<p>How's the computer engineering in UCSD compare to UCLA? Which is better? Any difference between them?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>By the ranking UCLA has a little higher than UCSD. But I heard UCSD has better program. (ranking involves lots of factors, not just how good the program is) I also see UCSD engineering in the world jumps a loooot. UCLA drops a loooot.</p>
<p>Which is better from your point of view? Why?</p>
<p>UCSD is good enough in computer engineering for any prospective employer to think twice about you should you complete your degree in computer engineering @ UCSD. So, don't worry about it! Also, any difference between the supposed "prestige" of UCLA and UCSD's programs is negligible at the undergraduate level.</p>
<p>Anyone that's also got UCLA or UCBerkeley, but end up going to UCSD? What's your reason?</p>
<p>well i got in to Berkeley but I turned it down cuz of the fact that it's really far from where i live (didn't want to make my parents drive for 16 hours in total just to pick me up). i also felt that UCSD would be a better option since it does seem like it would be relatively easier to get a higher GPA @ UCSD. But this is just an assumption so it's not the best reason to base a decision after.In the end, I don't think I'll ever regret choosing UCSD over Berkeley. So excited for the Fall!</p>
<p>Any other reason besides easier?</p>
<p>The good looking girls at UCLA might take away time from studying.</p>
<p>cpthk:</p>
<p>Keep in mind that most UCSD students won't be able to answer your question since they never went to UCLA and vice versa.</p>
<p>Realistically, both programs are very similar and afford similar opportunities. Don't expect that CS at UCSD will be easier than UCLA.</p>
