<p>Nic, I must admit… those are really compelling reasons. No joke. and Paolo… there is an Urban in Westwood Village, too!</p>
<p>GO UC BERKELEY!!!</p>
<p>Sup nic?? Missed ya dude, I’ve been concentrating on school too much lately haha</p>
<p>and congrats JANE!!! WAY to go chicka!</p>
<p>@ Evan: You and I think alike lol. I figured you’d like those. However, those were off the top of my head. A few others include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Political activism</li>
<li>Extremely high international prestige. Yes, USNWR has UCLA and UCB very close, and I agree they are close. However, in Asia, UCB is considered up there with the Ivies.</li>
<li><p>Doe Library (HINT JANE!!) lol. :)</p></li>
<li><p>Near San Francisco…I love the city.</p></li>
<li><p>You can teach classes! These are called Decals. This is one of my biggest draws to Cal. You get 1-2 units for teaching a class, and students receive the same amount of units for taking your class! Some current decals include: The Philosophy of the Simpsons, and other light-hearted classes for elective credit. I’ll definitely be teaching one if I get in/go to Cal.</p></li>
<li><p>Everyone up here REALLY respects Cal. Even when I tell people that I applied, people’s eyes widen. It’s totally cool, man.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>++ It’d be awesome if we went to the same school. Oh, and of course, if jane came as well && AJ!</p>
<p>yeah the whole anthro thing is tempting (although people have been saying otherwise about it.)
and it is Berkeley i mean come on Berkeley!!! i always wanted to be a hippie…hahahaha
yeah and the political activism.
i would have a best friend and roommate if i go, and she is awesome.
idk</p>
<p>again I am in love with L.A. right now…Nicky submit your appeal!!!
idk, i want my son with me!</p>
<p>@ AJ: Hey man! How’s it going?? I’ve been dutifully slaving away at an appeal! Apparently one of my bio prereqs was overlooked when my app was evaluated to UCLA. I spoke to an admissions rep, and I have a legit appeal case :). However, at this point, I tentatively await the Berkeley decisions!</p>
<p>Mmm… DeCal… <em>salivates</em></p>
<p>^^ precisely, my friend. Precisely lol.</p>
<p>thnx AJ! :)</p>
<p>Evan dont change your mind so fast! hahahaha</p>
<p>So…tempting…must…resist…cool SF lifestyle…activism…on campus stadium…</p>
<p>@evan no ****? thats right… hahaha. i wanna work there. sh 1 t!</p>
<p>In the end i think its about where ever YOU want to go, where ever that may be</p>
<p>even if there is more ‘prestige’ in other people’s eyes at another school</p>
<p>what matters is your experience and YOUR opinion about where you go</p>
<p>after all, you are only here for a few years, so dont let external opinions decide where you go to school</p>
<p>follow your heart</p>
<p>The Campanile! You can take a class where you learn to play the bells! I think they’re called camillons. For your final, you play a 1-hour concert for the school at the top of Sather Tower…How cool is that?! </p>
<p>…There is NO DOUBT in my mind that I will be taking this if I get in lol.</p>
<p>just found out that they interviewed ppl for the scholarship that i thought i was gonna get cuz i didnt get a rejection email…
looks like Cal didnt care to inform me!</p>
<p>-1 for Berkeley.</p>
<p>Words of wisdom from a delicious piece of bread. mmm.</p>
<p>@emil that’s good to hear man! That’d be awesome to have both acceptances! even though it looks like you’d go to cal either way :D</p>
<p>@np janey :D</p>
<p>@ AJ: You’re still on board for Berk, right? We need to rush some fraternities if we get in! lol.</p>
<p>GO GREEK. Holler.</p>
<p>Nicky and AJ if youre going to go Greek go UCLA. way better Greek life. </p>
<p>right Evan?</p>
<p>Sure? 
I’m really not sure. But I’d imaging you’d see hotter girls!</p>
<p>@emil I sure am on board for Berkeley! Can’t turn good ol’ #1 down! 
Seriously though, I do love the place - the only thing making me a tiny bit wary about Berk is the competitiveness, but I’d get that at UCLA too 
My lazy side wants me to pick Davis, but I’m not listening to it. Nobody accomplished anything by going to a college with the intention of being lazy!</p>
