UCB vs. UCLA

College Questions

I got accepted into UCLA and UCB, and I’m not sure which one I wanna commit to. I’m gonna double major in Psychology and Philosophy. Which program is better?

i’ve heard that psychology is one of ucla’s most popular major so maybe ucla? try to think about other factors that influence your decision as well !!

Berkley is ranked 15 and UCLA is ranked 15. So both are equal. You will have to chose based upon campus affinity and scoial vibes. Congratulations on your acceptances!

Do you know which is better for philosophy and psychology?

u/Responsible_Card_824 avatar

Lfmao. yes I do. Look here https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/rankings/psychology UCB is ranked #1 tie for undergraduate Psychology domain.

I think Berkeley ranking is attributable to its strong STEM and business programs, but LA ranking is likely attributable to strength in more traditional subjects like the two that you mentioned.

College environment and majorwise, I think UCLA will be better, but take this with a grain of salt, as I'm not an expert on the UCs.
