I was thinking exactly what @ucbalumnus just stated: If you do not want to miss the “college experience” of living on-campus, you can live one year on campus at UCI and still save the dorming costs for three of your four years.

Any of these three universities will be very good for premed. Any will offer many good options if you change your mind about being premed. I personally might be just a tiny bit nervous about the alleged grade deflation at UCB, but grade deflation will be a bit of an issue in any premed program.

To me UCI looks like a very good option, but I am not sure that there is any bad option. Expect to need to work very hard in your premed classes, starting on day 1.
