I can’t decide between UCSB or UCI. I’ve visited both campuses, they both have a beautiful campus, both provide opportunities, the cost is similar, I can see myself at both schools.
If it helps my goal is to go to med school and become a psychiatrist.
My S is looking at both of these for engineering. I’ll be interested to see what others say. We did go to UCSB admitted students day and were impressed. Were you able to attend?
I went to both admitted days and still could not decide. Although at Irvine I did feel the cold shoulder, but I don’t want to base my decision on those interactions. @lovespink
I hope you are successful and can come back here as a psychiatrist on CC and counsel all the stressed out kids and parents
