<p>I am sorry for such a specific post, but I am kind of at a last resort. I have been accepted for transfer into the Winter Quarter of both of these schools and am trying to decide which to choose. It is coming up so quickly!! Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. </p>
<p>Just a couple of details:</p>
<p>-I am a history major (I can't find any ratings for these school's undergrad history programs)</p>
<p>-I am from Southern California and am transferring from a CC.</p>
<p>-I am a 24 year old male and am interested in going to grad school. </p>
<p>Thank you so much!

<p>I can't speak to the relative merits of the history departments, but bear in mind that there is much more snow in Ohio. This may sound like a silly comment, but as a southern California person, you may like the idea of snow or be repelled by it, and it is inescapable in Ohio. You would have to buy a coat, boots, gloves, hat, etc. And wear them!</p>
<p>That is a good point... although I hear that Washington can get really cold/rainy as well.</p>
<p>haha, i'm the opposite...i'm from washington, a freshman at uw, and i'm applying to transfer to ucla and usc!
what do YOU think?</p>
<p>What do you think of UW? I have had good friends go to both USC and UCLA. UCLA is really hard to transfer into from out of state. You might be able to though, and it is really nice. If you have never lived in Southern CA then you will most likely like it... but I want to get the hell out of here. There are always things to do and if you are patient you can find any type of friends you want... but it is really fast paced. The weather is great, if you want it sunny all of the time. I want some real weather.</p>
<p>So, do you live on campus? If so, where? Any advice for someone transferring into UW during the WINTER quarter, and having never been there?</p>
<p>Seattle is one of the most business dynamic cities in the US now. Venture capital money is sloshing around. Microsoft millionaires are giving tons to UW. Paul Allen is turning Seattle into the biotech capital of the world. What a great place to go to school.</p>
<p>I live in Seattle, right by the UW, and it's a beautiful city. Yes, there are grey skies for muc of the year, but there are also lakes, bays, mountains and trees everywhere. The UW is a very good school, but I don't know much specifically about it's history program. I may just be biased because I live here and always hear good things about it and I would never want to brave midwest winters... but I think the UW would be a great choice.</p>
