Best Administration and student support?

Here’s a question that is weighing heavily on my choice of which school to transfer to:

Which UC has the most helpful staff? The most accessible faculty? The most supportive counseling?

I am about 50/50 between UCSD and UCLA right now, and I hear that the bureaucracy in both of these schools can be frustrating. From what I’ve read, it sounds worse at UCLA.

To clarify my concern, I am pursuing a degree in neuroscience, and will apply to medical school afterwards. I understand the value of encouraging your students to be self-reliant by not holding their hand through everything. If I expect to cut it in med school, I will need to stand on solid ground as an individual. That said, I believe that undergrad should be an educational experience. I am not here to show everyone how much I already know; I’m here to show you that I am capable of learning everything you have to teach.

So, with that in mind, which schools do you guys think offer the best learning environment?
