•Hi Cong,
My vote is for UCSD also! If you would go here, you would be my future classmate!
People from the mid-west are really nice, I agree (I married one), but there are plenty of nice people (many former mid-westerners) here in San Diego...
If you like snow-shoveling and building snow-men, go to the mid-west! If you like snow-men without the snow-shoveling, come to San Diego: you can drive 1 hour up to Palomar Mountain, make one, put it on the roof of the car, and it will stay there until your car gets to La Jolla!!!
One thing that I would miss in the mid-west are mountains. California has great mountains, and the mid-west is just a bid too flat for me (I grew up near the Alps). One great thing about Davis is that you would be really close to Yosemite, which is cool.
Academically, I feel that UCSD would probably be the best choice. There are many clinical (eg. the student-run free clinic) and research opportunities here...
Good luck with your decision! If you are still unsure, you should check out the welcome back day this Saturday at UCSD.
