Why does your only concern appear to be aesthetics at Berkeley?
Dorm age, fault lines, homeless walk-arounds. Really? You’re going to miss out on Berkeley because of those things? I’ve never heard a student, here on CC, mention fault lines. We’re near the San Andreas, but we don’t think about it in everyday life.

It sounds like you aren’t open to anything that appears “ugly” or “old”. You have a lot to learn.

Regardless of the education, the aesthetics appear to be your driving force. My daughter loved Davis but if she had had Berkeley as an option, she would have tried. As a Davis student, she lived in some not-so-nice places and dealt with homeless clients in her clinics and she never spoke about earthquake fault lines.

Live at home; go to Berkeley if you think you are ready for it.
Live at home; go to Davis, if you think you can handle it.
