<p>i have been accepted by UCR and SJ State. Can anyone tell me or give me some suggestions about which one is better? Money is not really an issue for me and I tend to major in chemical engineering or other engineering science related majors. Please provide me some suggestions.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>depends where you want to live. if that’s not a case, why not try living somewhere you haven’t been before [south v north].</p>
<p>you should look up how much each dept gets allocation of resources etc; should help you with a decision. </p>
<p>personally i don’t know anything about your major but the more $$$ for that dept usually = win.</p>
<p>sjsu is fun. thats about all i have to say about them.</p>
<p>I think UCR has a better campus. SJSU is in the ghetto.</p>
<p>If you think SJSU is in the ghetto, you have no idea what you’re talking about.</p>
<p>have you visited the schools ? That can make up your mind quickly… or make it worse.</p>
<p>sjsu is not in the ghetto hahaha. but it IS right in the middle of downtown and there is always soething to do. sigma pi is hella fun too.</p>
<p>i loved the girls at sjsu if that matters. but ucr is becoming a pretty okay uc… on that US rank thing it passed UCSC last year</p>
<p>And it UCR is back at number 96, UCSC 71.</p>
<p>We shouldn’t care one bit about the US News Week rankings. They rank based on selectivity. It is so unfortunate that in almost every young person’s mind, selectivity varies directly with “prestige,” and the only way then to measure a school’s worthiness is to look at its rating on that list. How unnecessarily embarrassing, if you ask me.</p>
<p>Some interesting rankings: [url=<a href=“Kiplinger | Personal Finance News, Investing Advice, Business Forecasts”>Kiplinger | Personal Finance News, Investing Advice, Business Forecasts]Kiplinger[/url</a>]</p>
<p>^ wow, UCSD ranking higher than UCLA AND UC Berkeley. That’s cool, haha.</p>
<p>^ HAHA, dude that just scares me.</p>
<p>^ now that’s a buncha bs. </p>
<p>the day UCM out ranks UCB on these rankings; someone is getting shot and shanked.</p>
<p>Honestly, it depends on your major. I live in San Jose and SJSU is NOT ghetto at all. I don’t know what you guys are talking about. I know that SJSU has a great engineering program, but I don’t know if it includes chemical engineering. I would do some research on both UCR and SJSU’s chemical engineering programs before you decide :D</p>
<p>lol @ SJSU being in the ghetto. lol.</p>
<p>how is the overall freshman living(dorms and food, ect)? how are the campus accomadations like their rec center(mainly gym and basketball court)? how is the overall freshman exp? thnks in advance</p>
<p>^ i know that sjsu is really fun… the one weekend i was there there was all sorts of activities on campus including a bunch of competitions and a big water slide in between the towers</p>
<p>ok what about everything else? like housing and school rec center?</p>
<p>housing at UCR seems pretty nice and the UCR rec center is expanding and it looked pretty NICE when I visited UCR. They got everything that students need. (basketball court, raquetball court, volleyball court, weights, etc.) By 2014, I think UCR rec center will be the biggest rec center among the UC schools.</p>
