So,
I was accepted to UCLA and the Honors program at UCSB but don’t know which one to pick. I’ve visited UCSB and loved it…everyone was super chill, the food was great, it’s right on the beach, and I loved how fun and relaxing it was. I haven’t visited UCLA but it also seems cool and exiting…with lots to do and lots of interesting people. I think I’d really enjoy both schools but don’t know which to go with. Some context…I am undeclared and so one school being stronger in a certain major doesn’t apply to me.
UCLA is an amazing school with a big name, environment, and (from what I understand) academics taught by professors invested in your success that is hard to beat. You will probably hear a lot of recommendations to attend UCLA but I would take that with a grain of salt, as UCSB is a great school especially the honors program. I would see what best fits you and your needs but I think you that you should also heavily consider academics and post-graduation success in addition to the environment and student life. Congratulations on getting both and hope that no matter which you choose, you have a great time
