Take the best engineering programs, internships, cost of living, social life, atmosphere, and environment/things to do in account.
I don’t know that much about the schools.
I currently have the three options of UCI, UCR, or UCSC and I don’t know which to go. I hear UCR is slightly better than UCSC, but UCSC is next to the beach which is a huge plus. UCI I hear is good but some people don’t like the area.
