Hello, I have been recently admitted to both UC San Diego and UC Santa Barbara. I’m having a tough time deciding which university to go to so I wanted to hear from you guys and see what you recommend. A little background, I want to eventually obtain a PhD in Neuroscience (from UCSD, UCLA, or Stanford). For UCSD I applied as a neurobiology major, and for UCSB I applied as a cell and developmental biology major. In this situation which university do you guys recommend? I care about research opportunities and prestige; social life for me is almost irrelevant since I think I can make good friends in both colleges.
Let me know what you think!
