<p>UCD VS UCSB - Electrical Engineering </p>
<p>Admitted to UCD, UCI, UCSB - Electrical Engineering</p>
<p>EE UCSB or UCD - it is the question!</p>
<p>UCSB - higher ranking of EE, better weather…
UCD - lower randing of EE to compare with UCSB, but the department is significantly bigger (more choice???) and closer to UCB, and closer to Tahoe (yes, snow and skiing!). </p>
<p>The goal is to get top education and interesting projects&internship… Got very warm and welcoming letter from UCSB … </p>
<p>Do you know why or why not should it be UCSB or UCD?</p>
<p>how the hell do i transfer out to UCLA, cal, columbia, nyu, or stanford??</p>
<p>you can transfer out to UCLA or Cal after two years, i dont know about the rest and you apply as a transfer student just like you would if you went to a cc.</p>
<p>How are the gym facilities/weight lifting equipment? I noticed that there are three sites on the map for exercise? The Robertson Gym, Recreation Center and Old Gym?</p>
<p>
reading thru the rest of your post I get the sense you’re really leaning towards Davis. The education at these 2 schools is going to be similar; neither is leagues ahead of the other. Because they are so similar, random things that happen in college (who are your roomates, what profs teach your classes, what friends you make, etc) are going to have more impact on your overall satisfaction than anything you can predict by researching the 2 schools, soliciting opinions, etc. And you can’t know how the random things will turn out without running your life twice, once at each school. Since that isn’t practical, your best bet is to go with your preference (which I think is Davis).</p>
<p>What a big surprise - not presenting UCSB as better place to compare to UCD!!!
Isn’t it that the better quality of education is making UCSB being rated higher?
It can not be that UCD and UCSB are twins, but just not identical!</p>
<p>Aim4UC: Everybody gets accepted as pre-major, that means that once you started your first quarter you just need to go to the econ department and submit a paperwork that formalize your stance as a bus econ major. Then you can start taking the UD classes. Unless you left some pre req classes that you weren’t able to do prior to UCSB, then the department will ask you to finish that class in UCSB (as long as you maintain a certain GPA) before completely accepting you in the major.</p>
<p>I am currently deciding between UCSB and UCI as a business economic major. One of the reasons why I am even considering UCI is because many people say there are better internships opportunities because of the location and reputation. Are there many business internships opportunities in Santa Barbara?</p>
<p>c/o2009: UCSB internships are not necessarily constrained in this area. Most of the companies that offer internships (the ones I’ve seen and been interested are for accounting) allows the students to choose whether they want to do their internship north or south of California. Some out of state. It also depends on how big the company you’re applying your internship to and if they have several locations.</p>
<p>You can also check this thread if interested in the bus econ with accounting program at UCSB: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-california-santa-barbara/682381-econ-accounting-major-info.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-california-santa-barbara/682381-econ-accounting-major-info.html</a></p>
<p>Kind of a dumb question here that could really apply to any school. How does the work load compare to that of “rigorous high school courses?” On average, how many classes do people take per quarter, how often do they meet, and for how long? What about free time outside of class as opposed to time spent studying or doing assignments?</p>
<p>So how is the greek life? Specifically the sorority girls? (Stuck up?)
Also which dorm has the best gym?</p>
<p>:) thank you</p>
<p>I’ve started a thread asked the following question but no one had answer me, I hope I could get some responses fr. a current student in here… >_<</p>
<p>I’m transferring this Fall is is applying for Housing. The only choices they gave transfers are El Dorado, West gate, San Ynez and “any dorm”. Does"any dorm" means San Rafael & Manzanita or literally any of the 8 dorms? And if I got placed in an apartment, when is the move in date? Is it same as the dorms (9/19, 9/20)? </p>
<p>I really appreciate your answers as I’m pulling my hair to figure it out now… T_T</p>
<p>try this link: [UCSB</a> Housing - contact us](<a href=“http://www.housing.ucsb.edu/home/contacts.htm]UCSB”>http://www.housing.ucsb.edu/home/contacts.htm) </p>
<p>Or you can call them – see <a href=“http://www.housing.ucsb.edu/home/phones-important.htm[/url]”>http://www.housing.ucsb.edu/home/phones-important.htm</a></p>
<p>I just sent an email to them, thanks Mike!</p>

<p>Here’s the reply from them regarding my question. Hope it would help anyone who has the same question:</p>
<p>Yes, “any res hall” means San Rafael or Manzanita. In the contract phase after June 1st application deadline you will be asked more specific preferences for building, etc. Opening weekend is the same for apartments and residence halls.</p>

<li>Im 100% going to UCSB, is there anyway i can find out what books the school use for certain classes before the start of the school year. Maybe like right now?</li>
<li>Are the courses 1st come 1st server? I know that many ppl will be taking the same class, but there not enough space for everyone. Does the school give people who come to orientation first the priority of choosing their classes over other students who come later?</li>
</ol>
<p>Thankyou</p>

<p>Thanks for the fast response Muserz
Helps a lot!</p>

- I don’t think you’ll be able to find the books for any Fall '09 classes too soon. I guess I would start checking the official UCSB Bookstore’s website ([UCSBStuff.com](<a href=“http://www.ucsbstuff.com%5DUCSBStuff.com%5B/url%5D”>http://www.ucsbstuff.com)</a>) perhaps a month or so before classes start. You can also go to a particular department’s website and check to see if the professor has posted what book he uses for the course there.</p>
<ol>
<li>We sign up for classes using a website called GOLD… the people with the most units pick classes the earliest. If you’re in the Honors program (I’m not), I believe you get priority enrollment times. If you’re not, AP credits can help you get a leg up on enrolling for classes for Winter quarter (before other first-years).<br></li>
</ol>
<p>I recall hearing during orientation that it didn’t matter what date your orientation session was on - for that first time you sign up for classes, you’re inevitably going to get the scraps from upperclassmen. I know I did, but it’s not that bad.</p>
