Thanks for all the advice! Berkeley does have better industry ties and weather but I've heard great stuff about collaborations at MIT, so im definitely interested. I'm also a little worried about the funding scene at UCB. @azazel: thanks for the links! i will be at the visit days too, so maybe we'll meet up there!

I have been admitted to both MIT and Berkeley for PhD in CS. I'm broadly interested in databases, compbio etc. Any advice on making a choice? Factors important to me: - Research opportunities - Close interaction betn prof/students - Ties to industry/entrepreneurship - Post-PhD job opportunities in industry/research internships - Program flexibitliy - collaborations within and outside CS - Location Thanks!
