UCLA or Berkeley for out of state kid

Anonymous
Those familiar with both - which would you choose. Undecided major but definitely in liberal arts and not STEM.

UCLA is going to be more "California" and fun. Both are fantastic schools that are very hard to gain admission either in State or out of state.

Whichever one you might get in to.

UCLA for a more outgoing kid who is an extrovert and likes to party. Berkeley for the introvert who is a serious studier who closes down the bookstore on a Friday night.

UCLA if they like watching sports. Berkeley if they don't care.

Expensive for OOS, just like Michigan. I don’t know if it’s worth paying all that over in-state UVA or UMD, but I can definitely see the allure for students if cost isn’t an issue.

Yeah, Berkeley's a tiny school full of wallflowers. Why do DCUMers feel the need to post even when they have nothing at all to offer?

Assuming one of those liberal arts majors isn’t impacted, the student should see how strong that particular department rates.

Wouldn't stanford/pomona be better for liberal arts at the same price?

I'd chose ucla but neither are ideal. Uva is stronger at undergrad liberal art fields than both imo
