I’ve done a search on schools in California with these majors and narrowed it down to these, in order of preference:

UCLA (University of California: Los Angeles)
UC Davis (University of California: Davis)
Cal Poly SLO (California Polytechnic State University: San Luis Obispo)
SDSU (San Diego State University)
CSU Long Beach (California State University: Long Beach)

Of course, I don’t know how strong these schools actually are in terms of their design programs, so I was wondering if you guys could point out some colleges that are known for a good design program (or at least inform me about its status at the colleges listed above). Thanks!

BTW, does a lower acceptance rate necessarily constitute a college as “better” (because UC Davis seems to have the highest of the ones mentioned… haha)?
