UCSD vs. Purdue

College Search & Selection

<p>I was accepted to UCSD and yesterday I found out I was accepted to Purdue. So I'm pretty conflicted on where I should go now. </p>

<p>I visited UCSD and I really liked the atmosphere which was pretty laid-back (non-competitive). I haven't visited Purdue so I don't know too much about it. I'm waiting to hear back on how much financial aid they're offering me which will be be the biggest factor.</p>

<p>Right now I just want to know strong reasons why I should go to either university. My primary major is a BA in Aerospace Engineering and I was planning on doing a polsci degree if i went to UCSD, and if I went to Purdue, a minor in EE (UCSD doesn't allow more than one engineering degree).</p>

<p>Both have strong reputations. </p>

<p>UCSD is in a MUCH nicer area, though. So I'd pick UCSD. And, like you said, it's really laid-back and chill there. People are happy and friendly. And there are at least 3 other universities nearby, so San Diego is really friendly to college students.</p>
