Hey guys, need some guidance on this. Currently leaning more towards UCLA because of the overall quality of life and the fact that I'll be going in as a declared CS major as opposed to undeclared at UCB. However, UC Berkeley does have more academic prestige and could open more doors if I end up successfully declaring my major.

ooh definitely tough. though Berkeley is literally one of the best choices for CS, I think you won't have an issue at UCLA CS. I'd wait to see how Berkeley's current CS funding issue turns out

What do you want to do after getting a bachelor's degree in computer science? I'd go with declared CS over Berkeley. I did EECS at Berkeley and I saw how much it sucked to go in without a declared major.

@static sundial normally I would say Berkeley but they might completely get rid of ls cs which would mean u have to declare another major

#

Look into the funding issue (there’s a newspaper article written by a prof there documenting it) then decide if that’s a risk you’ll be willing to take

#

Basically you’ll only go in as undeclared and will be at the mercy of Berkeley potentially scrapping the major altogether

I doubt they would get rid of L&S CS without letting the current batch of kids graduate from it.

#

how easy is it to do another major if L&S cs doesn't work out?

#

also what alternatives do I have to L&S cs if they were to scrap it/ if I don't make the cutoff ? @untold sorrel

#

I plan to do a masters after my undergrad
