I got into both as well as ucla. I don’t wanna live in LA so UCLA is crossed out can’t for sure decide where to go between ucsd and uci. Asked my professor he said it really doesn’t matter for undergrad level and at this level all UCs are good. He also said it’s more a matter of where you wanna live rather than saying ones better than the other. Any suggestions/ideas?
UCSD has better research opportunities, more startups, a larger CS community, and a higher ranking for the Jacobs School of Engineering. It’s also in La Jolla, which I feel is a nicer place to live than Orange County.
