Need advice and guidance!!

I’m trying to decide between Cal, UCLA, Duke, and Tufts.

I’m interested in biology. I want a school where drinking isn’t the only way to have fun. I don’t want classes to be extremely cutthroat (although I know at least a little bit is inevitable). I’ve heard Cal is notorious for “not taking care of your GPA.” I would like to eventually go to grad school, so it worries me that C’s are far more common than A’s there. Is this true for the other schools as well?
