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.
