Any thoughts from folks who attended Berkeley for undergrad? I feel it's not ideal to study in the same school, but my undergrad only had me take one class in the field of public policy, and I know it's vastly different to be part of a small graduate cohort than an undergrad student. I gradated in December 2011, so some time has passed, as well.
Debating between this and HKS, and for in-state tuition, ability to work, weather, and the quantitative nature of program, Berkeley feels like it has an edge, but I'm concerned about attending a place where I have previously studied.
