<p>I'm a californian resident, I have to decide today or tomorrow on a university!! These are my choices - basically iv'e worked like mad to get top grades and leadership positions to get into a uc, and if i go to ucsb i MIGHT be able to transfer to ucla, which would be ideal since i would love to continue acting there - but there is modeling work in Seattle (?) Also a factor is my boyfriend, who is doing two years at community college, then transferring to a UC through the transfer admission guarantee to save money, so if i go to UCSB in two years we could be going to college together, then to go grad school at UW together.
Other factors include: Travel abroad cost is part of UW tuition, not extra, UCSB is crazy expensive and I don't really like it sunny all time. I'm not a big drinker, and if the climate at UCSB is ALL about the parties and less on the side of actual school, I wouldnt like it.</p>
<p>For someone from UCSB - how on earth did you afford it? It's ridiculous to try n work 40 hours a week plus school, especially for someone who's going onto law school after her undergrad. </p>
<p>Is it easier to transfer withing the UC system than from UW to UCLA as an undergrad?</p>
<p>Are people happy at UW, or more so at UCSB, and are UCSB ppl really superficial?</p>
<p>Basically, i need to decide by today. its the point of no return :(</p>
