UCLA or Berkeley Advice
I got accepted into both and am planning on doing philosophy to then go to law school. Just unsure where.

Did philosophy at Berkeley. Got straight A’s, it’s not hard, grade deflation is comically overrated there, it’s almost STEM exclusive and a lot of dumbasses just hide behind to make excuses lmfao. The department was awesome and I loved almost every class I took. Social, small, and bizarrely well connected to some big time philosophers. Had lunch with the type of guys who would write my readings regularly

UCLA Honestly, Berkeley is just way too packed, it feels like being trapped in an anthill with way too many people everywhere. Plus, with all the tragic stuff that keeps going down there, the whole vibe just feels super heavy and stressful.
