<p>Which would you choose if you were in my position?</p>
<p>UCSB
Pros: Regents scholarship, honors, priority registration, guaranteed housing all 4 years, college town, location
Cons: party school, mid tier</p>
<p>UCSD
Pros: higher ranking, my dream school for a long time, location, not a party school, more research opportunities?
Cons: antisocial, guaranteed dorms for only 2 years</p>
<p>**I still need to visit both campuses.</p>
<p>Anyone? It's just your opinion...</p>
<p>If money is an issue I would say UCSB looks better...however if money is not an issue I say go for UCSD because it has been your dream school for so long.</p>
<p>Personally, I don't find UCSB to be a party school, pretty much every college has lots of parties...I think it's more that UCSB's parties are so concentrated in one area (Isla Vista) because it is not a commuter school. Usually parties for other colleges are kind of far from the actual college, but for UCSB it seems like there is a lot of parties because it is mostly in one area.</p>
<p>Anyway, UCSD probably has a lot of parties as well, as does pretty much every college. So, I wouldn't really say it's antisocial.</p>
<p>Basically, I say visit both the schools and then decide which one you like better.</p>
<p>Sorry if this post isn't much help!</p>
<p>I visited UCSD and i hated it. It was my dream school throughout high school. Now im at berkeley. =p</p>
<p>^^ Why did you hate UCSD? Thanks.</p>
<p>I would also like to know. Half the people I talk to say they love it, other half hates it.</p>
<p>I like parties so I would pick UCSB</p>
