I'm an ME major at ucsd and it's a pretty decent school. You have to understand though, that UCSD is also a large state school. I hear SLO is pretty good and to be honest, the education is probably the same as UCSD (could  be better even). It also costs a lot less money.  Rent is higher here too. However, the degree might look better from UCSD. UCSD also has a lot more people\n\nFrom reading your question, it seems you are a little unhappy. College is what you make of it. Though I will tell you UCSD has its share of introverted people too.\n\nMy personal opinion is yes, give UCSD a shot. Why? well because you clearly don't like SLO. You also get to have a new experience. \n\nJust remember that since you are transferring you will not get the "freshman experience" of living on campus at UCSD. You will have to make new friends. \n\nFeel free to e-mail me for more detailed info

for architecture, it won't actually affect you in the job world. all it says is that one is more techniccally based and one is more art based. UC berkeley is probably a bachelor of arts because it's more theory and book stuff. Cal Poly SLO, for instance (sorry if you aren't applying in California, but that's the area I know), would be more of a Bachelor of Science because it's more math and science. A BS is probably more likely to get you a job right out of school because you'll have more technical training. I, then, would go for the BS.

For me, the question was answered by my major. (The choice was  Cal or UCLA, I chose Cal)\n\nIf you are Business, USC is a better choice; UCLA does not have an undergraduate business degree, plus the alumni network is stronger.\n\nHowever, overall UCLA is a better school.\n\nHere's a joke for you:\n\nQ: What do all the students at a USC/UCLA football game have in common?\nA: They all got into USC.

I would say both PCC and Santa Monica City are good..but i attended East Los Angeles College and I liked it alot.  Many people i went to school at ELAC got accepted to UCLA etc.  Mount Sac should be good too.  Good luck!

I concur with Teebs. Grossmont is the better school. The curriculumn ther has been masterfully designed totransfer credit to a UC or CSU school very easily. A lot of SDSU and UCSD students go to Grossmount to take classes that would usually be impacted and more costly to attend in the respective universities. \n\nI went there many moons ago while attending SDSU at the same time. Grossmount was sometimes called little SDSU.

I would say UC Davis is the best. \n\nYou could always look up the list online, just type in top 100 medical schools in USA - then look through it for ones in Cali

San Diego State is a much larger university than CSUS and would more likely have more resources (teachers, classes, etc.). Also, living close to the beach beats living close to a cow pasture.  I would choose SDSU!!!

University of Southern California\nUniversity of "Put a state's name here"\n\nThere are many good universities.

All UCs are good, but the ranking is as follows:\n\n1. Berkeley\n2. Los Angeles\n3 San Diego\n4. Irvine\n5. Santa Barbara\n6. Davis\n7. Santa Cruz\n8. UC Riverside\n\nUCLA has better opportunities given its location.

Santa Clara isn't a UC. UC Santa Cruz is - but its rated the worst UC.\n\nI'd go UCI Bio for sure.

I will assume you are a bit above average student...\n\nForget Nevada completely if you will reject UNLV and UNR.\n\nYou seem to be the perfect candidate to go to University of California-Santa Cruz since it is academic, mostly without sports, and has no greek system. The other close options for you would be UC Irvine (not into sports, mild greek, and decent academics) and UC Davis (huge in women's sports, small greek, but great academics). Under your description avoid: UCSD, UCSB, and any state school. You may want to gamble with UC Merced, but the prestige they'll have is unknown.\n\nIn Washington your only option is University of Washington, and in oregon, I highly suggest the University of Oregon for you since it fits under your description.\n\nIf you are a high ranking student, I suggest you Apply to Cal Tech, Berkeley, and Stanford. USC appears to be a good school, but it is heavily into sports, decent greek, and it is located in the ghetto. UCLA has the same problems as USC.\n\nHope this helps.

Don't be conflicted.  It's easy...if your primary concern is money, go to community college and transfer later.  Save about 2 years worth of UC fees in community colleges, for real!  UC offers up to Ph.D and State Universities only offer up to Master's Degree.  UC, of course, is bigger and better financial offerings.  If you are going to major in sciences, UC's are better because they have more money to fund researches.  Other than that, the Bachelor's Degree is the same.  One cannot discriminate a person from UC and State in the working world since some perfect A's students go to State just because it is close to home and less debt for college money.  What really matters is that how you define yourself after you get out from college...Good luck with the rest of your quarters...Don't give up!!!...Don't think community college is academically easy too...

I majored in communications at Cal Berkeley and loved the program--a little under-funded, but got a great education. Their journalism school is top-notch.

I believe Stanford University is the highest ranked of all California schools, placing 5th in the US News and World Report rankings (probably the best known college ranking system). It is also one of the better-ranked doctorate-level engineering schools, but there are other universities better in other areas.  Check out the links for more information, the second provides tuition, and student body sizes.  The first is a link to the Stanford University homepage, you can apply there should you choose to do so.\n\nThe best California universities in the rankings following Stanford are:\nCaltech at #7, UC Berkeley at #20, and UCLA at #25.\n\nhttp://www.stanford.edu/\nhttp://www.usnews.com/usnews/edu/college/directory/brief/drglance_1305_brief.php

First of all, it's going to be tough to get a good GPA in engineering at any school, so good luck with that!  I hope you like math!\n\nWhile I have no personal knowledge of Santa Barbara or Davis, I definitely think that a party school would be a better choice for the reason you state (plus you will have more fun).  I transferred from a party school to a more academic school and found that I had to work much harder to stay at the top of the curve.  \n\nGood Luck!

Alot of great hospitals in SoCal UCSD, UC Irvine, USC, UCLA, Cedars. I'm sure any of those would be a good choice.
