UCSD vs UCD - Computer Engineering

<p>I've already gotten accepted to UCSD, got a Chancellor's Reception invite to UCSB and am hoping to get an acceptance to UC Davis.</p>

<p>I've been hearing different things around the net; namely, people cannot seem to produce a straight answer to which UC besides Berkeley or LA is best for computer engineering. Some say UCSD has a better overall program, research opportunities and a mini Silicon Valley, but I have heard the same things from others about UCD. Can anybody clarify as to which I should attend if I'm planning on going to grad school for a Master's? </p>

<p>By the way, I'm interested in artificial intelligence as well as hardware design if that helps.</p>

<p>I actually just received the acceptance from UC Davis minutes ago.</p>

<p>I guess UCSD has the more “prestigious” program.
But your job prospects are identical from either school.</p>

<p>I wouldn’t say that job prospects are identical, since each is in a different local area. Davis is within a long drive of Silicon Valley, so that may be a slight advantage for local recruiting. San Diego may be somewhat more attractive to traveling recruiters, though.</p>

<p>Firms in silicon valley hire in colleges all across the country.
Also, you can just apply for job positions online. I have done that in the past very successfully.</p>
