<p>HELP</p>
<p>well that’s a toughie. what have you considered between the two and how do you feel?</p>
<p>these two schools are not even a little bit similar…</p>
<p>Hi, My son is also considering between both of these schools. Calmama14 . . can you expand on your comment? “these two schools are not even a little bit similar…” I would love to hear what you know of these two schools. My son is from S.F. Bay Area and is considering UCD, UCSD and BU. Thanks. </p>
<p>I went to UC Davis myself. While it is somewhat larger than it was at that time, it was and still is a fairly large public school surrounded by a city that has pretty much grown up as a result of the college. Beyond that, it is rural for a while. The school is the social life. Classes were large for the first two years. My D has been accepted to BU. Not as large, private school in the middle of a very large city with no real “campus” feel to it. Social life on campus and huge social life in the city itself, and with several other colleges in the area. DOnt know what kind of academic program you son is looking at or how to compare those things. I loved UCD, but when I took my daughter there to visit, she was not so impressed. I think she is a city girl! We are in the SF bay area too. </p>
