<p>I got accepted to both and i currently have the dilemma of which one to go to. I checked out riverside over the spring break and have to agree that the 10 mile radius or so around the university isnt that bad, but after that 10 mile radius its pretty ghetto. I got bored after leaving the campus since there was nothing to do in riverside! I heard police sirens all through the night in my hotel room, and the traffic from LA to Riverside is horrible. Its also 6 hours away from where i am located.</p>
<p>On the plus side of things there business school seems to be what i am aiming for. My main concern is just getting a job after my four years and riverside seems to have alot of tools that would allow that. Their dorms were nice and the campus looked clean but was a bit smaller compared to other schools, but i saw some construction so it looks like they are expanding a bit.</p>
<p>I have been to UCSC since my sister graduated from their as a bio major. Rent is high after dorming and she said that its not very fun in terms of a "college experience" she was in a sorority but even with that she still put down the fun factor. She said i would get a better experience at UCR (Which i first denied but after visiting i see that alot of students tend to get close since your constantly at school) and a better education in business. From staying with her over the summer in her apartment right near the boardwalk i found that at night santa cruz is a sketchy place to be around theres alot of druggys and homeless people roaming around. </p>
<p>Im planning on going on a guided tour sometime next week but i just wanted to know your guys thoughts on both schools and there business programs also if you have any info on frats at UCR or UCSC that would be appreciated</p>
