UCSD vs UW?

College Search & Selection
1

Hi guys,I was wondering if you guys could give me some advice?
I got into University of Washington-Seattle and UCSD,but I’m not sure which one I should choose?
UCSD: Human Biology Major-Muir College
UW: Pre science (kind of iffy since I heard that it’s competitive to get into a biology major)
Tuition is not a problem for me.
I haven’t been able to visit any of the campuses,but I’ve heard that UW-Seattle’s campus is beautiful.I prefer San Diego’s weather,but I heard that Seattle is a much more interesting city. Are there a lot of things to do around UW than UCSD?
Which one should I choose especially since I plan to go to Med School?

Thank you!

Seattle and San Diego are apples and oranges. The ONLY similarity is the water, i.e. recreational activities. Both are interesting cities. However, I would say that LaJolla in SD is much nicer than the University District in Seattle.

Is one significantly lower cost than the other? Would you want to put the savings at the lower cost school into expensive medical school costs, if you get into medical school?

Note that majoring in biology is not required to take the pre-med courses.
