Comparing Boston University & UC San Diego

<p>So I'm stuck between BU and UCSD...</p>

<p>They're two very different schools, but I'm not sure what would be a better choice for me. With the financial aid package aside, I need some wise insights on the strengths and weaknesses of both schools. I originally wanted to go to a small liberal arts school in the East but got waitlisted to the ones I wanted to go to, so I need to settle on BU or SD.</p>

<p>I'm looking to being in a humanities and social science field.
(I got in BU's - College of Arts and Sciences & UCSD's - Eleanor Roosevelt College, PoliSci)</p>

<p>What would be the better deal here?
I really liked how clean SD's ERC dorms and gym was but not so much the size and La Jolla. However, I haven't visited BU...</p>

<p>ANY input is welcome. Please help... Thanks</p>
