So I am in a private HS in Minnesota, I tried to get in Vandy with ED but failed. I now can choice between Emory, Cal, GaTech, UIUC and BC. (I am a CS guy)

Cal has been my first choice since I did a precollege program there last year. I stayed in I-house last summer because other housings are full, so I hangout with people there(mostly Europeans who went to Haas) so I did not really get to know student life at cal that much.

However recently I heard that cal students are not social, and the girls and guys are not good looking, and many people receive need based FA. I am really social and I always hangout/party/chilling with friends throughout the weekend. Especially kids here are usually very nice and people cares about others a lot. Since Cal is a public school, I am really worrying that if Cal students only focus on academics and people are “active” during every weekends.
