[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Berkeley individual STEM departments are higher ranked, but the overall prestige of HYP combined with much higher resources per student makes HYP a no-brainer.

Though Berkeley STEM is legendary, the school is seriously strapped for resources. Students have a hard time getting lab time to do research, for instance. Berkeley's housing issues are a mess. Berkeley notoriously has massive bureaucracy issues and crumbling infrastructure.

Even in the Bay Area, HYP carries more clout and prestige. Telling people in SF that you went to HYP will raise eyebrows and draw a small gasp. Saying you went to Berkeley won't be as impressive because there are a zillion Berkeley grads running round the Bay Area and it's a much bigger school.

If you’re chasing prestige then for sure go with HYPSM if you can afford it. In real life, five year out of school, nobody cares where you went to undergrad, more what you did with it. Bringing it up over and over makes you look like a tool, and I have a degree from one of them.
