UCSD, UCSB, or UCD for CS?

<p>From everything I've seen online, I can tell that SD has the best computer science program out of these three colleges, but because of some other factors, I still can't decide between them. So my question is HOW much better is the CS program in UCSD compared to the other two? Will UCSD give me a much greater advantage if I go there compared to if I go to UCSB or UCD?</p>

<p>This is a rankings for graduate CS. However, I still think it’s related to undergraduate CS as well. I don’t see UCD and UCSB in the top 20.

<p>I know it’s ranked a lot higher, but I’m looking for the reasons why it’s ranked higher. Would I be at a great disadvantage if I choose to go to Davis or SB?</p>

<p>I believe colleges are all about fits. If you like the other 2 schools better than pick those 2 regardless of the rankings.
I happen to like UCSD better than UCSB. I never applied to UCD. The location is not for me.</p>

<p>This post has 2012 rankings, SB and Davis rank in the 30+

<p>Why SD ranks better? If you wikipedia UCSD, the school was modeled after Caltech.
