So, I visited UCLA for their college tour yesterday, and I went to UCSD last weekend for their Admit Day. And I have to say, now I'm more confused than ever. Before I went to UCLA, I was 99% sure that I wanted to go to UCSD. I mean, I liked the campus better, I liked the housing better, and I liked the overall feeling of UCSD better. But, after

Well, if they're both looking appealing to you, in terms of place and feel, then what'll decide it for you is academics. LA is obviously more 'prestigious' simply in terms of name, but SD is hands-down the best UC for any biology-related majors/studies. So if you're set on biology of some sort, then it's SD. If you think you might want to do something else--business, etc.--then UCLA is worth a look.

(Now, personally, I'm rooting for UCSD, for obvious reasons that have veeery little to do with your major, aha. XP)

But best of luck in figuring it out! The CollegeConfidential forums are pretty good at helping to sort this out--there may be threads existing that might help, and there are people who are only too willing to lend advice or info.

Ahh. Thanks for the website. I wish you didn't have to have an account to post... I have some questions of my own.

I'm thinking I might have to make a pro-con list of UCSD vs. UCLA. I'm sort of afraid to though... and I have no idea what I would put on it either. 'Cause well, I can't really identify what I like so much about each college.

You can use my account if you want? 'Cause I went ahead and made one, but well. It doesn't have much of an identity. So we can just share it whenever we have college questions for the forum or something. XP
