outside1234 suggested (UC) Merced or (UC) Davis as schools more suited to expansion than Berkeley. Ostensibly, all UCs are high quality education destinations. I don't know that Merced has earned distinction yet, but UC Davis is distinguished and interested parties could discuss the relative level of distinguishment.

I think it's pretty safe to say that UCB has a much more "elite" reputation than Merced or Davis.

(Whether or not you actually get a higher-quality education at UCB isn't really relevant; the perception, rankings, etc. are what matter when people decide what school they want to go to.)
