My two cents:
We live spitting distance from Cal Berkekely. For the life of me I can’t imagine anyone choosing it unless it were the LEAST expensive option. As you pointed out, it is big. Although your depts/areas of interest may be strong there, it might take you so long to get into the classes that you want that it could take you more than four years to graduate. More expense. You have some truly great options. Why would you ever want to pay more for Berkeley?
