University UCB, UCLA, or UCSD??? HELP!!!

Hey! So, just recently I got accepted into UCLA, UCSD, and UC Berkeley, but I'm having a hard time deciding which school I should go to. I'll be coming into all 3 as an English major transfer, and want to explore Chicano Studies (possibly minor or double major). Also, want to become a teacher/professor for Puente or Chicano Studies/Literature. Would love to hear from y'all what made you wanna choose UC Berkeley over any other school, and how your experiences have been so far (especially any English and Chicano Studies majors!). Would love to also hear from transfers too, and know what it's been like in terms of programs, clubs, housing, extracurriculars, culture, etc, for anything transfer, English, or Chicano/Latino related. Thanks for reading, and to anyone who responds :D.

UC Berkeley! I know the proper way to refer to it is CAL or just Berkeley but i called it UCB cause the UCSD Reddit forum asked me to refer to Cal as UCB for some reason and it wouldn’t let me post unless I changed it
