So i got into both school and I have my heart set on ucsb for pretty long time, but I know UCSB’s film studies is more emphasized on theory based. While I want to do more production based. I know overall ranking that ucsb is better than UM but i saw on linkedin that UM is ranked 18 in the country for their communication program. I also want to do double major in college, I was thinking graphic design, since I want to be an editor, but UCSB does not have that major. I am really struggle and idk what to do, because my parents care about ranking a lot. PlZ tell me those major in both school!!!
Both are great schools. The courses and majors, while important, may be more superficial than you think. Youre gonna be living at these colleges for FOUR YEARS. You will have to enjoy the weather and atmosphere a great deal. Do they have extracurricular programs that suit you? Have you visited them? Which one has a cheaper cost of tuition? If youre a CA resident, I would just go UCSB, because it’ll be so much cheaper than UM.
