It is similar! I want to go into the business side of communication (human resources maybe) so I thought sociology might be a better route. What do you like about UCSD if you don’t mind me asking? I visited a few weeks back and I wasn’t a big fan. @californiannnnnnnnnnnn
@californiannnnnnnnnnnn I’m hoping for UCSB! That’s my first choice. 
Any other place would be great though! How about you?
@californiannnnnnnnnnnn Whoops, sorry. Read through the thread again and saw that Cal was your first choice. Sending you good thoughts. You’ve worked really hard and nothing any university says will change that! Best of luck to you!
@doihaveashot2016 There wasn’t anything I really disliked to be honest. All the students on campus seemed to be really happy and friendly and it seemed like there was a lot going on there in terms of student life. Plus I thought the campus was beautiful and I really like the San Diego area! Im surprised you are not a fan
@ccstudent1517 UCSB is gorgeous and such a great school! Yeah I am hoping for Cal, I love the school and already being from the Bay would mean I wouldn’t have to be too far from home either
