UC Berkeley vs. UC Santa Barbara?

I was recently admitted into both UCB and UCSB. Honestly, I didn’t expect an acceptance from Berkeley, and I already had my mind set on going to UCSB. I love Santa Barbara’s campus, weather, and social life, and felt very welcome there.

As much as I’d love to go to UCSB, I don’t know if I wanna turn Berkeley down. It has such a high reputation, and if I graduate from there, it would greatly help in finding a job. I’d love that, but I don’t know if Berkeley is the right atmosphere for me.

Any advice? Pros/ Cons would be highly appreciated. Thanks!
