</li>
<li>Wherever you are coming from, you CAN survive Ithaca’s winter. Just need proper gears.</li>
<li>Being an Asian in both school does NOT make a difference. What people really care about is whether you can do well. You would stand out if you work hard and do very well in your classes.</li>
<li>Both schools are beautiful, but different. I loooove Berkeley’s Campanile, but if you go up to our McGraw tower, you get a totally amazing view!</li>
<li>Both schools are GREAT in EECS/ECE field. Can’t go wrong choosing one over the other. However, my only concern was which school gets affected more by the budget cuts.</li>
