Please help him choose

What is better? My son got into UC Riverside for creative writing. He also got into SJSU and CSUF for Communications. They all sound like good choices but am I right in thinking that it is better to go for a major he really wants rather than settle for Creative Writing (even though he does enjoy it) just to go to a UC. He liked the campus tours equally.

My tips for finding the “fit”. Academics, Social Scene, Finances and Happiness. A Happy student= Successful Student

I’d drill into his feelings about the campuses - it is hard to believe they are all equal. Maybe another tour and interacting with some students and faculty will help tip the scales.
