I was admitted to both schools. I understand that UCLA is considered to be a bit more prestigious. However, I visited both schools, and I absolutely LOVE the atmosphere at UCSB and pretty much everything about it; though I could survive at UCLA, I don’t like it nearly as much as UCSB.
Another thing that I’m considering is my long-term goals: I want to become an entrepreneur, and I feel as though UCLA might be more useful in this regard, as it would certainly provide access to many great connections through the alumni network.
What do you think I should do?
