UCD or UCSB pre-med?

Ok so i'm trying to decide if I should go to UCSB or UCD next year, I am a physics major, premed and I am also in a sorority. Does anyone know anything about the greek life at either school? this choice is SO Hard! I know a lot of other people were in this position and I was wondering why you picked the school that you did. Also, i would really like to hear back from people who are attending or plan to attend UCSB as a science major, I'm a really social person (obviously if I'm in a sorority) and that's the one thing that is making me hesitant to go to ucsb.. i'm worried that there will be too much going on haha.

UCD has a better premed than UCSB, I think.

This is a great resource specifically for you!

I'm also going to cite a similar thread from the same website. I found this link on the Berkeley forum here on College Confidential.

UCLA, UC Berkeley, UC Davis, UC Irvine, UCSD for undergrad | Pre-Medical Allopathic [ MD ] | Student Doctor Network

Everybody from Davis claims (in the thread) that premed advising, research, and overall likability is very high.

it doesn't matter where you go to do your premed. i don't know much about greek life in UCD but a friend of mine is a kappa kappa at ucsb and she is loving it. she says that the sorority actually motivates her to do well in school. the sorority's average gpa is higher then mine ***.

Thanks guys that was actually really helpful. I realize that it won't matter which one I go to, it's not like I'm choosing between Stanford and a csu.. but it's always good to hear other people's opinions.
