Thanks for the reply!

I was definitely interested on the prestige of each school outside of the US. Like your parents mine want me to go to Berkeley only because of the price, even though my mom is a trojan herself…

As for where I’d be the most happy I until now always thought USC because it was a dream but I need to give Berkeley a chance too, can’t get stuck in tunnel vision.

My friend who goes up there is planning to stay up there and work after he is done, most of the people he talks about who get the “great” jobs are also permanent residents of the SF area. That is what I want to avoid, I want to live in So Cal. People I know professionally and personally all live here, although I’m sure I can gain contacts there I’d rather return to my mother land.
