It was beautiful almost every single day where I took advantage of it by sitting on the glade. Different people like different things!

OOOOOO DRAMA

[@robjohnston366]

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.)

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.

[@samrd5496]

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.

That's a ridiculous statement. Do you understand what it takes to get into UCLA? The admit rate for the Class of 2023 was 12%, and the average ACT composite was 30-35. That is a bit competitive to be a school for a bunch of jocks. Berkeley definitely has the edge internationally and for graduate school, but their undergrad education programs are neck and neck. Some people don't want to have to deal with duck syndrome or the insanely cutthroat atmosphere that comes with Berkeley. It comes down to which school is the right fit if you are an undergrad. There are legitimate arguments that can be made in favor of Berk over UCLA, but saying that UCLA is a school for "jocks" is a gross misrepresentation of the insanely qualified student body that worked hard to get the chance to attend.

the reason why I would choose ucla over berk would be because uc berkeley is like 25 minutes away from my house and its lowkey gonna feel like community college all over again. And ucla is far enough to be away from my parents lmao. Also berkeley seems cutthroat as hell and cold/rainy af.

[@miltongao69]

i'd highly recommend ucla over berkeley for quality of life

[@vivekgereesan5116]

Am awesome video as always. Keep making great videos like these. Also if you find yourselves in Switzerland, please make a video on eth Zurich.

Whoa! Was not expecting the sax at the end! And from the looks of it, you’re actually playing it 😮 I think I remember you mentioning that you played when we met. It sounds nice, we should collab some time! 😃

hahahah did you see your cameo btw?

Amazing job Hafu and Go Bruins! 💙💛 🎉 #TeamLA

[@hafu]

Thanks for showing us that clap cheer ;)

[@robjohnston366]

@Waddle . . . if I remember, you're the Biochemistry major (and probably premed)? UCLA has a great Bioinformatics minor, which of course melds biology with informatics, essentially CS and stats/data science. There's also a Computational and Systems Biology major. I recommend at least taking a PIC course, possibly a fallback in case med school isn't in the cards. You did a great job on the video, all the best!

UC Berkeley in a nutshell: Program Ranking English 1 Psychology 1 Economics 1 Sociology 1 Computer Science 1 Biological Sciences 1 Earth Sciences 2 Chemistry 2 Mathematics 2 Statistics 2 Public Affairs 4 Social Work 3 Clinical Psychology 3 Physics 3 Engineering 3 Political Science 4 History 4 Business 7 Public Health 8 Law 9 Fine Arts 15 They have a separate parking lot for Nobel Laureates for Fs sake and this school is all over the periodic table. UCLA is more comparable to Michigan, ut Texas, Virginia, etc. Berkeley is on par with the three top Ivies, stanford, mit, and cal tech if you eliminate dubious metrics like endowment and class sizes.

[@joshuar1500]

Got into both, chose CAL 🐻 good luck yall

[@mckinseyand2022]

Both schools are great....but I chose Berkeley because of Haas School.

[@Xterminatorr]

Yeah, extremely wise choice. Haas School is superior to UCLA because they have no proper business program.

[@ABC-uy4fw]

UC Berkeley is better in Engineering, but UCLA is better in Medicine.

[@chetb]

Nice comparison! By the way, what background music do you use in these videos? I really like the song at 9:03 but I can't find it.

[@Robert-we9pf]

As somebody who is not a graduate of either university, I would say that California-Berkeley is far far far superior than UCLA. I think everyone in academia knows that. Kinds like Princeton is ranked higher than Harvard in the US News. But the majority would take Harvard over Princeton in a heart beat any day.

[@arhaanaggarwal3778]

UC Berkeley>>>>>UCLA. UC Berkeley is the OG, and UCLA is just a wanna be school. I chose Cal over C]UCLA, and it is the best decision of my life. Cal is elite af.

[@Am-Not-Jarvis]

I have a suggestion next time you do a head-to-head, you should also compare fight songs. And if the person you are interviewing doesn't know their school's fight song, instant penalty

[@ferdowsraid6084]

14:30 you killed me with that music.

That would be epic

[@Garfielthecat1997]

What a horrible video. Hardly any actual research, and the student life at UCLA is better because of the parties?? WTF? It is so clear that you are biased towards UCLA too. Waste of 15 mins.

Hello there !. Here from Nepal. I find your content fun and informative. I finished my undergrad from Northeastern University. Thinking of doing masters sometime in the future. Therefore, could you please also do videos on comparison of how things are in graduate programmes. Thank you !!

[@mehulchoudhury1100]

Why don’t you do Canadian Universities next? I’d love to see University of Alberta getting featured!

Because it’s so cold over there right now 😂

[@CALBerkeley]

UC Berkeley has repeatedly held the title for #1 public university in the nation for almost 20 consecutive years. Just because Ucla suddenly gets a boost a couple of years back doesn't make it a better university. Ucla students are just tired of always being 2nd to Cal, let them enjoy it. Berkeley is ranked #4 in the world behind Harvard, MIT, and Stanfurd. So in this rankings, Berkeley is certainly the #1 public university in the world. I happen to think Berkeley's campus is beautiful. Natural beauty that is under appreciated. Campus life is all up to the person. Go Bears!

[@dez-m]

Go Bears!!! #BerkeleyBound

[@jackm2377]

I actually chose UCLA -- I think their undergrad programs are much better. I think rankings are pointless, but Cal used those same rankings to justify their position lol. Bruins!!!

UCLA is ruled by its competitiveness. About 5 percent acceptance rate is no joke but UC Berkeley is very very good for 11-14 percent so even though UCLA won its Berkeley all day everyday.

[@Megan1999lo]

Yes UCLA is surrounded by all the tourist attractions, but in my experience, I traveled to LA twice or three times. I went to all the attractions I wanted to go. I just don't wanna go anymore, just because the traffic is hella bad and oh my god, at 7pm going somewhere that usually takes 15 min to go will take you more than 30 min to go via highway. its so frustrating. hands down the bay area the best #gobears im glad that i made the decision to go to uc berkeley over ucla and because of their extremely liberal opinions, you are always open to a lot of ideas; people are always open to talk about intellectual topics. you can't really find that in a lot of the public school like this to provide you crazy opportunities like this. and also, restaurants around berkeley are the best in the area. there are a lot of pros and cons FOR SURE. my list can just go on and on. on the other hand, kudos to UCLA has a beautiful campus (that's undeniable!). the campus design at berkeley is eeh -- too scattered lol (note: im a sociology major. so maybe in comparison, im more exposed to the liberal opinions part i believe.)

[@samrd5496]

unpopular opinion, Berkeley campus is gorgeous (one of the reason I choose to go to Cal). Every building has a personality. I don't like campus that is too architecture uniform (Stanford, Harvard) I prefer those that are a bit quirky (Berkeley, San Diego, MIT). UCLA buildings are different enough so it's Ok.
