UCSD vs. UCSB in terms of major, weather, safety

<p>Hello, I have a hard time deciding between UCSD and UCSB.
I am a prospective communications major and would like to know which school has a stronger program in comm.
To those of you who are more familiar with the UC's than I am, how would you compare these two schools in terms of weather, safety and general atmosphere?</p>

<p>I would appreciate some honest answers. Thank you!</p>

<p>They both have good weather and are safe. Just apply to both and see which you get accepted to. Meanwhile you can read more about them. UCSD has residential colleges to pick from with differing themes and General Ed requirements.</p>

<p>Thank you for your answer!</p>

<p>Is there anyone who can tell me about the communications program in these two schools? It is rather hard to know how the program really is like just by looking at the course descriptions.</p>
