Good logic here. He will likely apply to both Merced and Humboldt. His CA and WUE choices are partly driven by his love of outdoorsmanship and proximity to nature. It’s really important to him and he wants to recreate as well as study it. He wants to keep earning wilderness first aid certs and do summer work there too. Merced’s proximity to Yosemite is good. Air quality less (he has asthma and having grown up in Central Valley I’m well versed in bad AQ). But he’ll apply to keep Eng option open.
