<p>This is not a hate thread or a "hey lets bash this college of a while..." but is UCSD better than UCLA in anything? </p>

<p>Background:
I am pre-med (Psychology major), and tend to be transfering as a junior.</p>

<p>"I am pre-med (Psychology major), and tend to be transfering as a junior."</p>

<p>Well, if you're an athletic artist from a rich family who also likes to deal drugs on the side, then I don't think there are any Nicole Fordes at UCSD to ruin your love life. :(</p>

<p>MORECOWBELL!!,</p>

<p>UCLA is at or above the national average for med school acceptance.</p>

<p>As for the OP, here's what I can say as someone who's gone to both campuses (UCSD for grad.)</p>

<p>UCSD offers a much more academics-focused experience than UCLA. There are truly fewer distractions around UCSD than at UCLA, and many of the departments are stronger (from a research perspective) than UCLA.</p>

<p>However, it is my firm belief that UCLA offers a better overall undergraduate experience. For one, the campus is better organized, the students are more tightly knit, and the recruiting is better at UCLA than at UCSD. </p>

<p>For what I do at the graduate level, though, UCSD is light years ahead of UCLA. /shrug.</p>
