UCSD versus SDSU for Business as a junior/undergraduate

Transfer Students

Hi everybody. Just created an account on here. Let me know if I am in the wrong section.

I am at a dilemma here. I have been accepted to SDSU for Business Marketing, and UCSD for International Business.

I am having a hard time figuring out what I want to do because both schools are great. I am worried however, about the need for extra calculus classes, and foriegn language. Both of which I have minimal interest in learning. The perspectives on SDSU/UCSD are so polarized it make’s it incredibly hard to decide.

What I know:

UCSD: looks better for employers, top ranking’s.

SDSU: not as good for employers, has top business program, better social life, more compatible demograpic, probably not as difficult classes.

I really like the idea of having UCSD as an acheivement, but going to a school with a better demographic, more sports, and a more specific business program sounds better to me (SDSU I am talking about here)

Can anyone debunk what I am saying or let me know about other stuff I may be missing? Personal experiences would be great. I have heard of UCSD student’s transferring to SDSU and being relieved.

UCSD is academically more rigorous and challenging. Socially, as long as you’re willing to go out and make friends you’ll have fun and find parties…they won’t be ragers like SDSU ones, or as easy to find unless you’re greek. (Side note: the biggest parties at SDSU are more Greek-exclusive than the ones here, who don’t really have issues with geeds who know someone.)

Edit: just realized this was a transfer thread. Transfers have a lot of fun at UCSD, the Village is dope.

@DoctorP true. I will be 21 as well so I can join the social scene at the bars. I went to UCSD today for their transfer day, and I like the school but international business sounds way more complicated than just a general business degree. Which of course makes sense, but it seems less interesting.
