UC Riverside Vs. UC Irvine?

<p>I got accepted into UCR's business program and plan to concentrate on Marketing in my junior/senior year of college. I have yet to visit the college. My future college's environment and area is important to me, so hearing some not so great things about the UCR area makes me a bit iffy...but if their business program is good...I am willing to overlook that. </p>

<p>I got accepted into Irvine under my alternate major (International studies.) I just recently visited the college over spring break and really fell in love with the campus and area. However, transferring into their business program seems to be very very difficult so I am not sure if I should risk going to UCI and not getting into the program that I want. </p>

<p>I'm having difficulties on deciding... </p>

<p>Suggestions? Advice? Information on either schools? Please help! I'd really appreciate everyone's input. Thanks :)</p>
