I tend to think a theoretical/technical education is better than “hands on” so for that UCI and UCSB are great. I also think that the UCs will give you a MUCH better “college experience” (well, SB probably will). I’m probably biased because I live just a few minutes from Cal Poly Pomona, and in my opinion the area REALLY REALLY sucks. Its fine if you have a car though, I suppose. Its just that there is nothing to do there.
Personally, I’d pick UCSB… v. nice area, pretty good academics, you’ll have a good chance at great grad schools if you try, probably something new and different from what you’re used to.
