Transfer to UCD or UCSD??

Transfer Students UC Transfers

<p>I'm a political science major and want to transfer and stay close to home around Davis, but Poly Sci is ranked #7 in the nation per USN & WR....UCD is #24. (Though as a whole, SD is only a couple spots above Davis). Which is the better school, all-around?</p>

<p>Seems like an obvious choice in regards to academics; however, I hear UCSD has no social life and is extremely boring in that regard, whereas Davis has a pretty chill, fun, and active campus life outside the books.</p>

<p>Also, is the grading more rigorous as UCSD compared to UCD? I know SD has an average GPA of around 3.0 for current students...not sure about Davis. </p>

<p>Thanks...please help.</p>

<p>So I was also in this situation. I am from the bay area and Davis looked pretty good since its about 70 miles from me. However, I just got back from visiting UCSD and it was amazing! The school campus is very pretty and the tour I took was awesome.
I highly highly HIGHLY recommend visiting! It totally made my decision!
Good luck on your decision.</p>
