Hi everyone! Trying to figure out where I should transfer to.
I was accepted to both schools as an English major I would be doing an emphasis in English education.

I literally live right in the middle of the two places the commute is about 15 mins.
My financial aid packet for LB was great, grants took care of all my tuition and there was extra money left over.
I don’t know how much Irvine is offering yet but I do know that I qualify for the Blue & Gold scholarship so I wouldn’t have to worry about paying tuition either.

I’m also considering double majoring or minoring in Chicano studies if that changes anything

Congrats!

Academically they are both great. It sounds like costs will be comparable. Since they are both so close, I’d visit both, spend perhaps a half day on campus, talk to some students, (I know the are both remote now but, trust me - there are some students around). I think your choice will become clear pretty quickly.
