<p>I’m choosing between these 2 colleges, my major is bioengineering but I’m not sure about it, and if I switch I’d probably pick something medical. Which school is better for me?</p>
<p>I want to consider social life too. I live in the Bay area, so Davis is closer, but that really isn’t a big issue for me. I know that they are ranked the same, but everyone keeps telling me that UCI is getting better than Davis. However, I’ve always thought that Davis is better. Help me pick!</p>
<p>I think Davis has an overall stronger biology department.
I have a few friends at UCI, and they tell me that everyone is very friendly there. Davis is supposedly more stuck up though.
But since the schools are fairly even, I wouldn't worry too much about choosing based on a major. You might end up changing your mind, after all.</p>
<p>Can't go wrong at either school. Visit and decide.</p>
<p>I'm in the exact same situation as you are, except biomedical engineering :)
I think I'm choosing Davis!</p>
<p>For any bio-related engineering, Davis would be the way to go.</p>
<p>Liesel: Whoever told you that has no idea what they're talking about.</p>
<p>Either one would be good for bioengineering, and their reputations are about the same in that field. If you like big cities and the beach, I recommend Irvine, if you like the peace and quiet of the countryside, Davis.</p>
