UCLA vs UCSD

College Search & Selection

<p>I cant decide!! I am a transfer student. Yes I have until June 1st to decide, but I've been researching both for a month in case in go into UCLA and I still haven't made up my mind a little bit. </p>

<p>My major is Political Science. I do want a good social life, but not a crazy one. So the fact that UCSD has no football team, thus not much school spirit is a downfall, however the strength of the polysci program is very very important to me. </p>

<p>Which do you think is better for a polysci major? Which do you think is a better overall school (academics, social life, surrounding area, etc)?</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>UCLA is top 10 in Poli Sci although so is UCSD - [NRC</a> Rankings in Political Science](<a href=“http://www.stat.tamu.edu/~jnewton/nrc_rankings/area39.html]NRC”>NRC Rankings in Political Science)</p>

<p>La Jolla - beautiful beach but can be kind of restrictive because of the folks that live in the area - UCLA is near Bel Air but the students kinda own Westwood as their own space - you don’t really get that sense of space at UCSD in the same way. </p>

<p>I would opt for UCLA it is the better all around choice esp if you change your major which most students do.</p>
