WEll Mort, you got lots of good advice and I'm sure she will be investigating both more in depth as well. The only thing I can add is this.....The two schools are very different, but not just in size. You know how things you have or do often "make a statement" about you or your beliefs? Both of these schools are well known and well recognized, very well respected in Soc.......But a degree from Johns Hopkins makes a far different statement than a degree from Berkeley. Have her do a little background checking on grads from both and let her determine which "road" she wants.
