uc irvine or uc berkeley

im currently a senior who has narrowed down all her college decisions to two schools: uci and ucb. although berkeley has the prestige and amazing opportunities, i loved the uci campus and the socal area.

can people give genuine unbiased feedback on positives and negatives of both? i want to major in biology (pre vet track), and also im a very music forward person. additional important things to factor in are expenses, food, dorms etc.

thanks!!!
