So I’m trying to decide whether to attend CP SLO or UCSD in the fall, since I’ve gotten into both. I want to be a journalist, and SLO has my exact major, while at UCSD I would be majoring in Literature. I don’t know which to choose. I love the name and reputation of UCSD, but I love the atmosphere and teaching style of SLO. I hear so many bad things about UCSD being socially dead and competitive and I really just want to be in a good environment for my college experience. Which place should i choose?
Seems like all threads on here pitting two colleges against each other always come down to ACADEMICS VERSUS LOCATION. Personally, I always go with ACADEMICS. However, many others prefer LOCATION. Both CP SLO and UCSD are great…congrats on getting in to both! Definitely tour each campus without preconceived notions foisted upon you by others…see them for yourself and go with your heart. You cannot go wrong at either campus!!
Stick with your major and go with CPSLO. You’ll be happier doing what you want to do.
Agreed…sticking with your “exact major” is critical if you want to be a Journalist and CPSLO has it.
