<p>I agree with @fullload - Unless Merced gave you a regent’s scholarship go to Davis.</p>
<p>If you got a Cal Grant at Merced you’ll have one at Davis too which covers your whole tuition, otherwise there is Blue and Gold scholarship at both schools and the California Middle Class Scholarship.</p>
<p>College is an experience, some people choose wrong and regret it for their entire life you need to check out both campuses in person and choose the one you think you’ll thrive in.</p>
