<p>I'm a transfer student accepted to UCI and UCSD UNDERGRAD theatre program.</p>
<p>Can anybody tell me which program is better?</p>
<p>I know UCSD overall is ranked higher than UCI, but than again NYU is ranked lower than both, and has a better theatre program altogether. </p>
<p>So can anybody give me thier harshest critiques about both the programs or which one would be stronger to learn from? thanks!</p>
<p>I got a tour of UCI. They had an arts and theater department, but I don't think it was anything astounding.</p>
<p>I think UCSD is probably a better school overall...it's more established and better developed, so I would <em>expect</em> them to have a better theater department. However, of course, that doesn't necessarily mean they do.</p>
<p>Assuming both UCSD and UCI have fair departments, I would go to UCSD, just because it's nicer.</p>
<p>ucsd's...from what i hear (im bio, so don't take my advice too seriously)...is probably your better choice. haven't heard anything at all about uci's, and i know that ucsd's theatre and dance is pretty well recognized and known =D hope it helps!</p>
<p>thespian, you'd be much better off posting in the musical theatre forum, they're pretty much all experts there.</p>
