UCLA vs UCSD BioE

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - GENERAL

<p>I’m trying to decide between these two schools. I’m kind of indecisive about whether I want to go onto med school or become an engineer. </p>

<p>UCLA (major: bioengineering):

  • Good overall school and prestige
  • If I decide to switch out of BioE (perhaps to something like biochemistry), I’d still be in good shape.
  • Good social scene
  • Large city (many things to do, close to airport)</p>

<p>but its BioE program is new, which I don’t know if it’s going to get better and catch up to UCSD or not.</p>

<p>UCSD Warren College (major: bioengineering: pre-med):

  • Good ranking/program in BioE
  • Many job opportunities after graduating</p>

<p>My question is, if UCSD’s bioengineering program is really worth it to choose over that of UCLA’s, which is new and I have not heard many things about it yet. Also, is UCSD good for anything other than bio-e? (in case i switch major) And which school has better housing? </p>

<p>Thanks for any insight into these questions. I’m from out-of-state so I don’t know much</p>

<p>i am in a similar hole
UCSD (Warren College BioE)</p>

<p>or</p>

<p>UCLA (ChemE) //i can also get a bioE option on it</p>

<p>i am really torn between the two and i cant decide which one to go to</p>

<p>any response is welcome</p>
