<p>^Dude, Berkeley is good for grad, I give you that.</p>
<p>But it doesn’t even compare to Duke in undergrad studies. Everyone in my school (I live in California, Bay area) believes Duke >>> Berkeley hands down.
I believe in the world rankkings Duke ranked 13 while Berkeley was ranked in the 30s in undergrad studies.</p>
<p>I really forget which rankings, but if someone knows what I’m referring to and can pull out that ranking chart, I’d greatly appreciate it.</p>
<p>Even if by some miracle Berkeley and Duke are similar in prestige and academics, Duke wins.
Berkeley has horrible campus, ghetto location, old buildings and no diversity at all. Its so overcrowded and a lot of undeserving people get accepted to Berkeley (I speak from personal experience as well) as factored by the high acceptance rate.</p>
<p>I’m sorry, but this isn’t even a competition. A comparison of Duke and Columbia? Duke vs. UPenn? I understand that. But this??
A UC school can never compete at undergrad level with an Ivy League leveled school.</p>
