UCSB vs UCI ... Communications vs Literary Journalism

Transfer Students UC Transfers

Hi, I’ve been accepted as a transfer student to Pre-communication major at UCSB and Literary Journalism major at UCI. I am really torn… I want the best shot of success.
Communications is theory and is broad and Journalism is very to the point we’re teaching you the skills you need to be a great journalist/editor/etc.

I know UCSB is a party school but I am past my party days (28 years old lol) but I still would like things to do on the weekends and be able to meet people my age.

With all this in mind, any suggestions? What are your pros and cons?

If you prefer UCSB you can always write for the student newspaper. Look for internship and mentorship possibilities. Strengthen your multimedia and social media skills. This is a very tough industry and getting tougher - prepare yourself for different types of communIcations jobs.
