UCSD vs UCI for CS

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Irvine

<p>I have been admitted to UCSD for computer science with bioinformatics and into UCI for computer science. However, I do not like biology and do not want to major in cs with bioinformatics. UCSD is providing change in major after you enroll, but they don't guarantee the change in major. I am confused, whether to take risk and go to ucsd because it is more reputed or just go to uci where they are providing the major I want to study?</p>

<p>How is life at ucsd and uci?
Will it effect my opportunity in future of a better job if i complete undergrad from uci instead of ucsd?</p>

<p>If you do not like biology, don’t go to UCSD and get a degree in CS with bioinformatics. Cha Cha! No but seriously, the schools are pretty much equal and both will likely get you a job. If I were you, I would play it safe and go to UCI.</p>

<p>UCI Computer Science is also excellent, but I think UCSD ranks a little bit higher. I don’t think it’s that hard to switch out of bio informatics once you are there. Basically the first 2 years, most Computer Science majors take the same sequence.</p>
