<p>I am having a very difficult time deciding which college to go to. I have been accepted into both in undeclared engineering, and I've already visited ucsd. It seemed nice there, but i have read a lot of negative reviews calling the place socially dead and a place where people only study. Both will cost about the same, so don't factor in money, i want to have a nice balance of education and fun at college. On a side note i also got into usc, but it seems too expensive to be worth it.</p>
<p>Trust me, UCSD isn’t socially dead. You’ll like it there.</p>
<p>CU Boulder is a great option- it is one of the best schools in the nation in terms of its social scene, would be significantly cheaper (its engineering program has been given high marks) and is in the best college town in the West (I might be biased, I love Boulder!). I would strongly recommend CU!</p>
