International Student, Potential Area: Biophysics

UIUC has better physics (13 Nobel laureates) while UCLA has a better reputation and location.

For biophysics, UIUC has Center for Physics of Living Cells (CPLC) and UCLA has California Nanosystems Institute (CNSI).

But I am not sure whether CNSI can improve UCLA's biophysics? I also wish someone here can answer this question.

Any suggestions? I'll appreciate any kind of opinion.

I am so entangled in these two...
