i dunno i’ve been deliberating this for a couple days…lemme give you a little background im interested in political science and i know i want to major in that and go to grad school (law or intl. relations…)…I’ve been thinking would it really made a difference if I went to a prestigious UC (UC Berkeley or UCLA i am a CA resident) rather than going to a prestigious east coast school (UPenn, Columbia, UChicago if i I get accepted next year, which is highly questionable)…for me the only reason to go to one of those schools would be the networking availability at these schools and maybe a calmer environment but like UC berk. and UCLA are awesome campuses and awesome environments but is that networking really worth another 30,000 a year? Input and opinions would be awesome
