UC Davis or UC San Diego as a Transfer for Computer Science?

Coming out of community college, I am wondering which school you would personally choose and why? I have about two days to make this decision and I want to know what others think of this decision. I would be transferring for Computer Science for UC Davis, and I would be transferring for Electrical Engineering for UC San Diego (however, I would switch to CS when I get to UCSD). UC Davis’s campus may not be as attractive and the program may not be as prestigious but the social life at UCD seems much more alive when compared to UCSD. I am very conflicted. Thanks!

Well if those two factors (social life vs academics) are the only two you are comparing, which is more important to you?

I’d personally choose UCSD. I think you can find a social life anywhere you go.

That is very true LilacSoul. Every single person I have asked has told me to choose UCSD, and I guess I just found that very strange. Thanks!

Have you looked into how easily it will be to change into CS at UCSD? https://cse.ucsd.edu/undergraduate/cse-capped-major-status
