UCR or CSUN?

<p>Okay CC crowd, I need everyone's opinion on deciding between CSUN or UCR (assuming I don't get into UCI, UCLA or UCB).
My major at CSUN would be Business Admin, Business Law option and at UCR it would be Poli. Sci. I live in West LA and would be commuting to either campus (yes, I know commuting to UCR sounds ridiculous but I have a great job and apartment that I cannot just leave to dorm at UCR or CSUN.)</p>

<p>So my question is: What school would you guys choose? My ultimate goal is law school or a business graduate program. Basically I am having issues between deciding between slightly more prestige, longer commute, more intellectual academic enviroment (UCR) or shorter commute, more commuter friendly school, potentially easier classes (CSUN)?</p>

<p>Thanks for the opinions guys!</p>

<p>Personally, I’d choose CSUN.</p>

<p>Yeah? Any particular reason? I go to SMC too actually, so its been pretty interesting reading your posts haha.</p>

<p>The difference in terms of learning environments is probably minimal. You’ll learn what you’ll need to learn at either of those schools. CSUN is closer, cheaper, and is a pretty good CSU.</p>

<p>If I were in your situation, I’d choose CSUN.</p>

<p>And I’m glad you find my posts interesting! :)</p>

<p>I heard that CSUN’s college of business is one of their better ones.</p>

<p>Go to CSUN for your sanity’s sake. Don’t try to make a west LA to Riverside commute, regardless of whether or not you’ll be making the commute during rush hour otherwise you’re gonna want to shoot yourself. </p>

<p>I live 20 minutes away from UCR and it is no fun at all to drive there. It’s a nice school though. But you got a much better major at CSUN and much much cheaper. If I were you I would choose CSUN, but I like UCR alot more. </p>

<p>Go to whatever school enables you to get the highest GPA for grad school. I couldn’t tell you whether that’s taking business classes at CSUN or Polisci classes at UCR. </p>

<p>Is money a factor? </p>

<p>For you as business, I prefer CSUN. Better school and option there. Plus you get access some great internships. </p>

<p>Go to CSUN. Sounds more better than dreadful Riverside. You sound like you’re leaning more towards business, anyways. </p>

<p>If grad is your goal think of which school will enable you to get a better GPA. Worry about prestige when you apply for graduate school.</p>
