Berkeley. The weather is a lot nicer, never freezes. It is on the edge of Silicon Valley, and across the bay from SF. It is a very big state school with lots of weirdness.
Seriously, take the "Software as a Service" class at EdX that started two weeks ago. It will give you a taste of Berkeley CS. Dave Patterson is a famous hardware architecture guy.
As a general suggestion, take a course or two from coursera, edX, or udacity to see if you are tough enough for CS.
- mgoforth 14y agoCould you elaborate on what you mean by "tough enough for CS" ? There are definitely difficult disciplines in CS, but few of those will be required courses in an undergraduate curriculum. The best indicator of success in CS (or any other field) is passion. If you are passionate about your field of study then the "toughness" of the program shouldn't be a major factor in your decision making... certainly not if you've already been accepted to Yale and Berkeley.
