I need help deciding!!!

[mandykat]

I know it is getting really close, but I just can't decide between UCLA and UCSD!!! I think both are good schools in good locations, and I don't know which I should go to! I would greatly appreciate any opinions or advice!!!!

I wouldn't normally recommend this, but if you're truly undecided after considering curriculum, culture, student body, location, and tuition, you might as well factor in national reputation. And that would render UCLA the winner.

The curriculum at UCLA is amazing. I'm not a student here yet, but I like: only 2 hrs of lecuture a day, problem-based learning (i.e., a case study once a week), weekly non-graded quizzes to help you stay on top of things. UCLA also has one of the best medical centers on the West Coast. The P/F system is low stress too. Everyone seems happy here. You can't go wrong with UCLA.

UCLA hands down. People just seemed miserable at UCSD, 9 to 5 lectures, ick.

 

[the12thmd]

2 hours of lecture a day versus 9 to 5 lectures? Is that even true?

If so, that would send ME to UCLA in a heartbeat...

Go to whichever school is cheaper and matches better in the specialties you are interested in. I envy you as, to me, the decision seems like "Which should I buy, a BMW or a Mercedes?"

i would say it's more like "should I buy a Honda or a Mercedes?"

UCLA ftw!

 

[sendwich]

hahaha. yeah, not like UCSD....

UCLA students stay in one building. hell, in one CORNER of one building. they just go up and down elevators all day

 

[GuzzyRon]

UCSD? Sounds like the name of a disease...like an STD or something.


Seems like a more appropriate title for this thread would have been "UCSD bashing fiesta"

 

[mandykat]

Serious response: UCLA for sure (for all the reasons above), then tell Dean Kelly at UCSD to give your spot to me!
