<p>Hello everyone. I got admitted to UCI for the CSE major and UCSB for Computer Science (currently "pre-computer science"). Which is the better school academically according to the major I selected?</p>
<p>UCSB </p>
<p>(10 char.)</p>
<p>Why? And what is "10 char."?</p>
<p>anyone else have an idea?</p>
<p>Sorry.</p>
<p>You asked which is the better school academically for computer science. IMO, UCSB is better. It has strong engineering programs.</p>
<p>The "10 char." thing is just to lengthen the post to ten characters so it can be posted...</p>
<p>You won't go wrong with either choice. If you can, make a visit and then decide. The campuses are quite different. UCI has more of a commuter school feel. USCB has the beach, but a big party scene that can be distracting.</p>
<p>If it is just computer science, then UCI is better. CSE at UCI and CS at UCSB, then maybe UCSB is better.</p>
<p>Thanks everyone for your advice! I've decided to attend UCI for CSE major and I just submitted my SIR last night!</p>
<p>^ Congrats!</p>
