<p>My top college was UCD for a long time, but they wait listed me so I had accepted going to UCSD. Last week, UCD (which is the school I'd much rather go to) admitted me off the wait list but my parents would rather have me go to UCSD.
Is there anyone out there who is/was in the same situation? And is there anyone currently at either school who can tell me some pros and cons of the school in general and specifically about their neuroscience/ neurobiology majors?</p>
<p>Both excellent schools. SD has the prestige edge in science, but personally, I find Davis’ more attractive as a college town, and would rather spend 4 years there than in La Jolla – surrounded by million dollar homes. As a result, many students go home on the weekends. Also, I’m not a fan of SD’s College system.</p>
<p>I like the students who attend Davis; they seem to be more personable, perhaps more quirky. Nothing wrong with being surrounded by $multi-million homes, but La Jolla is socially dead because it’s essentially a retirement community. Richer people tend to be older.</p>
