[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about UVA vs. Berkeley? Both good schools (don't know their exact rankings). Would folks really argue that equivalent experiences could be had at both places? I think this just goes to show it highly depends on the schools in question. [/quote] I think if I had a techy kid, then I might consider Berkeley because of its location and its strengths in fields like comp sci and certain engineering fields. But for a generic psychology or business or English major who wants to go there just purely because they’d rather spend four years in Berkeley than Charlottesville? Hell no, what a waste of money. [/quote] PP here, and that makes sense to me. I'm the PP who posted upthread re: personally preferring the "away" experience, but the cost-benefit analysis has to make sense re: fit and other factors.[/quote]
