College Questions UCLA CS vs UC Berkeley DS

I was admitted into UCLA for computer science and UC Berkeley for data science. I want to finish only undergrad. I want to work in tech and become a software engineer, data scientist, data analyst, computer engineer, AI engineer, etc.

I am from the Bay Area, so I want to go to SoCal. I care about college life, but if one school is much better than the other for my career, I am open to sacrificing the better college life.

uc berkeley all the way majors matter to some extent but its all abt clubs + skills u learn. i know someone whos a molecular cell biology major and just got a swe intern at amazon! plus when it comes to cs/ds/stats berkeley is miles ahead of UCLA (ranking, opportunities, research, etc)
