UC Berkeley, Oberlin, Macalester, or Sarah Lawrence?

My opinion. The UCB name is more known. But that’s not a reason to choose a school. You need to be there day after day after day for four years.

The class sizes, likely access to profs, the pace of life…,all these things will be different.

And each of those schools have grads that have wonderful opportunities.

If you make the effort, you will easily find your crowd at the others and have life altering experiences vs having to hustle to find housing and getting classes at UCB.

UCB is a wonderful school. But pick it for the right reason, not for the name.

Mac is wonderful and in city and Oberlin in the humanities. Kids in these majors will have to work harder to find opportunity….another reason to go to the LAC…they’ve cemented relations geared toward these kids. Sarah Lawrence gives you NYC access. It’s clearly a notch below the others but does well in humanities.

Good luck.
