Thanks for the responses, guys. This board is certainly more responsive than the UofC board.

Sorry for the confusion, SDTriton, I meant $20,000 more per year. And I am a California resident, ignore whatever my username location says.

There is no Engineering at U of C so it would be "safer" to go to UCSD if you plan on switching majors down the road.
That's my main argument for SD. However, UofC will probably have smaller class sizes but no engineering. Is it possible to do a BS in physics and then do a masters in engineering? Also, since UofC is more prestigious than UCSD, wouldn't that make it easier to get into upper tier graduate schools for me? Or am I placing far too much importance on the name of the college rather than the college itself?

Thanks once again,
