UCSB or SDSU for Graduate School?

Applying to College
1

<p>I've been accepted to UCSB MA program for Global and International Studies, and have yet to hear from SDSU MA program for Political Science, but suspect I will probably be admitted.</p>

<p>I will probably have to respond to UCSB before I get an answer from SDSU. Can anybody give me some pro/cons on the programs? I will be studying conflict resolution/diplomacy in the Middle East as well as learning Arabic while enrolled in the program. </p>

<p>Also, is the housing affordability comparable? Party atmosphere? Reputation? Financial aid?</p>

<p>Comments on any aspect would be appreciated.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Party rep??? hahhahaaha (You have selected two of the biggest party schools in the state.)</p>

<p>In general, prestige matters for grad school. A UC reputation beats a Cal State (nearly) every time. (Exceptions might be be eng/arch at SLO.)</p>
