Hello,
I am a fall 2017 transfer student for UCSB under pre-communications.
I was wondering if it is worth going to UCSB in the long run? Originally I had planned to go to a Cal State and planned to graduate ASAP without any debts but since I was offered admissions for UCSB that has been in the back of my head lately. I do qualify for blue and gold for UCSB because of low-income so my tuition is basically covered. but the living expenses is a lot more expensive to me if I were to move to UCSB than if I were to move to a Cal State.

I guess the main point I was to get from here is I do plan on going to grad school later on but definitely not after I get my BA because I want to start working right away after I graduate but since UC’s have this ‘prestigious’ background would that help me in the future instead of a Cal State?

I know communication’s isn’t a ‘qualified’ major for most of you guys but I really love learning communications and I have a passion for it. & UCSB teaches exactly what I wanted to learn which is human communications.

Any advice would be appreciated! thank you.
