<p>I am a transfer student still trying to determine what the best school is for me. I have a lot of top choices for my major (Communications) such as USC, UCLA and Chapman, but i am also applying to other UC's to increase my options. A few of the UC's i am planning to apply to are UCSB and UCSD and for those who are familiar with either one of the two, i would love to hear your opinion on both of the departments. A little bit about me: I am planning on getting an undergraduate education in Communications and then most likely going to law school or going the public relations route. Your help is much appreciated!</p>

<p>Q: Which school is better for a communications major - UCSB or UCSD</p>

<p>UCSB is far better. they are renowned for their communications department. this is an easy choice</p>

<p>Comm is an extremely generic major, (and not necessarily highly thought of by law schools). For your purposes, alumni/career services is the key for getting that first job. If you can afford 'SC, I’d give them the easy edge. Advising at UC is weak, at best.</p>
