CU vs. UCSB

so here's my dilemma: i've lived in colorado my whole life, i've already experienced CU's scene (meh), and the one requirement for my college experience was that it HAD to be out of state.

however, the only out of state school that i got into (and want to go to) is UCSB, which is exactly what i want, except for a few things. 1) it's twice as expensive as CU 2) its business program isn't as good.

i know that most of you will tell me to go to CU becuase of the cost and the ranking, but would it really be worth going there and hating my college experience?

If you honestly hate CU and think you'd have a horrible college experience, and if you can afford going to UCSB, then go to UCSB.

Its not like its UPENN, NYU, MIT, or even USC business school, so go where you would be happy. UCSB is much better and much more selective than Boulder anyway.
