Hi, I need some help deciding between UC San Diego and University of Notre Dame.

UCSD (Sixth College, Computer Engineering)
Pros: Close to home, ranked higher for undergraduate engineering (from US News and World Report)
Cons: Many students (I prefer a smaller school)

Notre Dame
Pros: Less students, better overall ranking (from US News and World Report)
Cons: Far from home, cold weather (I’m from SoCal, and I’m not a big fan of cold weather)

I have visited Notre Dame many times (My dad went there, and he will be pushing me to go to ND without a doubt), and I will visit UCSD in a few weeks.

Any advice?
