Help me with the decision: Michigan v. UCLA (both biochem)

<p>So, basically, I narrowed my choices down to Michigan and UCLA.
I'm planning on going to med school and I know that these two schools are almost at the same level academically.. (that's what makes me hard to choose between these two... )</p>

<p>I've lived in midwest for a long time and tired of monotonous life up here..
I want some changes in my life (like gong to CA!)
but then I heard that students don't study much in LA and spend time hang out w/ ppl
(obviously,, there's much more things to do in LA other than studying.. haha ;) )
i like to have social life too but if it's too much then.....:(</p>

<p>also, it's not a big concern, but i heard that CA is doing really bad economically...
i'm getting a lot of loans from ucla so... i wonder what effect it's gonna bring to me..</p>

<p>hmmmm.... other factors to consider....
i haven't done much research about UCLA yet but Michigan seems to have many great programs for science and engineering majors.</p>

<p>so my main factors are... campus life (housing, weather, activities, etc.) and pre-med programs (research, etc.)</p>

<p>i have no idea what campus life is like so if anybody visited either Michigan or UCLA (or both!!) any information would be helpful.. </p>

<p>thanks!</p>
