So i got accepted into both of those UC’s and was wondering which one had a better engineering program and which one I should go to?? I don’t care about the social life much / partying
UCSC does not have chemical engineering, so UCD is your only choice out of these two if you want to study chemical engineering.
sorry! UCSC is for computer science!!
Do you want to study chemical engineering or computer science?
Note UCD and UCSC criteria for entering the CS major:
