UCSD vs NYU

Hi, so I need some help with my college decisions
SO I got accepted into both UCSD and NYU and I need help deciding. I live in Los Angelus which is why for my parents it would be a better option for San Diego. However I want to be an Architecture really bad. For UCSD I got accepted in an Urban Studies and Planning Major and for NYU I applied for an Architecture and Urban Planning major but got accepted for the liberal core program with a 20,000 scholarship. Which mean for freshmen year, I take liberal pre req courses and by the end of sophomore year, I declare my major as Architecture. I’m scarred that if go to UCSD, I will be not enjoy it and feel like I wasted 4 years of my life. However my parents are leaning towards SD because it is way cheaper than NYU because of flight, food and accomation and closer to home. But I am applying to many scholarships as I can. Another that is hard, is that because I am an Australian Citizen, I cant get any financial aid.

Exactly my problem, I was accepted to both UCSD and NYU’s liberal studies program and am planning to major in architecture. I’m actually leaning more to UCSD because I’m not too interested in NYU’s LSP program.

@Eason1018 So what did you end up picking???I picked Ucsd because cost was a major issue for me. So hopefully I can do Architecture in grad school :slight_smile:
