<p>Oops, I didn't answer College_hopeful...</p>
<p>Here goes:</p>
<p>I chose CAL over Georgetown (how did you know I got into Georgetown. It behooves me unless you were on the Georgetown board) because of the distance. I loved all my three campuses (UCLA, CAL, and Georgetown) and all offered an excellent education. However, Georgetown was just too far for me and I would get a little homesick (such a sissy, I know). Georgetown offered me a pretty good FinAid package and gave close to $18000 in scholarships. However, they upped by EFC by $4000 and I didn't want to burden my parents since they are paying for my undergrad and grad education. Berkeley provided a decent education (though not close to D.C. for politics, but it has the Ninth Circuit Court and California Supreme Court nearby) for a lot less.</p>
<p>The weather (the thought of GW Parkway as I mentioned before) and the day we arrived wasn't too great.</p>
<p>I never expected to go to CAL, but life takes you in different directions sometimes.</p>
