<p>i recently got accepted to these two schools for business economics
now i am having a hard time choosing which one is better for my major
both are about the same ranking in the top national universities.</p>
<p>Any feedback is appreciated.</p>
<p>The two schools are approximately equal in this area. I would consider the other areas you are interested in relative to what the schools offer. For example, do you want to take any Chemistry or Environmental Science courses also?--then go to UCSB. Are you interested in looking at Computer Science or Infomatics?--then go to UCI.</p>
<p>The other thing I would consider is where they are located. UC Irvine is in a very large and somewhat crowded metro area, while UC Santa Barbara is in a more isolated area outside of a much smaller city. Personally I would have preferred UC Irvine (and did in fact apply there and was accepted--though I never went to the school), but this is a real personal question. If you have the time, go visit them--they are only about 3 hours apart from each other drive-time wise (well, at least if you drive on this weekend). Decisions are due by Tuesday.</p>
<p>P.S. I should also point out that UCI is more of a commuter college--so if you are looking for a college where everyone lives on campus, pick UCSB.</p>
<p>biz/econ- UCSB > UCI
Location- UCSB > UCI
I would go Santa Barbara.</p>
