City College San Francisco or Berkekey City College?

I am 26 (I know I am getting a late start!) and I am hoping to attend either City College San Francisco or Berkeley City College starting this coming Summer or Fall. I am curious which one is better in these categories:



I am planning to become an RN, which school has a better reputation for that?

Ease of finding housing and cost

Which city is better for students as far as entertainment/parties/things to do?

Safety?

I actually go to City College, and I know that they do have an RN program. The info can be found at: http://www.ccsf.edu/NEW/en/educational-p鈥?/a>



I suggest calling the number they provide and asking them directly what their program does that sets them apart from the rest. As far as housing and entertainment go, one guy that answered before me pretty much answered that (and to be honest I don't really know, I live at home and am lucky enough to not have to worry about that sort of thing). Hope this helped at least a little.City College San Francisco or Berkekey City College?
If you cant get into UCSF the pre-eminent nursing school, I suggest St. Mary's College for nursing. No one ever heard of Berkeley City College. I dont know that CCSF has a nursing program. If you are in the East Bay there are many 2-year vocational schools which offer nursing. Both Berkeley and S.F. are the same for activities, safety and public transit. Berkeley is smaller so it has fewer choices of rentals and fewer places to park.City College San Francisco or Berkekey City College?
Living in Berkeley would be a LOT cheaper then living in the city. Unless you plan on living in the East Bay and taking public transportation (BART to Balboa Park), however, BART is pretty expensive (no discounts for college students) and you'd have to wake up earlier to commute every day. However, most people think that City College SF offers a better education. The campus is really, really nice, but the neighborhood isn't the best (Ocean Ave, SF), and it's located right across from Lick-Wilmerding High School - with whom CCSF shares its athletic facilities with. Honestly, I like the people in Berkeley better - but that just personal preference. I'm sure there are more parties in SF than in Berkeley too.
