occidental or scripps college?

Help!

Which is a better college choice? I've heard a lot of nice things about both Occidental and Scripps colleges but I can't decide on which one to go to next year. I've also been accepted to UC Berkeley. As a southern Californian, going to Berkeley sounds really good, but I also want the smaller class sizes at Scripps and Oxy. How does a high school senior make up her mind in only three weeks?

I am sure you will hear "lots of nice things" about private schools all over. However, you need to look more closely at what they offer compared to UCB--In California only Stanford would be looked at as a more tempting choice for most majors. You need to know what you want to get out of college.
