      Crimzin agreed. I think university comparison should be made based on its similarities and differences. The major similarities should be location, university ranking, etc. After these factors are met, differences can be evaluated.

    These two schools are for different people. I was depressed when I lived in LA (3 years - No trees, no green for 3/4 of the whole freaking year) finally go to Bay Area and love it. Fun fact, UCSF was part of Cal as medical department and UCDavis was Cal Farm department. So...we have more history and that's why UCB doesn't have a medical school. If you go to UCSF medical graduation the seal will say University of California, Berkeley-San Francisco.

Cal has been in the Elite 6 for 5 years running. Times Higher Education asked top academics the world over what universities were the most respected in scholarship and academics. UCLA was No. 9.

Plus, living so close to LA, I’m used to the crowd that surrounds Berkeley. I hate hot weather meaning I love cold weather. During this year, very rarely did I get a day where I hated the weather. It was beautiful almost every single day where I took advantage of it by sitting on the glade. Different people like different things!

    Got accepted to Cal but waitlisted at UCLA. Although almost every ranking that I've looked at has UCB slightly above UCLA, I will say that factors like campus life, weather, and social activities at UCLA are very attractive. I think the main reason that UCB would be ahead is due to its academics and career opportunities. Of course, all rankings may be subject to bias and are likely to change over time.

      This is the kind of sweeping generality that UC Berkeley students resort to in comparison between the two universities. Additionally, Berkeley students will state the following:
      - UC Berkeley students have significantly better stats (grades and test scores). “Berkeley is a billion times harder to get into.” As recent as seven years ago, there would have been a decent-sized gulf between the qualifications between the two universities’ students, but the gap is closing readily, because in the last 10 years to now, UCLA has raised its freshman-class gpa and test scores significantly. UCLA is actually harder to which to gain entry now in the admissions process, but for those who enroll, Berkeley with a tad better yield, has a bit higher test scores, but UCLA has a little higher grades as its students come in with a bit more advanced-placement courses.
      - “UC Berkeley has the way better Engineering and Computer Science programs.” Berkeley’s E&CS certainly has a higher ranking based on faculty publications and research, but UCLA’s is rising fast and is better funded. UCLA late last year received a $100m donation from the namesake of the Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science, and because of this and other funding, its engineering programs are climbing the rankings. The University is currently hiring 100 additional Engineering faculty and is looking to increase its undergrad E&CS programs to greater than 5,000 from its current ~ 4,000, and thereby become more STEM oriented. The grades and test scores of incoming UCLA E&CS students are every bit as ascended as Berkeley’s and may be a bit higher because UCLA up to now has had an even more restrictive enrollment process in E&CS. And UCLA is definitely closing the gap between those who choose between the two universities for these programs.
      Your Berkeley representative said at 9:40, that there were numerous Berkeley-student interns at the Bay tech concerns based on his experience, “but only one or maybe two from UCLA.” If he did his internship during the school year, this would be understandable. But if one looks on social media, there doesn’t appear to be a dearth of UCLA E&CS interns at the Bay tech-companies during the summer, say, when they’re back home (also is as well understandable), and I’m sure that with its stepped-up image and high-quality E&CS students, it will lead to a lot more, but it has definitely appreciated in the number of gained internships at the techs, for certain.
      As far as Berkeley and UCLA for studying business as undergrads, certainly Berkeley Haas is outstanding - it’s considered the best undergrad business school in the country. UCLA’s Anderson GSM offers courses for undergrads, but it doesn’t offer an undergrad Business Administration degree as Haas does, at which Berkeley undergrads apply prior to their junior years. UCLA has Business Economics, in which one does the same in the application process, and it is highly selective also, but it isn’t as tough to gain entry as Haas. Both have outstanding consulting and investment-banking clubs, with UCLA stepping up its clubs and the resultant students’ internships more recently.
      Both universities produce its share of attorneys. UCLA leads in the state of California for most licensed attorneys by a decent amount over Berkeley, but both lead by an extremely large amount over the third ranked university, USC, by a good 2-3 times.
      UCLA does produce more MDs: in 2018 over 550 UCLA baccalaureates enrolled in medical school; for Berkeley it was greater than 350. UCLA produces a lot more dentists and pharmacists as is evident. But Berkeley produces more science researchers and PhDs in a wider array of fields: humanities, social sciences, as well as physical and life sciences.
      The bottom line, though, is both are outstanding universities, and there are Berkeley kids and UCLA kids. UCLA students are undoubtedly more sociable, but I don’t think Berkeley’s are more studious if that makes sense. As a UCLA student would say, “Study hard, play hard.”
      (I’m going to have to edit out the double spacing between my paragraphs, which youtube comments places in my comments.)

      @@rotneder2814 , you are, of course, entitled to your opinion, but if you didn’t attend either university, you’re probably missing out - say, because of a lack of interest -- on the things to which you can probably relate as an MIT graduate that are occurring at UCLA.
      I can’t speak for Berkeley - I’m sure they’re incorporating many of the same things, but what UCLA is doing to bring informatics into fields like the social and life sciences, and even humanities, is excellent. The thing UCLA is trying to do in this age of information, is, to get persons who have had no desire to study coding and data structures to at least take an elemental course in it, short of requiring it, and also to open up Computer Science as a specialization to a wide array of majors (read: to those who aren’t accepted into the major).
      UCLA has created a separate set of CS courses that are pretty much available to all - there are various majors and minors of course that are CS-related and are thereby excluded: majors in Mathematics of Computation, Statistics, Data Theory (since DT is a major, UCLA wanted to incorporate more theory into its perusal instead of straight Data Science); minors in Bioinformatics, Digital Humanities, and Geographic Information Systems and Technology. UCLA also has an excellent major in Linguistics and CS.
      And good for you that you feel impelled to express your opinion so decidedly. But I believe that the originating-campus-of-the-state-of-California, flagship argument shouldn’t apply, because to the benefit of the state to the nation and undoubtedly the world - as seen by the popularity of both in the other forty-nine states and all over the globe -- there are two world-class public institutions in this state (… and the other seven UCs aren’t slouches either).
      And the great thing is that Berkeley and UCLA are completely different: semester (three terms, Hafu) v. quarter (also called “trimester” if one excludes summer); social life; on-campus living; food; weather; etc.
      Sorry for the quasi-thesis, take care.

And it's not like I will miss out on anything good that Berkeley offers, because if I wanted to do software internships from Silicon Valley, I can always do them remotely, while still enjoying my life in LA. Ultimately, how well the student succeeds doesn't depend on the school they choose to go to. Going to one over the other should not make the student any lazier. As long as they keep working hard, they will find the right job prospects and live a life they will enjoy

    Any jobs that UC Berkeley graduates get can be equally had by UCLA graduates.
    In fact if you add UCSD in this list, there is not much difference between UCLA and UCSD. The perception of UCLA may more attractive, because of Sports and longer history. However, if you look closely, UCSD’s achievement surpassed UCLA. UCLA and UCSD are equally solid. UCLA managed to produce 15 Nobel prize recipients during their 98 year history. On the other hand, UCSD’s existence is only 63 years, but UCSD surpassed UCLA, and already produced 20 recipients.
