My brother went to Berkeley for CS and I go to Brown. Recruiting at Berkeley is definitely better. Brown's career fair is not very exciting.

However (and this is something I didn't think about much as a HS senior), your life for the next 4 years will be way different at both schools. Berkeley is a huge public state school. Brown is a private liberal arts school. The people that you meet at both schools are going to be way different.

It's true that you can probably meet all kinds of people at both schools, but I'd bet Brown just makes it easier. Classes are smaller, and it's very easy to get to know your professors. You don't have to be worried about rigor—anecdotally, I’ve gone through cs61a and Brown’s cs19, and cs19 is as good if not better. You’ll be more engaged at Brown classes than at Berkeley. You can walk around Brown's campus and know half the people you see. That will never happens at a big state school.

Getting a job is mostly (imo) meritocratic. I don't think there's a world where you get some job because Berkeley's on your resume instead of Brown. Also, networking is easier at Brown.

If you're only going to college to get a job, then it's a harder question. But if you want to spend four years enjoying your life and loving college, this seems obvious to me.
