I have been accepted to both schools already and know i want to major in linguistics. I only have the info on their respective websites about their linguistics department.
I know that UC Davis is regarded as a better college than UCI in general, but i dont know which school has a better linguistics department.
Since i would be moving away from home (2 hrs for UCI & 9 hrs for UCD), i need to make sure im making the best possible decision. Costs are about the same.
Do any of you know which school has the best Ling. department? Thank you. I have less than a month to submit my SIR, as well.
Have you visited or plan to visit? Have you checked out the course curriculum for each school? Do you have any preference for either regarding location and costs?

Costs were about the same according to the financial aid packet and tuition comparisons.
Location is important (especially to my mom), but i prioritize the education over the social college experience.
According to the course descriptions from both universities, UCI seems to take a more technical approach, which is what i had in mine.
Thank you for the help.
