I am a transfer student who applied to both UCSD and SDSU. I am having trouble deciding which to go to.
I am worried UCSD has much harder material and that I will endure a lot of stress which many people have scared me into believing. I am thinking that if I can just get a degree from SDSU, then why not? But then I also worry that the name of UCSD will look better for potential employers. I am not worried about cost of school, but does anyone have any advice/personal experience from either schools?
@JR2023: School name really depends upon which career you are targeting. As a Biology major, it really should not be an issue for employers since most will look at your work experience over where you attended Undergrad.
You need to decide which school will offer the best opportunities to make you successful. Any science major will not be easy, but if you have a good work ethic, you should be fine where ever you attend.
Do you have any area of focus in the Biological Sciences? Does SDSU or UCSD offer better courses in this area?
What about costs? Depending upon your career plans, keeping Undergrad costs at a minimum will be helpful.
Best of luck with your decision.
