If you want Urban, check GW. The SEAS building is really nice, its in the middle of DC (like a ten minute walk from the national mall), and it seems like they're investing a good bit into their CS program. Plus, it's just three metro stops away from Pentagon City, which is right where Amazon is opening their HQ2

If you are interested in UCB, you should probably consider all the other UC's as well. UCSD, UCLA, UCB, they all have really renowned cs programs. The UC application is just 4 PIQ essays, so you can send it to as many UC campuses as you want. Def consider other UC's if your planning to apply to UCB
