Last day to decide… and I’m having trouble choosing between UCSB and UCI!!! I’m from OHIO!
I’ll be on a pre-bio track at both schools and looking to attend med school…
I’ve always been leaning towards SB but I honestly just need help deciding where to go…
UCSB
Pros: Right on the beach…
Beautiful Campus
Great social life
I’ve been reading there are more undergraduate research opportunities??
I’d probably have the nicest dorm here
College town IV and frat row ( looking forward to joining a frat)
Cons: Farther away from family… closest family members are 2 hours away.
Has a reputation for being a party school (doesn’t bother me) but I don’t want people thinking I chose UCSB to party
Seems kind of isolated from other major cities?
UCI
Pros: They have a med center… and are more known for bio?
Cousin & Uncle are 15 minutes away… so I have them if I EVER need anything…
Disneyland… LA and SD are not that far.
Newport Beach and Laguna aren’t that far away.
Anteaters aren’t that bad in basketball
I’d probably enjoy joining a dance team here if I can… (I don’t dance, but it seems like a fun thing to do)
Cons: It’s a commuter school… I won’t be having a car. So I think I’d be alone on the weekends?
Lots of Asians… I’m actually Asian too but I don’t know how I’d feel about being around so many Asians
Any input or advice would be nice!!! Thank you!
