<p>I am in my last semester of community college and i about to transfer to a University as an economics major.
I applied to: </p>
<p>UC Davis
UC Irvine
UCLA
UC San Diego
UC Irvine</p>
<p>the main i question have is for an undergraduate degree does it really matter where i go? I really wish i would've applied to UC Santa Barbra because the area seems really nice. However i didn't apply because i felt i would get too distracted ( due to the party scene )... I signed a guaranteed transfer agreement with UC Davis so im pretty much guaranteed admission there.
I want to get a job in the bay area after i graduate and Davis is the closest to the bay area so that is my first choice right now</p>
<p>I also applied to Santa Clara University. Everyone is telling me that would be the best place to go because it is in the Silicon Valley and i would almost be guaranteed a job there. That is the most important factor to me. I want to be able to easily land an internship and get a job after graduation. I plan to get a job after my undergraduate degree and maybe have them pay for my masters. I dont know too much about that but im doing more research now. </p>
<p>I know none of those schools are really recognized for economics but which is the best among them?</p>
<p>I also wish i would've applied to San Jose State but i didn't because i figured it would take me a lot longer to graduate from there because of the enormous amount of people that go there and i kind of want to live on my own away from home</p>
<p>Any suggestions and advice would be greatly appreciated. I really want to here from as many people as possible so please feel free to respond and say whatever. Thanks</p>
