Santa Clara or UCSD

<p>I got in for Computer science at both schools. benefits bout SCU: 5 year MS degree, benefits of private school, alumni, blah blah, 25k scholarship
benefits of UCSD: good school, oen of the best in the nation, has a name
cons ucsd: financial crisis for UCS, too many ppl in class, very hard to get into 5 year ms program</p>

<p>im realy confused and ihave 1 week
help!</p>

<p>UCSD is definitely more known for its engineering programs. Plus, it’s way cheaper! </p>

<p>Which are you leaning to? Good luck.</p>

<p>well like i said im getting a 25K scholarship from SCU. so SCU is cheaper even if i live on campus. i like ucsd very much but its just that i really want to get my MS in 5 years which like i said is really hard to do as getting into the 5 year BS/MS program is very competitive but not as much in SCU wehre i can be guranteed a 5 year MS…thats pretty much the only thing holding me backk.</p>

<p>Check about your scholarship. Will it cover that fifth year? Many are for undergrad only and not that fifth year.</p>

<p>UCSD is really well known, most recently, for not having very much money to spend on a ton of students. If you think you can graduate in 4 years comfortably from one of the most crowded departments at the school, I encourage you to try. SCU is cheaper, is known for it’s undergraduate programs (not those of the graduate school like UCSD), and is in a much better area for comp sci majors - Silicon Valley. Finish up four years at SCU and go somewhere else for your master’s. That’s my two cents, anyway.</p>
