UCLA vs. Berkeley (neuroscience major on pre-med track)
Hello! I was recently admitted to both under L&S. I'm a prospective Neuroscience major hoping to attend grad school/doctoral school after. I want to become a neurosurgeon in the long run.
As for what I want in a college I want an abundance of opportunities doing research, shadowing, working/volunteering in hospitals, and publishing. I want to know my professor, attend office hours, and get assistance. I want lots of clubs relating to pre-med, neuroscience, STEM, psychology, criminal justice, and clubs where I get to travel. I also want a school with a study abroad opportunity but where I would be able to complete my credits for the GCE major. I also want a place with a good social life and a tight-knit community. I want to make friends and have people I can share resources with and vice versa.
I also want to know the dorm/housing situation for each. Please let me know how each school applies to each based on your experiences.
Also if there are any specific programs each school has specifically for my major feel free to comment.
