<p>Okay well I want you to choose a college for each comparison and it would be great if you post a short reason why for each of your choices......Hopefully you'll help me narrow down my college list.</p>
<p>I'm applying UMiami EA so that is a 100% sure thing. But here is the others...</p>
<p>UCLA vs. USC
UCSD vs. UCI
UCSB vs. UCD
SDSU vs. ASU
LMU vs. UPortland
USD vs. Pepperdine</p>
<ol>
<li>UCLA- Although I love the Trojans, UCLA is definitely a better school and a much better value.</li>
<li>UCSD- Definitely better academically and a much nicer campus</li>
<li>UCSB- Both similar in academics, but the city of Davis doesn't came anywhere close to Santa Barbara</li>
<li>San Diego State- Although extremely similar in every aspect and both HUGE party schools.... I gotta take San Diego over Tempe and its sweltering heat.</li>
<li>LMU- Beautiful campus and a ton to do around town</li>
<li>USD- Both have GORGEOUS campuses and are 2 of the top schools private schools on the West Coast (behind schools like Stanford and USC).... 2 of the best in the country, but USD is definitely a school on the rise..... # of applicants skyrocketed from 7,000 to 10,000 in the past year. You can't beat the city of San Diego and all its amenities either.</li>
</ol>
<p>Thanks.....that was really what I was looking for. But I have some new comparisons.</p>
<p>I'm applying to UMiami, UCSB, SDSU, and ASU for sure.</p>
<p>UCLA vs. UCSD
LMU vs. USD
UPortland vs. Pepperdine</p>
<p>Oh and I have taken out UCI, UCD, and USC</p>
<p>I would pick UCLA over UCSD. Better academics, athletics and social life. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>UCLA vs. USC: UCLA hands down, better rep, prettier location
UCSD vs. UCI: UCSD, much better school
UCSB vs. UCD: UCSB: if you're not going to a top UC, might as well go to the one with the most fun
SDSU vs. ASU: ASU, more interesting and dynamic
LMU vs. UPortland: No idea
USD vs. Pepperdine: No idea</p>
<p>UCLA vs. UCSD: UCLA, for the academics
LMU vs. USD: No idea
UPortland vs. Pepperdine: No idea</p>
<p>UCLA, Pepperdine, and USD all in landslides.......</p>
<p>I tend to change my mind frequently....so here are some more comparisons.</p>
<p>Wisconsin vs. UCSD
Oregon vs. SDSU</p>
<p>Wisconsin is a better overall school and just as strong (if not stronger) in UCSD's main area (science). The campus + social life of Madison are miles above UCSD. Athletics, too.</p>
