<p>What are the pros and cons of each university?
I'm an international student.
I got accepted into UVa's college of arts and sciences, and UCSD as a psychology major in ERC.</p>
<p>If you’re looking to go to the beach a lot, then for sure go to UCSD… UVA has great professors, academics and athletics.</p>
<p>UVA is more of the college experience; social, good academically and athletically, etc.</p>
<p>UCSD is a great school for psych, but it has the reputation of not being very social (and I’m from that area, so I’m familiar with it). Definitely not the camaraderie you see at UVA, but probably stronger in the psych dept. So you have to weigh strength of program vs. strength of experience…</p>
