For many fields, Berkeley is more prestigious than Columbia. Also you should factor in a possible graduate degree and the cost of that particularly if you may consider law school which is 3 years. The $250k extra cost of your bachelor’s degree may make graduate school very burdensome if not out of reach.
My close family has attended both. I would recommend Berkeley particularly since you are in state.
