Bala–As a Bear Backer(Cal) and a DD @ NU…I can only speak to those two schools. Their social environs are VERY different. Cal is a LARGE public university, NU is medium sized private. Niece graduated with 2 degrees in Chem at Cal-you are correct in your assessment that Cal is cut-throat. The great thing is that if you climb to the top-you are on Top!. NU seems to be not as cut-throat. It doesn’t mean you won’t have academic challenges, it is just more collaborative in nature. My two cents-APOL
