I unfortunately coudn’t attend Discover BHP because of a conference I had to attend. Berkeley is certainly seen as one of the premiere universities in CA and the West Coast. In fact, it’s often ranked as a top 10 university in the world. Based on what I’ve read, most of the students at UT BHP get recruited to companies in Texas, especially the Austin, Dallas, and Houston area as they’re home to many Fortune 500s. It’s more difficult for them to get recruited to the West or East Coast.

Most Berkeley students get recruited into the SF Bay Area and sometimes SoCal. Berkeley is notorious for its reputation as an extremely competitive school, and not being “fun”, but I certainly think it’s beautiful and has a great atmosphere and social scene. The city of Berkeley is very unique and very close to some incredible cities.

I think my deciding factor will be cost. Good luck!
