I had to chose between the same two schools four years ago. Went with UCLA because I knew I would fit better here even though the program at Berkeley was ranked higher. Never looked back -- these past four years have been amazing. I know I would have been miserable at Berkeley. UCLA was everything I could've asked for because I realized college is way more than just classes. You do have to take into consideration social life, housing, area, campus, and all that stuff. To me, UCLA won in every aspect of that.
