help, i need to submit my SIR to a college tomorrow and i still havent decided where to go. i’ve been exepted to UCI and UCLA for computer engineering. i know that the choice is obviously UCLA but i dont want to live in LA or in a big city in general. I liked the overall feel of irvine and they do have a decent engineering school which is good for me. do you think its a mistake to choose UCI over UCLA? or should i choose UCLA just for the prestige.
If you like UCI better and feel you will happier attending, then select UCI. Prestige may get your foot in the door when it comes to some employers, but your work skill set will get you the job and UCI is fine for preparing you for a Computer Engineering career.
Remember a Happy student= Successful student
Nothing wrong with UCI in your situation, although I must add that Irvine in many respects has big city issues as well.
