<p>these are the only two schools i got into. im majoring in computer science and business, which one should i go to?!</p>
<p>Did you not submit your SIR or something.... UCSD is better at CS, although I'm not sure about Davis' business school since UCSD is still building its Rady School.</p>
<p>thanks peppers, my SIR is due on June 1st</p>
<p>The environments at these two schools is really different. Which do you prefer?</p>
<p>The environments are really different. I am a recent UCI grad and in general, I would easily choose UCD over UCSD. I had friends at all the UC's and have spent time at UCD and UCSD.</p>
<p>While UCSD is ranked higher, there is no real difference in the workplace; unless of course you intend to work in a specific location in California, since UCD feeds into the Bay Area and UCSD into SD and socal.</p>
<p>You will definitely get a great education at either place. Good luck!</p>
<p>Hey la_demolition, I'm in the same dilema as the original poster. I'm also deciding between UCD vs. UCSD. How come you said you would choose UCD over UCSD, just wondering?</p>
<p>I know alot about UCD since I've lived in Northern CA my whole life and been to the campus many times, but have never visited UCSD before so I have no idea what's it's like there. When I finish college, I plan to settle in Silicon Valley to find work in engineering.</p>
<p>Well, I was a Poli Sci major, so I might not be the best authority if you are in engineering. (Like, I have no idea if UCSD has the best engineering program in the country, etc...)</p>
<p>I am from Norcal too, and I chose UCI over UCD partly because I wanted a change. after spending time with my friends at UCSD, I just didnt like how there was 7 colleges and it felt really science-focused as a school. UCD has a good sports program, a better social scene and good greek system. </p>
<p>Apart from better weather and possibly some advantages if you go into a particular field (I have no idea what that is though), I think UCD is a much better school and anyone from jocks to tree-huggers to real studious-types will feel at home.</p>
<p>nate cali - if you are looking to work in silicon valley, I would think that UCD would be a better choice for you.</p>
<p>hope this helps</p>
<p>Hey thanks for the info.</p>
<p>Btw, my cousin is also a poli sci major. What career field are you in now that you have just graduated in that major?</p>
<p>financial services</p>
