Haha. Yes. Moo and I spent countless hours making the decision. Talking in person, AIM. etc for about 2 weeks trying to decide where we were going. I really do feel that I made the right decision coming here choosing LA over USC, Cal, SD, and Irvine Regents.

All I can say is to visit the campus(I regret not visiting Cal though, because I probably would have went there over here if I didn’t, good or bad, I don’t know, fate I guess?). It’s the only way you can really get a feel for it. I visited Irvine and SD, but but both didn’t nearly have the feel UCLA gave me. USC, I liked the campus a lot, but I guess I didn’t really want to follow my sister.(I really don’t know why I didn’t go there, it was just a huge change of heart because I wanted to go there since 8/9th grade)

Getting classes is a different story. At UCs you’re going to have the problem of registering for classes everywhere(unless you’re in some honors program that gives complete priority for all classeshint hint Irvine, maybe more?). However, if you’re smart about things(like going around the registering system), planning your schedule shouldn’t be too big of a deal, but it will give you several heart attacks when classes get full or close to full. USC, on the other hand, has no enrollment caps(according to my sister) on classes, so she always got the classes she wanted, albeit not always the times she wanted.

In the end, it’s really just a matter of answering the question, “Do I see myself happy here for 4 years?”

My answer? Yes.
