Yea, I would really like to know that too.
I’m a semi-nerd who doesn’t drink or party, and so far am pretty much leaning towards CMU because of academics (aka, guaranteed major at a good CS school vs. coming here and being undeclared for 2 yrs, then having to apply for my major), and because I think? CMU would have a social atmosphere that better fits me.
(Please feel free to agree/disagree with that)

But I feel like I’m not looking at everything and that Berkeley has something to offer, that CMU doesn’t, that I should be considering…aside from weather (and possibly money), I can’t place my finger on it. So aside from err…lists of names of people I don’t know, I also would appreciate if current students would say why they like UCB.
