  1. Thanks, everyone! The main drawback of Berkeley for me is that I'd have to work harder at lining up internships and work experiences for myself. There are also much fewer people that do research on infectious diseases at Berkeley. Do the US News Rankings really matter that much here? Berkeley is ranked wayy higher than Yale is...
  2. I'm debating between UC Berkeley (MPH in Infectious Diseases) and Yale (MPH in Epidemiology of Microbial Diseases). I've been going over the pros and cons of both MPH programs again and again and I'm having a tough time deciding between them. Some points I'm considering: UC Berkeley - Resident tuition is about half of what Yale would cost - Berkeley grad schools for public health, public policy, business, and law are all ranked among the best in the nation - The Bay Area is pretty awesome - Berkeley is pretty urban and only about half an hour from SF Yale - Much smaller program, more accessible faculty - The campus was gorgeous, though it felt a little claustrophobic to me - I'm not very excited about living in New Haven :| - Much more research going on in Infectious Diseases (my primary interest) - The program seems to really take care of its students - helping students get lots of work and research experience through networking and alumni connections - Apparently, there's a lot of fellowship funding for summer internships I'm looking to branch out from lab research and take classes in policy, management, and epi. Although I was pretty swayed by Berkeley's cost, Yale's Open House left such a great impression on me that I had to reconsider. I'd like to know people's reasons for choosing either school, as well as opinions on the overall quality of both programs.
