Comparing a research Uni with a small (women’s) LAC ain’t easy. Typically, its easier for undergrads to get involved in research at LACs bcos there aren’t any grad students around to compete for faculty time. Of course, if the Mills department in your interest is small, then its research opportunities is also likely small.

Pro: Mills has a beautiful campus.

Cons: 1) It’s located in East Oakland, one of the highest crime areas of the State. 2) To get off campus, you will need a car since there is little to walk to nearby. 3) Cross registering maybe easy, but commute hassles make it not-so-easy to attend classes (and study sessions) at Cal.

Visits both, adn ask lotsa questions.
