I’m a complete East Coaster, but I definitely think it would make sense for you to stay in CA. The only reason to go to NYU is to get internships in a seriously New York kind of field, like publishing. It’s a waste to go there for science. If you aren’t desperate to be in New York, it’s exhausting. I can’t tell you how amazing New York is, but it’s also overwhelming, expensive, and distracting. Lots of people want that kind of experience, but others don’t. It’s too bad Santa Barbara won’t work.
