<p>Im an international student from Australia planning on coming to study at either Penn State or UCSB for a semester. Ill be studying finance as a major and was just wondering which these two schoold offers the best finance programs.</p>
<p>I realise UCB would be the best school in the UC system to consider but i have heard the party scene there is duller than UCSB and Penn.</p>
<p>Could anyone offer any info about comparing these two schools?</p>
<p>hmm...sb is definitely a more beautiful location. Unfortunately, I can't speak for penn state (I know it's definitely not as good as Upenn) but I know that the economics program at sb is awesome, and the party scene is never dull! go to SB!!</p>
<p>depends on what seasons you go.
Penn State being on the east coast, I would imagine it gets cold and snowy in the winter.
SB has nice weather all the time because it's in so-cal and of course has a beach.</p>
