<p>As for UCSD, it is very similar to Irvine. But UCSD is D2, and I would never go to a school where a good crowd for a sporting event is close to 300 people. Also UCSD isn't known for business/communications....it is all about the sciences.</p>
<p>It is known as the University of California: Socially Dead for a reason. But there are some positives...it is close to mexico and sdsu. </p>
<p>As you can see I care about social life and athletics to the same degree as academics, so if you are all about academics, then my opinion is probably worthless.</p>
