hello! im still deciding whether i should go to either of these schools. my major is Korean.

Does anyone know which school has the best program for languages and availability of internships?

Regarding FAFSA: i filed as off-campus (long story) and the net costs for
UCI: 8,900
and UCLA : 10k but they offered work-study for 2k.

I am attached to UCI because I had visited their campus before, i never got to visit UCLA. Also, being the dumb human i am (lol) I did not really research into LA’s Korean major and decided id go to UCI, until LA sent their decisions. I was shook they admitted me and now im conflicted.

I know one of the reasons why im doubting UCLA is due to the housing situation. if covid wasn’t around, id have just one year of housing, and id be on my own for the last year which sucks :confused: and UCI is 2.

I guess what’s keeping me from deciding is that I had invested emotionally so much into UCI, and being a super attached person is such a flaw in these situations.

i know language majors are so RARE, but if anyone could help me out to be able to decide I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT.

thankyouu so much ;-;

Looks like UCI goes up to the 11th quarter (1A, 1B, 1C, 2A, 2B, 2C, 3A, 3B, 3C, 101A, 115) but without much more after that.

In contrast, UCLA goes up to the 12th quarter (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 101A, 101B, 101C, 106A, 106B, 106C) with various upper level electives.

Each has heritage speaker versions of the beginner and intermediate courses.
