Prestige varies a lot depending on your region. As a native Californian, I had never heard of Boston University before coming to this site, but had always heard amazing things about just about every UC at some point. And if I had to guess, most people outside of California (who don’t frequent CC, at least) probably don’t know the UCs besides Berkeley, UCLA, and maybe UCSD. Of course, I’m not sure how either UCD or BU are regarded internationally.

I’ll refrain from answering about which program is better, because I frankly don’t know. I know that UCD’s is decent, but I don’t know enough about BU or its physics program to fairly compare them.
