UCLA vs. Berkeley for Psychology

Hi all, I was accepted to both schools (fall admit for UCLA and spring admit for Berkeley) and am having trouble deciding between the two. I’m leaning a bit towards UCLA because of its location and somewhat less competitive academic environment (or so I’ve heard), but I think the strength of the program should be the deciding factor. I’ve never set foot in either school, however, so I’d appreciate the input of current or former psych majors at either school.

You’re probably all tired of UCLA vs. Berkeley threads (I’ve search these forums enough to know there are a LOT), but I’m more interested in hearing about their respective psychology programs, which do not get nearly as much discussion on here.

Thanks in advance!
