ucd vs uci vs ucsb vs ucsd for environmental science ??
hii everyone!! as the title says i'm super happy that i got into so many great schools but now i'm having trouble choosing... my steak is too buttery my lobster is too juicy 💔
for additional context, i got the regents' scholarship at ucd and uci so they're cheaper than ucsb & ucsd (+ extra stuff like priority course registration for first year at ucd and 4 year housing guarantee at uci), i got into ucsd for my alternate major (environmental policy) so i might have to switch later down the line if i go there, and i live in norcal so ucd is the closest to home and ucsd is the farthest!
i'm also interested in joining a variety of student orgs (right now i'm part of fashion, theatre, etc at my high school) and maybeee going to a more social school but i don't mind if it's "socially dead" or doesn't have a lot of parties, moreso that the people there are friendly and kinda chill !
