As a History major should I attend UCLA or UC Berkley.?

As the director of a very good graduate studies program, I can tell you that Berkeley's program has a better national (and international) reputation, although as the above person noted, UCLA's program also has some particular strengths which you might want to consider.\n\nBut all other things being equal, I would probably favor the candidate with the UC Berkeley degree over the candidate with the UCLA degree in graduate admissions.

Depends on your major but I will go with CU because I am applying to their masters program. However I have only lived in Colorado a few months so I don't really know much about them.

Truth be told - both campuses are generally college towns. UCSC and Riverside are the two campuses with "business" as an actual major. That said - if you're going to school in Econ - you should select Davis because academically - its the superior school. However - if you're looking for the generic business major - sure - SC might be better.\n\nAs for dorm life - as trite as this may sound - you make your own experience. Both schools keep in mind are generally commute schools on the weekend. Also - just keep in mind who you want your peers to be. The difference between the two UC's academically is not substantial - but UC Davis is in between very selective and selective whereas Santa Cruz would be considered selective - in some cases, not very selective. \n\nAs for demographics - UC Davis has a much stronger Asian American population than UC SC - UCSC's Asian population is not as prominent. \n\nSure Davis has cows - but its pretty college town. Santa Cruz is right next to beach board walk so you'll have better weather in general.

Harvard or Yale, if I had the money.

Check out USC (University of Southern California). I graduated from there with a degree in International Relations and I loved it. Most of the professors have written the books that you use in a majority of the International Relations courses taught across the country in other universites. The curriculum is very focused and the school is smaller than the others at the University so you can get the personal attention and access to the professors that many other big programs cannot offer you.

UC Davis is ranked a little higher.  Of course, it is also in the middle of nowhere.\n\nUC at Berkeley and UCLA are superior to either.

Harvard is preppy and MIT is nerdy. I'd go with MIT because geeks are cool!

Maybe include something about why you're interested specifically in UCLA - let them know that you are looking to go there, not elsewhere.

The UCLA website offers a huge variety of diverse majors along with a detailed description of what the major is and what it can be used for.  It even gives a list of what jobs each major would work for.  Even if you are not interested in UCLA for college, this site will clear up any questions about specific majors and career choices.\n\nwww.ucla.edu

Going to JC then transferring is FAR easier because they get first priority. Transferring to UCLA from another UC is tough. Your credentials need to be pretty high - i'm saying like 3.8+  or a well written essay.

It really does depend on what you plan to study and the possibility of doing an internship within the area. If you're planning on studying something that is more medical or business focused, then I would stick to UT, but if it is education or liberal arts then go with BG. The west end of Toledo is probably the nicest part of the city, which is also where the university is located. BG is OK, but nothing exciting...plan on driving to Toledo to do any major retail shopping. The roads are worse in BG in the winter time since it is more rural and the snow drifts can become a nightmare. My brother went to UT for engineering and he seemed to like it. I have friends that went to BG and they seemed to like it as well. It really depends on your plan of study and your comfort level when you visit the university. I would really recommend that you visit both and talk to someone from the department in which you study. You'll get a much better feel and you'll probably feel better about your decision as well.

Actually, Berkeley and UCLA have very comparable English programs. But if you're into *really* old literature, Berkeley has better resources. The Bancroft library houses rare and old manuscripts. From Mark Twain to medieval times, it's all there.\n\nAs for the program itself, at both schools, you will have to deal with large departments, low faculty:student, and strong competition.\n\nSo the matter is, which environment suits you more? Berkeley is Berkeley. We've always had a reputation for being some brilliant and eccentric minds. UCLA is preppier. Berkeley is rainy and gloomy. UCLA is sunny. Berkeley is full of bohemians. West LA is full of rich snotballs.\n\nMy college boyfriend of 3 years was an English major. When he got really drunk, he had a tendency to strip off his clothes and recite Chaucer. But two of my dearest friends were UCLA English majors. I've not seen then take their clothes off under any contexts.\n\nAnyway, I'm horribly biased. I think you should go to Cal if you have the opportunity and the mettle to do so. UCLA is nice and all, but Berkeley is THE University of California.

USC by far!\n I went to SC and had friends that went to ucla. The class size at UCLA is insanely big and they just teach you the basics and really dont interact with you. USC on the other hand is a haven for networking. I had a class taught by Paul Orfalea, the founder of kinkos and in most of my upper division classes, we had these really successful CEOs (alums) come and speak to us. USC is a wealthier, more prestigious and better learning university than UCLA. If you were asking about grad school, the 2 are close but for business undergrad--USC all the way. UCLA in undergrad business is like most other PUBLIC schools and nothing more than that. The Marshall name and network is huge and priceless. \nPlus if your into football -- UCLA is a joke

Yes. You could consider going to law school, business school or even medical school, in addition to grad school in history or other humanities and social sciences. In fact, according to US News and World Report 2004 or 2005 college rankings, history majors have a higher acceptance rate into med school than biology majors.
