<p>I’m going to UCSD because it’s a very well-respected school, plus it’s affordable. I’ll be surrounded by kids who take their work seriously, yet at the same time I should be able to meet others who like to party (despite the rumors, there are plenty of party-goers at every school) so that I can go off-campus on the weekends and kick back a little. UCSD also has a beautiful campus in a great location with nice weather, which is not to be overlooked.</p>
