*. Some of my counselors tell me to go for it, UCSB is prestigious *

Oh really, so ask them to co-sign those loans.

Honestly, most GCs are absolute idiots when it comes to these issues.

Oh, and, UCSB is a very good school, but it’s not prestigious. No one goes, “oh wow, you went to UCSB.”

(I don’t think UCSB has a guaranteed 4 year bachelors either.)

An engineering degree from a CSU will get you the SAME salary as one from UCSB. Believe me. I know this.
