UCD vs UCSB (Fall 2014 Junior Transfer)

<p>Alright I want some input from you guys,
I’ve been accepted to both and I’m a Chemistry major. Both schools are pretty close when it comes to my major. UC Davis is 6 hours away where as UCSB is an hour away. I might be leaning towards UCSB because it’ll be easier to move to, has a higher graduation rate, and a promising party life (with moderation of course). UC Davis has a pretty good college town going on for itself, parties do happen there, it’s a quieter atmosphere but it kinda feels right. I know that a UC education is hard regardless but I feel that Davis will be a lot harder, and I’m thinking about grad school, I have a 3.4GPA. What do you guys think?</p>

<p>At UCD, there’s a very studious atmosphere and they make you do a lot of work, especially for the science/engineering majors. Some people get really bored at UCD because it’s a small town, but the overall education quality is great and there are many opportunities to find internships and jobs. Everyone is veryyyy nice and accommodating, as well. </p>

<p>At UCSB, it’s in a great location and there are many more fun things to do. The atmosphere can be just as equally studious as UCD’s, but you can always get away and relax whenever you please, especially since it’s on a beach. The education quality is just as great as UCD’s and there are just as many research, internship, and job opportunities. The party scene is prevalent, but no one really forces you to do anything and the people are really chill.</p>

<p>All in all, UCD can be challenging, and that’s the school to go to if you’re all for books and studying. UCSB is more laid back and fun, while offering great education and opportunities at the same time.</p>
