Which school should I choose?

I have recently been accepted to the University of Illinois (Urbana Champaign), Georgia Tech, and UC Berkeley for undergraduate studies, and I want to major in physics. I live in Georgia, so Georgia Tech is very cheap. and have gotten in state tuition for UIUC. UIUC is in the top ten in physics. How much better would Berkeley be for me than UIUC or Georgia Tech?

Update:

By the way, I am DEFINITELY doing physics.

Update 2:

And please defend your claim with reasoning (don't base your answer just on rankings but explain what UCB could offer over UIUC or GA Tech).

    Georgia Tech has an amazing physics department! You could go to Georgia Tech for undergrad and then spend more money for graduate school

    UC Berkeley is ranked 7 while UIUC is ranked 8. So not that much of a big difference for Physics but UCB is the overall stronger school so if you choose to not do physics you have a larger selection of top programs.

    If you plan on going to grad school, save yourself the money and go to Georgia Tech or UIUC.

    Berkeley would barely be better for you than UIUC if you're sure you are doing physics.
