Ask HN: Physics PhD at Stanford or Berkeley

What should one consider while signing up for a Physics PhD program, with an focus on experimental Quantum/Molecular optics, program at either university if both of them offer?

I understand there are many factors to take into account when choosing a school for research (advisor, research fit and funding to name a few), but these are on the individual.

Any Physicists on HN?
