<p>i know they're very different schools... i live in seattle, so getting out and living in california would be REALLY NICE, but UW also has such a great reputation. however, i want to go into sciences (undecided) and im nervous about how the budget cuts at UW will affect me, even though it is probably more reputable than santa clara. furthermore, i really like the classic big-college feel UW has that Santa Clara doesnt really...but then again, Santa Clara has a really nice atmosphere and awesome weather which can be very redeeming qualities.. all in all, i know i would be happy at either place but i need HELP!!!!</p>
<p>I live in NJ, and ive seen both. personally, i’d pick scu (i’m actually going there) because of the location, weather, and job opportunities in the area. from what i’ve gathered, seattle averages one day of sun per week while the bay area averages 6 sunny days. no football team, but i still say go santa clara.</p>
