<p>^I don’t think anyone asked about Duke?</p>
<p>Anyway, I’ve never heard of Imperial (I live near LA) and I don’t think most of my friends have either. But from the other comments here, I get the feeling that Imperial is a prestigious university (more than LA) that is well known in Europe, and it has more difficult academics (but we’d probably need someone who has been to both to know for sure).</p>
<p>UCLA has a more marketable lifestyle (and they do market it). I guess it depends on 1. where you want to live/work and 2. get out of your college experience. If you want a well-rounded college experience where you grow as a person, make lifelong friends, and have some fun while you’re at it, choose UCLA. However, if you want to learn, choose Imperial.</p>
<p>I would choose LA, but I’m probably biased. Sorry about the lack of organization in this post haha.</p>
