Hi, I’m looking to apply for De Anza or Santa Monica as international student. I plan to major in mechanical engineering in UC’s. I have a hard time deciding which college I should choose. I need some advice and suggestions. My questions are as below.

1) Which college is better? DA or SMC?
2) Which college has better pre-engineering programs? Which college can I register classes easier? (some classes are full before u can register)
3) Which college has better faculty staff? (esp. physics & maths professor)
4) Which college is easier to get into mech engineering in UC? (I know it depends on GPA, but from what i heard mech. engineering isn’t as good in DA, is it true? Is SMC better in mech. engineering?)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
