UCSB vs. UCSD for Biology

<p>Hi, everyone! Firstly, thanks for your time</p>

<p>I got into the UCSB Honors Program for Pre-Bio, but I put zoology/wildlife biology as my majors.</p>

<p>I was waitlisted to UCSD, where I put marine biology as my major.</p>

<p>Assuming I get into UCSD, which school should I pick?</p>

<p>I heard UCSD has a better reputation than UCSB; both campuses are absolutely beautiful (I've been to both); but I heard UCSB is a livelier school that gives you a happier and more relaxed experience.</p>

<p>2 of my best friends are headed to SD, but I'm just really confused and struggling to balance out the pros and cons of each school. How does the SB zoology/wildlife biology program compare to SD's marine biology one?</p>

<p>Thank you so much for you help and input!</p>
