ngl i don’t know much about cs but basically all my friends in tech agree that berkeley eecs >>>> ucla cs

#

i have a friend who made a similar decision, chose berkeley ds over ucla data theory

#

resources and networking are way better

a bit unrelated but how do you guys think ucla's data science major is?

#

its like a rebranded version of the statistics major

You mean the “Statistics and Data Science” major rigjt

wet zealot Mar 25, 2024, 12:33 AM

#

yeah

fiery crow Mar 25, 2024, 12:50 AM

#

hmm i dont know much about it

#

all i know is that if you do data theory basically plan on going to grad school, idk about S+DS lol

#

i think S+DS also has a large portion of people going to grad school after but def a decent amount going to industry

Since I’m on the fence between the two should I just choose the most affordable option after aid?

#

If it’s negligible then… probably Berkeley ? Lol

wet zealot Mar 25, 2024, 5:21 PM

#

I feel like choose where you feel the most comfortable and fitting

#

Like visit both their admitted days

#

That’s what I would do

#

Cuz you can’t go wrong with either

midnight fox Mar 25, 2024, 5:36 PM

#

That too. I’ve been to UCLA a few times and I love the campus. But I’ve never been to cal yet. Will be going in 1.5ish weeks tho lol

wet zealot Mar 25, 2024, 5:37 PM

#

Nicee

#

I been to cal like 2 years ago or something I think the campus is fine but ucla campus is def better

midnight fox Since I’m on the fence between the two should I just choose the most affordable ...

the difference likely won’t be big because they’re both UC

#

but i would def pick berkeley eecs

#

massive massive prestige difference between berkeley eecs and ucla cs

wet zealot Mar 25, 2024, 6:22 PM

#

is berkeley's culture like overexaggerated

#

i always hear people talking shit about it 😭

midnight fox Mar 25, 2024, 6:27 PM

#

wet zealot i always hear people talking shit about it 😭

Yea fr. 😭😂 I feel like it is since the people spreading these rumors are usually not even students

fiery crow Mar 25, 2024, 6:27 PM

#

i think the culture def exists

#

see: shewchuck or whatever on reddit

#

but my cal friends

#

they’re all living life fine

#

so it’s prob over exaggerated lmao

wet zealot Mar 25, 2024, 6:27 PM

#

why cant ucla and uc berkely become one cshool

#

imagine a school with ucla campus food location and cal programs for the stem stuff

#

and then a private unis class size

noble trench Mar 25, 2024, 6:28 PM

#

lol

#

you're describing stanford

#

minus the location

wet zealot Mar 25, 2024, 6:29 PM

#

marble stratus EECs trust

I'm starting to consider it more

#

I think this conversation will springboard once Berkeley sends out the rest of decisisons on March 28th lawl.
