1. Berkeley has fewer financial resources to dedicate to undergrads, so you have less dedication to teaching, larger class sizes, and relatively fewer research opportunities.
2. Stanford grads are more "entrepreneurial" and are often thinking of their next career jump, and Cal grads are more "geeky" and interested in technology for technology's sake.
3. the overall fees, of the Berkeley,CA, is marginally low than Stanford.
4. At Stanford, it is easier to get a better GPA with not-as-great grades because they count an A+ as a 4.3 instead of a 4.0, as opposed to Berkeley, where an A and A+ both count the same.
5. Stanford is more selective in admitting their undergrads.
6. UC Berkeley is a Significantly Larger School: (38,189 vs. 16,980 Total Students)
7. Stanford University Students Earn Considerably More Salary Post-Graduation: ($86,000 USD vs. $60,800 USD Median Salary)
8. Berkeley's charter as a state school means that it largely serves the California population, whereas Stanford has more national and international prominence.
9. The teaching staff : student ratio at Stanford is much better than at Berkeley, which enables closer feedback on code quality and style from an early stage.
10. Because Berkeley is so much larger and has so many more students in general, the best CS undergraduates that you'll find are on par with people from private (and more prestigious) institutions like Stanford.
11. NETWORKING: for jobs and grad school, it's more likely for a Cal alum to run into a fellow Cal grad than for Stanford alums to find that same solidarity.
